Okay, it’s been mostly butterflies this month as bird activity has been very sloooow! Now carry on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t followed my bird photography journey the past few years, I\u2019ve taken over 6,000 bird portraits of 100+ species along with hundreds of butterflies. Most 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. If you\u2019d 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

Do all of my monthly snaps end up here? Oh my, no! That would take up too much time and space. But, I do hope to put up a representation of what I\u2019ve glassed each month.<\/strong>

Also check out the five bird galleries<\/strong> I have on my menu at the top of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a slow time of year for me for bird photography, but hopefully fall migration will bring some around. If I create mixed media items I will also post them here with details in the image description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
