Look at this gorgeous little one!

I only see the song sparrows in the winter... this one has been around for a few weeks now!

Bird Photography Weekly

I've been reading the Bird Photography Weekly posts for quite a few weeks now! Figured I may as well share one of my recent shots. This is of a juvenile Cooper's Hawk during the recent ice storms here in Chicagoland. It was taken in my back yard (from inside the house, where it was much less icy!)

New Bird!

I've got a new bird in my yard today!

A black capped chickadee!

I've always wanted a chickadee :)

The cool thing about chickadees is that they always look fluffy and bouncy and happy. And they hide seeds all over the place and can remember thousands of hiding places. I saw this guy hide stuff in the brush in my back yard - so hopefully he'll be back!





I have really got to clean my windows and remove my screens! I'm missing good bird shots!!

Comment Craziness!

Wow - I've just discovered that people have actually commented on this blog! I have no idea why I'd never been notified of comments over the past year, but this morning I was playing around with the Flock browser, and there's an area where I can configure it to notify me of comments to my blogs. Sure enough, this blog has quite a few comments - comments I have never seen before!

So, my apologies for apparently ignoring everybody! I didn't know you were there, I swear!

This should not be a problem in the future (though I still don't know why Blogger did not notify me, as it does for all of my other Blogger blogs, and the settings here are the same).

Strange!

Eastern Kingbird

I think I just saw an Eastern Kingbird in my yard!!! Darn it, the birds ate all the food yesterday! Must refill! Maybe I've got a new visitor! Woohoooo first new bird of the summer!

Didn't have my camera handy, unfortunately.

Godspeed, LeRoi

LEROI MOORE 1961-2008

08/19/2008

We are deeply saddened that LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program.
