As the Monarch butterflies made their way through Arkansas at the end of September, I had the chance to take a couple of photos that really show off the unique features between the males and females.
A few days ago, I was delighted to take my first Arkansas Yellow-rumped Warbler photos that I was happy with. The morning was cold, and the birds were busy.
For the first time, I saw, photographed, and filmed a Fox Squirrel gnawing on a deer antler, and it was pretty exciting. The squirrel seemed to love it.
Yesterday morning, I was thrilled when a female Northern Flicker flew into the birdbath for a drink on a chilly autumn day. She seemed to glow in the sunlight.
I had an excellent adventure yesterday morning with Steve Creek and his dog, Rosie, photographing the Elk at Buffalo National River in Boxley Valley, Arkansas.
Fall will bring White-throated and White-crowned Sparrows back to Arkansas for their non-breeding season. I’m super excited about their impending arrival.
Yesterday, I was thrilled to have a female White-breasted Nuthatch in my viewfinder for about a minute. I really wish she would had stayed a little bit longer.
Back at the start of October, I took lots of Fiery Skipper butterfly photos. I am just now getting around to sharing a few of these lovely skipper butterflies.
When this female Downy Woodpecker showed up at the suet feeder in such dramatic light and shadows, I knew I wanted to photograph her to showcase her beauty.
Today I'm sharing two images of an adult Tufted Titmouse, taken yesterday while the titmouse was at the birdbath, enjoying a nice cool drink of water.
What's up today? I've got a few female Monarch butterfly images I’ve been meaning to share but I hadn’t edited them until now. This morning seems perfect!
This morning, I am focused on sharing three Pine Warbler photos taken early yesterday. Each of the three Pine Warblers were on very different perches.
It has been four days since I photographed this Gulf Fritillary butterfly, which was around the time I noticed my external hard drive was way too full.
This morning, I'm sharing an American Coot photo I took last year in Utah. What I like about this photo is the coot and the concentric ripples in the water.
I was pretty busy yesterday morning, but at about 10:46, I had a great deal of fun photographing a bathing Northern Mockingbird who sent water droplets flying.
When I photographed this immature Eastern Bluebird three days ago, I imagined she had a question for me: "Hey, it's October. When is it going to cool down?"
Sharing my lifer Red-spotted Purple butterfly! I took photos of it on a nature trail at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, where I found it resting on the path.
I'm sharing some Eurasian Collared-Dove photos this morning. I've photographed them here in Arkansas before, but these are the first images I'm happy with.
Two days ago before sunrise, I went to put suet in the feeder and found a Carolina Mantis on the stick. Later, a Pine Warbler arrived, and it got interesting.
Recently, I photographed my first Spotted Orbweaver spiders in Arkansas. I used to photograph one of their relatives, the Western Spotted Orbweaver, in Utah.
I'm delighted to be able to share my first White-faced Ibis photos at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma taken yesterday. I really like these birds.
If I hadn’t been focused on photographing insects two days ago, I wouldn’t be able to share these photos of female and male Eastern Carpenter Bees.
Two days ago, when I shared Huron Sachem skipper butterfly images I said I needed to identify another butterfly. That butterfly was a Clouded Skipper butterfly.
I don't always have the best light to photograph birds in—that's simply a fact. But I do like these low-light Carolina Wren images taken this week.
I took my lifer Huron Sachem skipper butterfly photos! I may have seen this species before, but I had never photographed one of these skippers until yesterday.
For a few brief seconds, I had an Eastern Phoebe in my viewfinder yesterday. I had seen one nearby earlier and was happy when this one landed in front of me.
On the same day I photographed the young Northern Mockingbird I shared yesterday, I also had a striking male Eastern Bluebird in my viewfinder for a little bit.
I was about to give up on bird photography for the morning yesterday when a gorgeous immature Summer Tanager flew in and landed in a pear tree.
Believe it or not, I'd never photographed any Daddy Long Legs before. I was happy to take photos of an Eastern Harvestman on a blooming sedum two evenings ago.
