I'm sharing these seven Eastern Bluebird images that I took yesterday because I like them and because I am getting behind on sharing Arkansas photos.
Sometimes I share photos here because they are simply so stinking cute. This hatch year Tufted Titmouse clinging to driftwood fits that reasoning perfectly.
Why would I share two Carolina Chickadee photos for the Fourth? Because I can. Because my mom loved these little birds and it has been one year since her death.
Today my post focuses on an adult female Red-bellied Woodpecker because she is lovely. I took these images in Arkansas in my friend Steve Creek's yard.

Last week, when I photographed this Carolina Chickadee near Cumberland Pool at Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge, it was singing its little heart out.
Wet Northern Mockingbird. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these birds from singing or coming to feed at my friend Steve Creek's feeders.
Before I left Arkansas, I had the privilege of seeing and photographing this male Eastern Bluebird teaching his young fledglings where to find food.
Today, I am sharing more Red-bellied Woodpecker photos that I took while visiting my friend Steve Creek and his dog Rosie in his birdy Arkansas yard and garden.

Yesterday, my window was open. It was a rainy, dreary day, and I found myself inexplicably feeling down. I heard the distinctive calls of a Downy Woodpecker.
This morning, I'm sharing a photo of a White-breasted Nuthatch taken in June from my friend Steve Creek's wonderfully bird-filled yard in Arkansas.
I thought this young male Downy Woodpecker, with bits of suet on his bill, was a striking bird, and that's why I decided to share this photo today.
When I photographed this male House Sparrow in Arkansas, I wasn't thinking about how people love to hate this species. I was simply taking photos of a bird.
This morning, I am sharing young and adult Blue Jay photos that I took from my dear friend Steve Creek's deck while I was staying with him in Arkansas.
I was thrilled to take scores of Carolina Chickadee images when I was in Arkansas, from the comfort of my friend Steve Creek's deck while I visited with him.

I'm sharing just a few photos of female House Finches this morning that I took while I was visiting my friend, Steve Creek, in Arkansas last month.
I was thrilled to observe and photograph this charming young Tufted Titmouse a few days ago. I was able to see and hear Tufted Titmice in both Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Two days ago I found a Cicada exuvia or exoskeleton attached to a driftwood suet feeder. The cicada had emerged sometime during the night to begin its life anew.
When I photographed this immature Downy Woodpecker yesterday in my friend Steve's yard I didn't think I'd get two photos with its tongue sticking out. But I did!

I've photographed plenty of Black-capped Chickadees out west but it was about time to add a Carolina Chickadee gallery to my website. Now I have.
I stopped to take photos of an adult male Rough-legged Hawk perched on a driftwood snag over the Bear River when I was leaving Bear River MBR four days ago.
I drove up to Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge early yesterday morning where the first bird I photographed was a Great Blue Heron standing on driftwood.
To my delight I was able to take Great Blue Heron photos yesterday on the Winter Solstice that I found on the banks of the Bear River at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.
I photographed Utah's long-staying rare Brown Pelican again yesterday morning at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and as I took photos of it I worried about its future.
