Winter roared in with vengeance this morning. Living in the Western New York region all my life, snow seldom stops the daily grind from continuing. Basically we just go on our ways leaving a little extra drive time and some extra time to shovel the driveway out, three or four times. The blizzard like conditions would have shut down most areas, but not here.
Temperatures dropped very quickly, just yesterday we had 40 degree temperatures and a light rain. Seeing my rabbit in the yard reminded me…

We all know the benefits of pets, and the same affect can occur when you feed birds. It has been documented that blood pressure lowers while watching the birds feed. Lower BP could lead to lower
Medical insurance premiums. I feed birds year round, which I have heard is better than just in the winter. I do notice the food lasts longer in the summer. I just think the benefit on your health is overlooked.

a Belted Kingfisher two nights ago! I heard a strange sound that I've been hearing at night for years and wasn't able to solve the mystery until two nights ago. I walked out of my house when I heard a noisy commotion outside. After I went outside, I looked into the sky and saw a Belted King Fisher fly right over my head. It was awesome and beautiful. Those birds are usually fast and very elusive but I saw him up close and personal so it was totally awesome! Happy birding everybody!

Hey everyone,
A few of my fellow graduate students and I are teaming up to raise money by participating in the World Series of Birding. We've created a blog to (eventually) keep track of scouting, the actual event, and some other odds and ends along the way. Check it out!

Thanks so much to anyone who donates! :)

I was visiting Baton Rouge during Mardi Gras weekend and was walking along the river walk beside downtown, snapping photos of different things that I saw. Later on when I cropped the attached photo, it looked to me like the birds in the photo were Bald Eagles (the white head & tai…

For those who haven't seen or heard about this bird, it really must be seen to be believed.

Well the the Magpies are back again although they have never been far away they are back with reinforcements! 10 or 12 as far as i count they congregate up on the edge of Dartford heath and descend on our roof tops and gardens with there distinctive calls, just waiting for my neighbor to appear at his bedroom window with his rifle and start taking pot shots at them..

If you are visiting Oak Park on Oak Street between Hazel and Auburn-Folsom Road, walk the network of dirt paths through the riparian zone rather than the cement path. In the canopy, you will hear a symphony of American robins, the typewriter chatter of Oregon juncos, and European starling whistles. As you walk through the oaks, away from the creek, you'll see woodpeckers. I saw a flock of acorn, downy, and maybe hairy woodpeckers in a single grove. One was chasing another in flight, with a terri…

Some people local to this area may not know that there is a free parking lot leading to a small network of biking and hiking trails around Lake Natoma in Folsom. I didn't until today. Take Folsom Blvd. (from Sacramento) past Blue Ravine Road and turn left on Parkshore. There's always nice birding at L. Natoma. Sometimes I see an osprey hunting. I once saw a hooded merganser. Today I saw a great egret up close, a flock of gulls, a female robin, a black phoebe, and heard a towhee (I think--I'm not…

I was lucky enough to make 4 vacation days stretch into a week and a half off of work by attaching those days between Christmas & New Year's holidays and it has been a welcome relief just to stay home and grub around the house and yard (that is, after celebrating each holiday and…

A super rare treat. I just saw a peregrine falcon sitting on my neighbor's fence! It was about 12:45 today, windy and about 20 degrees here in Bend. At first glance I thought it was a female kestrel because it was in a tree, but when I turned around to get a better look, it flew to the fence and it was a good 14". + tall. Amazing!! It looked like an adult in its winter plumage. I used to see these in Portland all the time, but never here in Central Oregon. Awesome!!! It's right up there with the…

Yesterday there was an article entitled
"Scientists baffled by mysterious acorn shortage" on CNN.com about an acorn shortage that has baffled scientists across the country. From Virginia to Connecticut people are reporting a shortage of acorns and in many cases no acorns at all. One resident from New Jersey has already reported finding dead squirrels.
This poses a serious question to those who try and stop squirrels from p…

So last week, I was taking a walk down my street. To my suprise, I saw the elusive and very beautiful Belted King Fisher up on a telephone wire. I was so freakin stoked!! I've seen a lot of King Fishers flying around my house but only from a distance. I've only seen Kingfishers up close once before this time and that time it was a mating pair. Those guys are super gorgeous. I wish I had my camera. Next time! Happy birding everybody!
