    It had been recently raining when this Florida Red-shouldered Hawk flew to this perch. He had not completely dried yet as he started scanning the area of dinner. I think he knew lots of wildlife, both predators and prey, come out after a rain to catch up on eating.

    I love the Sparrows that winter brings to TN, but admit a constant sea of brown leaves me wanting. That's when I think ahead to warmer days when birds like this Prothonotary Warbler will fill add their call to the chorus, and the trees will once again be dotted with color.

    Last month it was cold and windy enough to keep me inside, but clearing skies and a little sunshine lured me out. There didn't seem to be many birds stirring until I settled into a spot and waited. Eventually, this Eastern Bluebird made the rounds, and I got this shot.

    I really appreciate all of the kind comments I've received on my new book. I was concerned about how long it took, but not rushing it made it that much better, and not releasing it until I was proud of every page is now very satisfying. 😊Send me a direct message to order a copy.

    I've seen more Red-breasted Nuthatches than I've been able to photograph because they seem to move continuously. They are migrants in TN and rarely seen. I found this male in WY during my travels out west. They're fun to watch but challenging to photograph.

    This Killdeer (Plover) was running along the ground in front of me in short bursts and calling as usual. I moved as little as possible while I readied my camera, and luckily he didn't take off. I captured this image as he paused between running sprees.

    I watched from the edge of a field of tall grass, dotted with stone outcroppings. A couple of Black-billed Magpies flew from one rock to another, occasionally scaring up insects before moving on. Suddenly another Magpie flew from somewhere behind me and landed nearby.

    I scaled down a steep rock wall and set up to photograph another bird when this Northern Waterthrush complained about my presence. I didn't want to stress the Waterthrush, but let him fuss a minute. After I got back up the wall, I turned and got this distant parting shot.

    As I walked across a one-lane wooden bridge, I saw this Cedar Waxwing dipping down towards the water for flying insects. He always returned to this perch. As I got closer, he didn't fly away, so I stopped and got a few distant shots before moving on.

    With late afternoon sunlight filtered through a thinning overcast sky and plain background, this Northern Mockingbird almost became a work in black and white. He was initially perched on a distant brush pile but flew to this fence, and that's when I got this shot.

    I found this Eastern Phoebe when I would typically have called it a day. It had been overcast, and I hadn't gotten much that day. Then as the sunset, it peeked below the clouds and warmed the otherwise cool scene in a little last-minute warm light.

    I like Vireos and look for them everywhere I go. This Red-eyed Vireo is common in much of the eastern and northern US, but I only see one or two a year. They seem to blend into the canopy, but I caught this one on a lower limb and was able to get this shot.

    I got a couple of birds and was about to start rambling around when this female Black-chinned Hummingbird started working a nearby bush. I assumed she would fly away before I could get a shot, but she perched briefly before moving away. It was all over in seconds.

    Occasionally, I do startle a bird. It's always unintentional, but so many things can do it, camera movement, etc. I think that happened with this Hermit Thrush. It was foraging on the ground and suddenly jumped up on this low branch, but didn't fly away.

    I saw this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in early fall foliage, but he preferred to be on the opposite side of the tree. After a couple of steps, I realized trying to keep up with him wouldn't work, so I just waited. He eventually came back into view again a little further up.

    The Rock Wren is a western bird I enjoy watching and photographing. It has several characteristics of other wrens so you can tell pretty quickly that it's a wren. I caught this one in the direct light of a sunset, but have noticed this bird looks gray when backlit.

    I discovered the Green-tailed Towhee last year in the desert southwest. Sometimes I would get brief glimpses of it, but not photos. When I could manage a shot, it was usually in the densest part of the bush with deep shadows. I really hope to get back and try again.

    Not wanting to spook this female Golden-fronted Woodpecker, I leaned as far left as I could to get this shot before she climbed out of sight. Her front is plain white, so I really like this side/back view, which I think is much more interesting than a frontal pose.

    This Barred Owl was so still and quiet, I almost missed it. I would have preferred a more interesting sky, but it was overcast, and the setting sun was invisible behind the clouds. Still, I felt fortunate to catch him with his powerful claws clearly visible.

    It was heavily overcast as I drove around, seeing only birds out of range. I decided to stop and wait. After a while, this Orange-crowned Warbler worked its way through low branches, briefly stopping in front of me. There's nothing like a warbler to brighten the day.
