BEAVER

I believe in America. I'm one of those silly flag wavers.


Caught this guy stealing a lily pad, for who knows what. The funny thing is, it's was forth of July. Wave your flag beaver.

GREEN HERON

"Every moment is an experience." Here is a green heron fishing in the bullfrog pond.

BARN SWALLOW

“Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.” This little barn swallow was busy collecting mud for his nest.

BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS

"Better to be a witty fool, then a foolish wit."
This spring I'm taking the time to capture birds with their mates. Watching the male try to impress the female, is quite a sight to see.

RED WINGED BLACK BIRDS

"If everybody is thinking alike, then someone isn't thinking" Never really noticed that there is such a difference in the male and female red winged black birds.

WHITE HAWK

"The imagination is mans power over nature."Never seen the white hawk sitting like this. She drying off after the morning hunt in the dew.

AMERICAN KESTREL

"Always desire to learn something useful."The american kestrel is such a beautiful bird. Never see them anywhere else, always on the wire.

WET WILD FLOWERS


AMERICAN GOLD AND HOUSE FINCHS

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with family”
All the finches stick together.

RED WINGED BLACK BIRD

“We find what we expect to find, and we receive what we ask for.”

ROBIN

“Everything starts as somebody's daydream.” Proud robin on a foggy day.

SEAGUL

Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?Time to take a stroll down the middle of the street.

MORNING DOVE

“You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.” The bigger birds sit awhile before they fly away from me. Makes for a good morning.

GRAY CATBIRD

“Determination today leads to success tomorrow.”
I hear this bird all the time, finally snapped a half way decent shot of one. Hopefully I will see him again.

BUNNY

“I have noticed that youngsters given to the climbing habit usually do something when they grow up”

Caught this baby bunny, peeking at me out of the corner of my eye. I was suprised he stayed around for me to get a pretty good look at him.

KILLDEER

“Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.”
Oh what big red eyes you have.

RACCOON

"Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment."The little raccoon was fishing around for awhile. Pretty cool to see him in the morning light looking at his reflection.

BALTIMORE ORIOLE PAIR

“Opportunities are like sunrises -- if you wait too long, you miss them.

This is a cool find. I have to keep in mind. When you spot a beautiful bird, his mate is usually not too far behind.

GOATS

“If you can laugh together, you can work together”


THIRD FULL MOON

"There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls."
As a rule there are usually four full moons each season. This one is the third full moon this spring. Summer will soon be here.

GEESE

"Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony."
I think the turtle is showing off in this picture.

GREAT BLUE HERON

"Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great."

EASTERN PHOEBE

"Live, Love, Laugh"

BLUE JAY

It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.


Got a good look at the Blue Jay today. He is a very bright colored bird. Hardly miss him as he flies by.

BLUE-WINGED TEAL

“Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over.” Never saw these two before. Nice to see this pair stop by for a spring swim.

MALLARD AND CHICKS

The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop.


Love to see these little guys.

MALLARD PAIR

“Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.” Beautiful ducks making a next.

GOOSLINGS

“You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.”
Duck, Duck, Goose.

LEAST SANDPIPER

"Be grateful for luck. Pay the thunder no mind - listen to the birds. And don't hate nobody." Here's another new bird.

GOOSE CHASE

"Birds are indicators of the environment. If they are in trouble, we know we'll soon be in trouble."

Unhappy Goose, I guess.

TURTLES

"Anything becomes interesting if you look at it long enough."

Turtle.Turtle.

BUNNYS

Not being able to touch is sometimes as interesting as being able to touch.
They where fun while they lasted.
