I have another mishmash of my local bird pics, paintings, and videos. If you are so inclined, pick out the bird that laid these eggs. I hope it’s fun guessing, and good luck if you don’t already know the answer.

As summer wanes in New York’s Finger Lakes, crows descend on the fields, hunting insects and a treat, corn on the cob.

They return north as soon as the ice melts, usually by this time of year in March. I filmed this last summer and have yet to see him this year. Herons feed during both day and night and eat fish, snakes, frogs, crustaceans, birds, small mammals, and insects.

Wishing everyone a happy and pleasant Valentine's Day. I'm hoping this video will put a smile on your face. Scenes from my backyard, taken last summer. Remember the turtle float, blow boat?

Where's The Water!?

Breakfast Food

Food for color of change! I trim my Holly bushes in December, but I try to leave the Holly berries for the birds. The Male Cardinal who ingests the most red berries will end up with the brightest red feathers come spring. Then he'll go a courtin'. The female Cardinals prefer the bright red plumage!

Also know as a Mud Hen, enjoying lunch behind the break wall.

A gorgeous afternoon on the lake in December, teeming with life.

The coyote lurked along the side of the pond eyeing the geese and their goslings, but they had seen the coyote and knew the danger. The struggle for survival begins. Who will emerge victorious?
