Posted on May 3, 2023

Spring flowers from my garden. Experimenting with my new iPhone 14 Pro Max’s Portrait mode. It’s really great except in this mode it does now shoot in raw.

This tulip plant is growing in my yard. Their blossoms are beautiful but last too short a period of time.

Feeding Time

Posted on June 7, 2022

Song Sparrow feeding a fledgling.
The song sparrow parent is feeding a fledgling while the other seems to patiently wait. This family has been landing in my window feeder. One of the fledglings appears to be learning how to eat on its own. Maybe the parent will finally have some peace, and quiet.

Posted on June 6, 2022

This song sparrow family landed outside my kitchen window. The two fledgling siblings seem to be arguing about who gets fed by their parent. The difficulty is that one fledgling is standing on the parent’s back. Santa Rosa, CA

Catching Itself After Falling

Posted on May 27, 2022

A fledging snowy egret catches itself after a fall.
This fledgling snowy egret was trying to fly from branch to branch when I saw it fall. It successfully grabbed long stringy branches that hang down from the eucalyptus tree where they nest. It slowly made its way up to higher branches. I photographed this bird at the W. 9th St. rookery in Santa Rosa, CA.
