Little Bird’s Nest

 

I watched this little bird’s nest all bow/gun season of 2020.  It was in a large bush right outside my blind.   I never seen any bird movement near it, but I was able to catch a picture in March 2021.  Its a cute little nest…looks well built….some little birdie worked real hard to build it.  I wanted to get a better look, but I decided to let it free of human touch.

 

Bald Eagle

There is an Bald Eagles nest across the river from our property.  Its been there for years. I check in and out from time to time when in the area.

This time the Eagle was there, it was active due to my unwanted presence(I didn’t stay long).

Ohhh and it was loud(yup I was getting yelled at too, get OUT)! This is the 1st time in all the years….that I was able to capture some quick pictures! I was pretty impressed.

Plus, I am pretty sure there were eggs in the nest as the Eagle never flew far away and always came back!

Trail Camera Christmas Present!

My 2020 Christmas Present from Marcus!

One of my new Christmas presents from the sweetest man I know(Marcus, it’s you)! This new trail camera is amazing……it has a macro lens…..where have you been my whole life??? Yes, I love Cardinals, so I couldn’t pick just one. Still working on the perfect set-up. Super impressed with the camera and my man!

I have been using trail camera’s to capture my backyard birds for a few years now.  I had been wanting something that would focus more on the bird than anything.  Marcus had his eye on a new trail camera that had this marco lens.  It went on o sale shortly before Christmas and he nabbed that right up.

I had no idea I was getting this trail camera for Christmas, but I couldn’t be any happier.

Super impressed on the focus of the lens and its clarity.  I have had a many of camera’s on my birds, but this here camera it supreme caliber.

It is a work in progress….as I am trying to figure out the right distance from an object to get the clearest picture.  So stayed turned……

Great Blue Heron!

I find the Great Blue Heron a very mysterious creature as well as very stealthy! Always creeping around looking for something to eat. So sneaky! This is a picture off the Covert Cellular Camera! https://www.covertscoutingcameras.com This trail camera picture come right to my cell phone. Its nice to get real time action, but still be able to pull the SD card and get a clearer version.

So Cute!

This is an Indigo Bunting. I feel they are a rarity to my feeders, as I do not get many or see then often! Was able to get some nice pictures this morning!

Warbler at my bird feeder!

Some type of Warbler at my feeder for the 1st time.
Another angle of the warbler at my feeder, ever!

Spring Migration 2020 in the books. I got some type of warbler at my feeder. Not sure what kind and the pictures are not great. But I never had a warbler like this at my feeder and was pretty exciting.
