Rust-Crowned Sentinel

Every time I spot a chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina), its subtle earth-toned plumage and rust-colored cap remind me of military camouflage—giving these little birds an unexpectedly rugged appearance. During the winter and early spring, they seemed to be everywhere, their numbers in the hundreds. Now, only a handful remain, occasionally seen foraging on the ground. I read that their diet shifts with the seasons, transitioning from seeds in the colder months to insects in the warmth of spring and summer.

If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection. Feel free to explore!

Blue Jay’s Feathered Ballet

This image first struck me as reminiscent of a rooster greeting the morning with a triumphant call. The blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) appears to be landing amid the grass, possibly in search of food. More likely, however, its sharp gaze has already locked onto something of interest, and it is preparing to snatch its prize before swiftly taking flight once more.

If you're enchanted by images of blue jays and other captivating corvids, dive into my photo gallery for a visual treat! Take a peek:

Good morning. ☕💮🪀

17 June 2025

My mornings are cherished moments—just sitting here in my office, enjoying the quiet, sharing a photo, and writing to you. Of course, Charlie is usually here, offering his own brand of "help," especially when it’s close to mealtime. And right now, it most certainly is.

Did you know the Whee-Lo and the Slinky are still around? Hmmm... 🤔 I suppose that makes them timeless toys for kids of all ages. 😆 I had both over 60 years ago, though in hindsight, they weren’t all that exciting. The Whee-Lo had just one trick, and that novelty wore off fast. As for the Slinky, I tried to get it to walk down the stairs like in the commercial, but unless the steps were the perfect size, the magic never quite happened. Still, I have to admit—I liked them well enough as a kid.

Raptor’s Vigil

Charlie and I took a new route for this morning’s walk. My planned path was blocked, so we pivoted north instead of south. Near the turnaround point, I spotted two red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), each perched in a different tree to the southeast. Unfortunately, getting closer wasn’t an option—some areas were fenced off, while others were thick with tall brush. Wearing shorts, I wasn’t about to wade through grass and foliage.

Good morning. 💮📸😑

16 June 2025

I ordered a new camera and lens from Canon USA a week ago. In hindsight, I probably should have gone with Amazon or B&H Photo—if I had, I’d already be testing the camera by now. But Canon hasn’t even shipped the items yet. Sure, they offer free 3–7-day shipping, but that only starts after the parcels actually leave their warehouse. I’ll probably call them today, though I suppose patience is a virtue. In the meantime, I’ll just close my eyes and chant Om Mani Padme Hum. It’s not like I don’t already have four other cameras. Patience, Padawan.

I ordered a Canon R5 and an RF200-800mm lens. I’ve been considering it for a while, and I finally decided—why not? You only live once. Well… 🤔 I didn’t actually decide that. That’s just how things are.
