Should I give it a go for another year? Well, I’ll at least start and see how it goes. Starting in January of 2022 I began a monthly bird post that contains many of bird portraits I captured for each month of the year. (You can find blog posts at the bottom of each page.) I also have several bird galleries on my menu at the top of each page.
For 2022 I captured 1577 bird portraits.

If you haven\u2019t followed my bird journey the past few years, I\u2019ve taken over 3,400 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\u2019s songbirds I really love. (I also have hundreds of butterfly images) If you’d like to purchase any of my images, please use the contact form on any of my webpages to request more information.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I create mixed media items I will also post them here with details in the image description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
