Here are some birds and butterflies I’ve glassed this month. (Bird activity afield is slow, but migration is beginning.) I’ve taken so many of the more common birds around here I probably won’t post many of them. You can check out my galleries and other months to see them. I’m going to try and focus on some of the not so common birds around me. Unless I get totally bored and need something to glass!

In August and September you’ll see a lot of butterflies as the flowers are in full bloom and the butterflies are preparing to migrate to Mexico. So if you like butterflies… And, if you don’t, well, thanks for stopping by anyway.

If you haven’t followed my bird journey the past few years, I’ve taken over 2,700 bird portraits of 100+ species. Many of them in my back yard and all within 15 miles of my home. And, over 95% of them are songbirds/passerines. I do have a few raptors, owls, and shorebirds. But it’s songbirds I really love. (I also have hundreds of butterfly images)

May 2024 Birds

I have thousands of images of birds native to my area in Missouri. So, I'll probably focus more on migration and summer residents. But, who knows... for now I hope you enjoy the thousands of bird, butterfly, and landscape images I posted.

Another chapter in the Witness of Creation

I shared on Friday the joy I had with our good friend Jeff Mason, who hosts a podcast. During the podcast Jeff allowed me to share my passion of photography and the Gospel. And, because time is limited on the podcast (along with attention spans!), I wanted to share a bit more encouragement with you.
