A group of warblers is called a bouquet. This small collection of Yellow-rumped Warbler images from Arkansas makes me smile just like a bouquet of wildflowers.
While I was outside yesterday, I watched and photographed a young Fox Squirrel slowly climb down from an oak tree and run across a thick layer of pine straw.
A little over a week ago I said I was hopeful about taking Red-breasted Nuthatch photos in Arkansas. I have and these photos are from yesterday at the birdbath!
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.
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.
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.
I was excited when an adult Brown Thrasher showed up yesterday and began moving toward me. I was already zoomed back a bit for the first few photos of the bird.
While I was photographing a bathing Tufted Titmouse yesterday, a Carolina Wren snuck in silently and landed on a driftwood perch near where I was sitting.
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 couldn't resist photographing this fungi yesterday morning. I had noticed it beginning to grow out of the soil the night before. My camera was ready at dawn.
Snowberry Clearwing Moth photos are what I am sharing this morning. The first five images were taken yesterday, and the last one was taken in the spring.
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.
The Pine Warblers hadn't been around in a while, but they have come back, so I was excited and delighted to take immature Pine Warbler photos three days ago.
Who knew that I'd be taking Carolina Wren photos yesterday? I didn't, even though I've been seeing or hearing them daily here. They have just been too skittish.
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.
Even though they are abundant in Arkansas and Oklahoma, I can't seem to see or take enough Northern Cardinal images. I sure missed them when I lived in Utah.
Before I left Arkansas, I had the privilege of seeing and photographing this male Eastern Bluebird teaching his young fledglings where to find food.
On my trip to Arkansas, I was been delighted to capture Pine Siskin photos. I believe there was more than one siskin frequenting my friend Steve Creek's feeders.
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.
While male Pine Warblers might be brighter than females, this female Pine Warbler has a soft beauty of her own. I can't deny thinking that she is gorgeous.
I didn't know I would be taking White-crowned Sparrow photos on my visit to Arkansas, but they do overwinter here. Thankfully, they haven't all migrated yet.
In a previous post, I showed some of the food a male Eastern Bluebird brought in to feed his chicks. This crane fly prey had Steve and me scratching our heads.
This Rose-breasted Grosbeak that I photographed in Steve Creek's yard, isn't a lifer for me, but these images are the best I have taken so far of this species.
Steve and I have some sad news today: the mama Eastern Bluebird at Steve's nest box is no more. The last time we saw her at the nest box was Sunday evening.
At my friend Steve Creek's home, I listen to a Northern Mockingbird sing around the clock. The mockingbird sings practically all the time, day and night.
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.
These Brown Thrasher photos were taken during three of the days I photographed from my friend Steve Creek's deck while I was visiting him in Arkansas.
