It’s Been A While

Over the last few days I was thinking that it has been a long time since we have photographed a Northern Cardinal. While we were hiking yesterday I even mentioned it to Teresa. Right on time this beautiful cardinal appeared and moved into a spot where I was able to capture this photo. What a beautiful bird.

Branch Manager Inspecting The Office

I sure spend a lot of time trying to. photograph this Tufted Titmouse. He didn't take off but danced around making it very difficult. This photo is a little dark but I like how it turned out.

Standing Tall

We went on a butterfly walk yesterday with a group. It was lead by a real expert on nature from Miami County Park District. Near the end of the hike I totally missed this Green Heron but it was spotted by soneone in the group. Luck for me, he stayed in the same place long enough for me to get a decent photo. This is the 1st one we have seen this year.

Not So Common

I am sure that to many a sparrow, such as this Song Sparrow, are a common bird. You may say to yourself, there is nothing special or unique about her. I don't agree .. this is a beautiful bird. Look again .. check out the details and the grace. This is a very special bird. I guess it is the same we people. Each of us is unique and special. Have a great day.
