Catch of the Day
Great Blue Herons don’t just eat fish—they’ll grab insects, frogs, snakes, even small mammals when the chance arises. Nothing escapes that beak!”

Last Sip of Summer
Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Goldsboro, NC.
Hummingbirds load up on nectar now, nearly doubling their weight to power a 500-mile nonstop flight south.

This flashy little guy struck a pose right after chasing a female and juvenile off his feeder. Hummingbirds: tiny, ancient, and full of drama.
They’ve been around 30+ million years—since the Oligocene era!

This Ruby-throated Hummingbird lit up dusk like a living ruby—hovering with attitude, clearly demanding a refill.

Keep those feeders full, friends. These tiny divas don’t wait.

Indigo Buntings flock to sunflower fields for seeds & insects, with males singing nonstop to win mates and defend their turf. #BirdsOfBluesky #IndigoBunting #NaturePhotography #RaleighNC

Zipping through zinnias and pausing inches from my face—Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds showing off this morning at Brenda Behr’s feeder in Goldsboro, NC. Pure magic in motion.

Caught this Prothonotary Warbler in Wayne County, NC! A rare glimpse of this bright migrant who flies thousands of miles from S. America to breed in swampy woods. A golden ghost, hard to see but unforgettable.

A Great Blue Heron nearly snagged a baby turtle snack… nearly. After a brief juggling act, the turtle made a getaway, shell and all. Sometimes you’re the predator, sometimes your lunch slips out mid-bite and swims off like a tiny armored ninja.

Don’t let those smiles fool you. The green lizard actually tried to eat the brown one!
Green Anoles are surprisingly cannibalistic, especially when food is scarce or when asserting dominance. It’s not personal—it’s survival..

White-eyed vireo spotted in Goldsboro, NC.
These clever songbirds often incorporate phrases from the songs of other birds into their own complex, chattering tunes—making them one of the most underrated vocal impressionists in the bird world.

A Prothonotary Warbler yesterday seen in Goldsboro, NC.
They are one of only two warbler species in North America that breed in cavities, the other being Lucy's Warbler.

Meet the Prothonotary Warbler, seen on Reedy Branch trail here in Goldsboro, NC! These brilliant songbirds migrate all the way from Central America and northern South America each spring to nest in the wooded wetlands of the southeastern US.

Air to target refueling. This dedicated Eastern Bluebird male feeds his ravenous, impatient chick while in mid air.

Racing back to feed his hungry chicks in the backyard nest box. It’s often the male Eastern Bluebird who scouts for the nest site and starts feeding the chicks. #photography #photographer #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #Bluebirds

A tufted Titmouse at Stoney Creek Park, Goldsboro, NC yesterday. This one was particularly vocal, with a song often described as a whistled "peter-peter-peter”.

A pair of Cedar Waxwing on a holly tree in Goldsboro, NC. There was a flock which descended on this tree, competing with a flock of American Robins for the ripe berries.
