Yep, it’s true. I’m so used to seeing the smaller songbirds in my backyard blind that I got startled by a Robin! This is my first Robbin of the season and I wasn’t used to seeing them. Needless to say I missed that shot…so what else is new.
Saw this poor White-crowned Sparrow with an apparent broken or injured leg. He seems to be well-fed for now, so hopefully he’ll survive.
My backyard pond is working out great!!
Got a Dark-eyed Junco as the sun went down.
I post all of my new nature pictures, random thoughts, and even my family pictures here. Some of those pictures never get posted to my online nature gallery. So I encourage you to subscribe to my blog with updates and new pictures via e-mail. If you would like to purchase a photo from my blog, feel free to contact me.

You should publish a book called “Mike’s Backyard Birds.”
Your work amazes me.
Thanks Patti. I may consider doing something like that.
I agree with Patti. I’d definately buy a copy! Your photos are incredible!
