I have gotten oddly attached to these Pine Warblers. There are four (I think) total, and they keep coming to the suet feeders on a daily basis. This makes me pretty happy. I’ve never seen warblers at feeders or suet before, for obvious reasons, but I had heard about some warblers eating suet on occasion. […]

Moths migrate too, sometimes.
I started getting a bit bored with a lack of things to photograph a little while ago because it was blah and gray outside, so I started taking my headlamp and my macro lens outside at night to see what I could find. Insect friends! The only one I can identify is the last one, […]
And now for something fairly gross.
I’ve been meaning to post these pictures for…months. I don’t generally get too grossed out by insects or the weird stuff they do, but I’m still haunted by whatever is happening in these photos. I wish I could offer some insight or educational information, but I can’t. Anyone? I assume it’s in the early early […]
Killdeer bath
Took a quick trip over to the coast to play and camp and take some photos yesterday. Checked out Sea Rim State Park and McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge, both on the northern Texas Coast. I had spent some time at McFaddin before, but not the state park. Only bad thing was driving through Port Arthur. […]
They’re everywhere!
I’ve been overstimulated with the yard birds lately. We actually got some gnarly rain recently and there have been some good warbler and sparrow flocks who have been pretty pumped about it. Some kind of bug is laying eggs on fenceposts right now and I’ve noticed the warblers are chowing down on the eggs all […]
Black-chinned Hummingbirds (II)
These Black-chinned hummingbirds are from this summer, since I’m a slacker. I finally figured out all it took was a a bit of patience to get hummingbird flight photos and gave myself one of those pats-on-the-back kind of things once I realized this. (Patience is not really my thing, which is a problem with bird […]
It’s all arachnid-y in here
I just realized I have a pretty hefty backlog of photographs from this spring and summer still, which is cool since two of my lenses aren’t really working right now and I’m not sure when I can get them fixed. So today you will have spiders. Snazzy spiders. They’re not gonna hurt you, don’t worry. […]
