House finch
North Carolina Snow!!!
IT SNOWED!!! IT SNOWED!!! Monday night and on into Tuesday, central NC got hit with somewhat of a surprise snowstorm. When the glorious white flakes tragically stopped falling Tuesday afternoon, we had over six inches at our place! AWESOME! Most of it has melted now, but I have many more wintry pictures to share with you over [...]
Hawk versus mourning dove and finding a tiger swallowtail butterfly!
It’s an eclectic mix of pictures today on Dave’s Bird Watching Blog…I don’t usually start with house finches, but I really liked the contrast of pink and green in this picture on the left. We’re seeing a fair amount of finches right now at our plate. Occasionally, we even see one of these guys below. Now, I [...]

Can you solve the mystery bird?
Okay, time to play a game…name that bird. Here’s a blurry picture (that will make it more fun) of a bird from this morning that I don’t recognize. Its back looks greenish-yellow, and it seems to have a gray head, but what is it? I honestly am not sure, so I’m opening it up to guesses [...]
Hummingbirds on the horizon…
Happy Monday morning to everyone! Hope y’all had a great weekend full of fun bird sightings. We were on the road again, but here are some pictures from Friday morning at our house. I really like the cardinal on the left here…sometimes cloudy days make for the best photography. You can also see the new birdhouse [...]
Still three baby bluebirds and two eggs left…
I had to leave home early this morning, and at 6:45 am, this is what I saw in our nestbox (above). Still only three hatchlings and still two eggs left. I’m kind of concerned, to be honest. Our first brood earlier this year all hatched at the same time, so I’m wondering if these last [...]
