The vibrant Red House Finch.

Male house finches brighten up during breeding season, displaying red, orange, or yellow feathers to attract mates. Their color is influenced by their diet; when they access berries, fruits, and seeds rich in carotenoids, they develop vibrant red hues.

The Smiley Moon
Sadly, the Smiley Moon did not fully deliver on its promise today. Still, the early morning trek and the anticipation of witnessing this cosmic wonder made the experience worthwhile.
A beautiful way to start the day with a stunning sunrise and the vibrant wildlife surrounding you!

Nature's Will
Sky of the canvas, streaked with light,
Electric veins pulsed the night.
Clouds roared, thunderous song,
Lightning pierced, bold, and strong.
In awe, we stood, small and still,
Witnessing nature’s unyielding will.

Hi birdgirl09, they are awesome birds! We currently have a nest in our driveway. She was here last year and hatched three. I placed a cage over her again this year due to the presence of coyotes in the area. There are now three eggs she is sitting on again.

Anna's Hummingbird Glow
At Kelly's Point, where the thunder rumbles, the wind blows,
Anna's hummingbird, its colors blazing, radiating its glow.
Beneath the electric skies, vibrant plumes dance,
On the shores of Guemes, he takes a stance.

Blood Moon Shrouded
Capturing the blood moon was a moody, unpredictable dance with nature. Its eerie glow played hide-and-seek through the fog and shifting clouds, teasing glimpses of its celestial beauty.

At 1.5 years old, a juvenile Bald Eagle is at a critical stage of development. Still sporting mottled brown feathers, it has not yet acquired the adult plumage of a white head and tail.

Red-Tailed Hawk Pair

Yesterday afternoon, a pair of red-tailed hawks were perched high above the ground in the stillness of an old tree. Their fierce and determined eyes survey their surroundings, ever vigilant.

Winter's Quiet Elegance
One crisp winter's day, a scenic pond became the gathering spot for a group of mallards. Snowflakes drifting gently from the sky, painting the landscape white.

Trumpeter Swans New Freind

It was a crisp, sunny day today. A spectacular sight unfolded on a frozen Cranberry Lake. A trumpeter swan and a mallard, unlikely companions, were feeding together on the ice.
