This Northern Cardinal male posed regally on a branch just long enough for me to capture this shot. A beautiful songbird, the cardinal is non-migratory and graces my garden year round.

This Eastern bluebird female was in a frenzy in the treetops. A male sparrow had invaded her nest and she was beside herself as she helped her mate try to oust it from their territory. With lots of wing action, scolding and squawking, and divebombing, they were putting up a heck of a fight for the little nest so skillfully constructed from pine straw. There aren’t any eggs yet; hopefully the scuffle will be resolved and the sparrow will find a place to lodge under the M at McDonald’s or the A at Arby’s where he can fare just fine! P.S. Please view this photo in larger mode so you can better appreciate the delicate little balancing act as this female is standing on one leg, the other retracted and ready for flight as she divebombs the menacing sparrow!

This Northern Cardinal was playing peek-a-boo in the rose bushes at Mama’s house. He sits on the thorny branches between trips to the feeders Mama and Daddy keep well-stocked with black oil sunflower seeds. Spring is a glorious time with lots of brightly colored birds busy about the business of being fruitful and multiplying!

Eye has not seen nor ear heard what God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 This male painted bunting is a wonder of creation, a gift God has prepared for our edification and enjoyment!

This little beauty is called Hutton’s Vireo, a small bird that inhabits southwestern British Columbia and the northwestcoast of the United States. I found this one at the Oyster Bay Regional Park near Campbell River on Vancouver Island. The image was captured with my D300 and Nikkor 600 mm F/4 lens mounted on a Gitzo 1325 tripod.

Small birds like this chickadee feasted on flying termites during my photo trip to the Oyster Bay Regional Park in early September. This bird is holding her catch in her right claw, and enjoying her meal. Image captured on a Nikon D300, Nikkor 600 f/4 mm lens, 1/320, F7.1, ISO 400, cropped and processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.0.

Winter has been brutal so far on the south west coast of Canada. This tiny bird, a female kinglet just 10 cms ( 3 inches) in length, is surviving winter by feeding on seeds and fruits left over from the Fall. She is protected from raptors in the brambles and thorns of this beach grove. When I made this capture, it was raining heavily. Nikon D300, Nikkor f4 600 mm lens, ISO 500, f4, 1/400s

The Blue-grey Tanager, Thraupis episcopus, is a medium-sized South American songbird of the Tanager family, Thraupidae. The breeding habitat is open woodland, cultivated areas and gardens. The Blue-grey Tanager lives mainly on fruit, but will also take some nectar and insects. This is a common, restless, noisy and confiding species, usually found in pairs, but sometimes small groups. / This one was taken near Ibagué in the state of Tolima, Colombia /

I was close, but not this close. The image had enough detail for me to crop so I could reveal this beautiful songbird’s head. I love the colours, and detail in the feathers. Spring is so wonderful! Image captured at Somenos Marsh in Duncan, British Columbia, using a Nikon D300, Nikkor f4 600 mm lens, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/500s.

Do you ever wonder if a bird is singing just for you? Or wonder about the “words” to their song? I do. In the Silk Warbler series, I combined my love of textiles and adoration of song birds. Here the blue is deep, gray, and powerful at the top. Color and texture has been painted in to create the look of luxurious silk, with light reflecting from its natural slubs. I hope you enjoy the magic of this beautiful warbler and hear his song. This is Full bleed, meant for Canvas and Poster.

Here is another photo from my rejects folders filled with nondescript, bland images that had no zing to them. Since I’ve been experimenting with textures, I’ve found that those photos can be rejuvenated into something quite different. I named this Carolina chickadee Contemplation because it reminds me of someone deep in thought, rapt in prayer.

This is the same image as one I uploaded earlier, but I put a different twist on it, making it look more like a vintage greeting card. P.S. My grandson is visiting with me from out of state, so I don’t have much time to comment on your images; please excuse my absence and thanks to everyone who keeps responding to my images. I appreciate your kindness and support.

This poor old cardinal has lost his ability to fly and I’m afraid his days are numbered. He hops around the feeders eating the castaway seeds on the ground and depends on puddles for water. I put some water at ground level for him and toss seeds near him when I notice his presence. He allowed me to get close enough to take this shot with my macro lens, sure proof that he doesn’t have much fight or flight left in him. Still, he is beautiful as his life winds down.

I was sitting in my blind near this branch when a tufted titmouse landed on it and looked inquisitively at my hideout as though to say, “You can’t fool me; I know you’re in there!”
-
This tufted titmouse stared curiously in my direction before flitting away nervously which gave me the extra split second I needed to click a few frames of him. I’ve embellished the background with added layers and textures to increase color and depth. Hope you like it.

a brilliant male cardinal survey the feeding area before coming in to feed. Provide perhes around your feeder to make them more attractive to birds. They like to check the area for cats, dogs, or other predators or sources of danger before coming in.

It was a dark, overcast day, so I decided to put my external flash on the camera, and try some fiill flash shots. I like the way it illuminates this lovely female cardinal, it really enhances her golden orange plumage. Within time, her beak will turn a bright orange. The females coloration becomes much more vibrant in the fall and winter. I really feel that the female is just as, if not more, photogenic than the male.

Songbirds and frogs share a pathological role in our environmentally challenged world. They are both in drastic decline. The annual songbird count in North America has shown reduced numbers for many years. This sparrow was photographed during a bald eagle shoot. Ironically, bald eagle numbers are increasing on the southwest coast of British Columbia, while numbers of songbirds are dropping. This bird was feeding in autumn blackberries, on his winter migration. The image was captured on the Fraser River estuary in Canada using a Nikon D700 and Nikkor f4 600 mm lens at ISO 800, -0.67 EV, f8, 1/800s.

this is the last of my series of male cardinals enjoying the winter sun. I still am enthralled in how wonderful they look in a pine tree covered with snow, very Christmasy looking.

I was sitting near the bluebird house, hoping for a visit from the bluebirds, when to my surprise, this gorgeous male northern cardinal stops by for a visit. He sat long enough for me to snap several shot. This shot was actually taken in the summer. It is my frist attempt at manufacturing snow in photoshop. What do you think?

Taken in my backyard. The tufted titmouse is a slate gray bird with a white chest and belly with a pointed crest. Flanks are washed with rusty brown. Gray legs and dark eyes. The female lines old woodpecker holes and has two broods per year, laying 5-7 eggs, white with brown markings. /
