How to stop squirrels from eating your seed
Out in the grass, our enemy lurks…is anyone watching?
Titmouse: “What’s that noise?!”
Cautiously he comes…slowly…slowly now…
“Who’s down there?!”
Safe arrival on the deck, or so he thinks…but what happens next? To be continued…
Watch out bluebirds! Look who’s watching…
Howdy folks! It’s a chilly fall day in Carolina, so we’re definitely not in Florida anymore! Crisp, autumn weather has arrived and with it, our first white-throated sparrow. I haven’t seen one of these guys in a long time, but we had one on the deck this morning. You can see how they get their [...]
Sorry about the political ads…
I don’t control any of the advertisements since I do this blog at work. Lately in the rotation there have been two Barack Obama ads, but Dave’s Bird Watching Blog does not endorse one candidate, vehicle, restaurant, biscuit, etc. over another!
Pelicans and Fort Myers Beach
Just a few more Florida pictures for you today, and then it’ll be back to the bluebirds. I’m not sure what this sandpiper is up above…I’d love your input. It honestly looks like a duck to me, except with the wrong beak and legs attached. Anyway, he or she was walking along the shore on [...]
More from Florida…birds of Ding Darling!
It’s been so much fun for me that I’m continuing the Florida bird theme! These are all pictures from a previous trip to Ft Myers and Sanibel. More specifically, they are all from a day at the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island. It’s a tremendous place for viewing all sorts of Florida [...]
Florida on my mind…
All our recent talk in the comments section has me thinking about Florida! My heart kind of goes there in October anyway because of so many off-season trips down in years past. So, without further adieu, allow me to exit the drizzly, cool weather we are having in central North Carolina today and take us [...]
Old mealworms still tasty to bluebirds
I’ve recently completed an unintentional experiment. How long do mealworms last in your small fridge in the garage? Many have dared to ask this critical question, but few have accepted the call and burden of answering it. Even more urgent, how much care and feeding do these succulent (to bluebirds at least) creatures require? The [...]
Sandpipers and sea gulls at the beach
Earlier this week, our family took a quick trip to the beach, and the weather was gorgeous! Sunny, highs right around around 80 degrees, light breeze…perfect! We like to go to Emerald Isle, which is a great beach in southern North Carolina. It’s not too commercialized, and weekdays in October, it’s pretty empty, which we [...]
October bluebirds visiting nestbox
Greetings! It’s good to finally be back online. I’m really sorry for the delay, but it has been a bit tedious getting transitioned to this new website. For the most part, I think I’m up and running, so let’s get back to the fun stuff…bluebirds!
The other morning at breakfast, we had all three of our [...]
We’ve flown away!
Dave’s Bird Watching Blog has moved to a new web address! Be forewarned that the blog has a new look that’s in progress, and there are some glitches yet to be worked out. The formatting change has unfortunately affected the layouts of some previous entries, too. I’m hoping to get a fresh post done at [...]
