If you haven\u2019t followed my bird photography journey the past few years, I\u2019ve taken over 7,000 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. Check out my past monthly posts which are located at the bottom of each page. Also check out the five bird galleries<\/strong> I have on my menu at the top of the page.

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>

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

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
