Young Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird In Rain
During a light rainstorm yesterday, I sat outside and photographed a young male Ruby-throated Hummingbird dodging raindrops. He sure seemed to enjoy the rain.

I'm really very excited to share photos and a video clip of a young male Ruby-throated Hummingbird that I focused on for quite some time yesterday morning.
I almost forgot to share this photo of a young male House Finch in molt. By the end of August, he was starting to get his more colorful chest and head feathers.
Happy Sunday! Today I am sharing one Red-bellied Woodpecker male up close photo that I took two days ago just because I like the image of the woodpecker.
Two days ago, I was happy to photograph an adult male Ruby-throated Hummingbird chirping. The male was reacting to another hummingbird near 'his' feeder.
I'm sharing a simple photo of a female Downy Woodpecker this morning that I took yesterday. But is the image all that simple for me? It isn't, not really.
When I had this young Blue Jay in my viewfinder, I could clearly see that it was immature. The pin feathers and new growth told me everything I needed to know.
Today, I am sharing Carolina Chickadee photos, plus a Trumpet Vine Sphinx moth that was on the driftwood where the chickadee landed two days ago in Arkansas.
It has been a while since I photographed a White-breasted Nuthatch. I did just that yesterday and thought that I would share it this morning. And why not?
Imagine you are a young Downy Woodpecker, just a couple of months old. You fly to a suet feeder to get food to eat and suddenly get hit by another woodpecker.
Early yesterday morning, I had a handsome male Ruby-throated Hummingbird in my viewfinder. Suddenly, another hummingbird flew in, putting him on high alert.
I finally have male Ruby-throated Hummingbird photos that I am happy with. It's about time, isn't it? He isn't a lifer; I've photographed this species before.
It's been a minute since I shared bird images. Today I am sharing Tufted Titmouse and Carolina Chickadee photos. Are they dark and moody, or are they low key?
I was thrilled two days ago to photograph my lifer Inca Dove in the yard of my friend and talented photographer, Steve Creek, in Arkansas. I was beyond excited.
After I shared images of an immature Tufted Titmouse yesterday, I realized I hadn't yet shared photos of this young Northern Cardinal, taken earlier in July.
Sometimes I share photos here because they are simply so stinking cute. This hatch year Tufted Titmouse clinging to driftwood fits that reasoning perfectly.
This is a short story, based in facts, about a gluttonous young Brown-headed Cowbird that visited my friend Steve Creek's feeder in Arkansas for several days.
Yesterday morning, while waiting for the first rain bands from Hurricane Beryl, I sat on Steve Creek's deck to photograph this immature Red-bellied Woodpecker.
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.
I was excited when an immature Tufted Titmouse came into my friend Steve Creek's birdbath two days ago to get a drink of refreshing water during the morning.
Today, I am sharing an image of an adult male Pine Warbler photographed in Arkansas. I enjoy viewing the photo because of the contrasting sunlight and shadows.
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.
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.

I took these photos of a Fox Squirrel when the squirrel came in to enjoy a nice drink of water at my friend Steve's Creek's bird bath in his yard in Arkansas.
I've been wanting to share a few more of the male Northern Cardinal photos I took from my friend Steve Creek's deck in his very birdy yard and garden.
I had a blast taking these Blue Jay images at Steve Creek's home in Arkansas. Soon after the bluebirds fledged, the jays felt safe to come into the feeders.
Some of my images simply make me laugh out loud. This male Eastern Bluebird photo did that because it looks like the bird is levitating over Steve Creek's yard.
