Eastern Bluebirds. 💙

We have had at least 3 pairs of bluebirds nesting in boxes around our yard this spring. I love watching the parents take turns guarding their nest and then take turns bringing food back to their babies once they’ve hatched. I haven’t seen many fledglings appear, so I just have to hope that they made it and went to safe places. The closer you get to nature, the more you see how wild it really is. But it’s also so incredibly beautiful, especially when you take time to notice the little things.

I’ve always wanted to see an owl in the wild, especially while I had my camera ready. I was focused on tracking a songbird and must have unknowingly startled this beauty when it flew across right in front of me and landed within my view. It blended in with the trees so well that I never would have known it was there if it didn’t fly in front of me. Definitely an exciting addition to my bird list! 🦉❤️

Snowflakes. ❄️

I am completely amazed by the intricate details in each individual tiny snowflake. I’ve waited a long time for another chance at capturing these beauties, and today’s snowfall was just what I hoped for. 🩵

Purple Finch.

These are pretty rare, and I’ve only seen them at my house twice (last winter was the first time). I’m always studying the House Finches to make sure they aren’t actually one of these guys, and I was surprised when I spotted this one earlier this week (& extra excited when he posed for some photos)! ❤️
