Ruby's Backside


Who photographs Hummingbirds from the backside? I did.........not by plan however. You know how fast they move. You trip the shutter and before the shutter button is fully depressed, they've looped the loop, dived, chased another hummingbird away gotten their drink and gone. Oh well, I have all summer to try again!

Color on Color


What brilliant color on this bird. Orange, black and white. A wonderful songster too!

Grape Jelly


This Baltimore Oriole loves the grape jelly....but that's no surprise.

Baltimore Oriole


I believe this is an immature male Baltimore Oriole.

Gray Catbird


These guys are great to have around. They are supposed to be a shy bird. But what I see of them while I'm out on the deck.....I would have to disagree.

No birds here.....


.....but while waiting for the birds, this caught my eye. Wild Violets.

Looking my way.....


Mom and Pop Tree Swallow size me up one more time before going out on a bug hunt. They are perched atop a bat box and below the bat box is a nesting box that they are using.

Concerned Robin


This American Robin gave us a good scolding as we wondered through a small grove of evergreen trees. I suspect a nest was nearby.

Who's the man in the window with the camera? And is he a member?
Three male House Finches enjoy a choice of seeds and nuts.

Deerfield Park Marsh


Another marsh area at Deerfield Park. As you can probably imagine, this area is alive with geese, ducks, coots, blackbirds and warblers.

Canada Geese at Deerfield Park


The sun is fast setting and this paired couple of Canada Geese have staked their claim. Any other goose or geese that got close to them were promptly chased off with much show and noise.

Deerfield Park Marsh


A small marsh in Deerfield Park that will soon be home to a number of waterfowl.
