Bird Photography

It was quite warm again today and no hardship to have the window open overlooking the bird feeders. It took a good while because the Sunday morning Hawk must have been around to keep them away. It's usually the case. Eventually they did show up though I never got a decent shot of the Chickadee's.

Amber needs a good brush

My little Amber was sitting getting a bit of sunshine.

Ricketts Glen

An image from mid October at Ricketts Glen State Park. I'd love to go up there to see the waterfalls all iced over but it would be way too dangerous. It's treacherous enough in dry conditions let alone ice. Niagara Falls is another thing, that would be nice to see when it's frozen.

Bluey Asleep

As I've mentioned before, Bluey is a Siamese variant, Flame Point apparently but as he turned up in our yard without a passport who knows. Anyway, he has the flickery beautiful blue eyes of a Siamese and best of all the talkativeness of a Siamese. Except at 2am in the morning. He was obviously hungry and desperately needed Fancy Feast to keep him going until breakfast. Outside the bedroom door, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow ( you get the idea) We ignored him for 1/2 an hour but he carried on, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, scratch, scratch, scratch, meow, meow, meow meow. Guess who had to get up to feed him? Heres a picture of the little darling asleep on one of the cat trees. I didn't wake him up honestly.

Very shallow depth of field picture of Bluey.

In the not so bleak midwinter

It's been downright warm recently, t-shirt weather in fact. I saw 73f the other day and the birds are singing in the morning. Heres a picture from this afternoon without snow!

Not so bleak midwinter.

Pinacle Cove or Monument Cove

I was doing a bit of surfing and came across website where someone was selling (or trying to sell) pretty much this same image for over a $1000. Damn! Nice if you can get it.

This is either called Monument Cove or Pinacle Cove or Rock as the case might be. It's just along the Acadia Park Loop Road from Thunder Hole.

Afternoon at Willow Point

This afternoon we had a stroll out to Willow Point in the bright Winter sunshine. We saw quite a few birds along the way, 4 Bald Eagle's, a Northern Harrier, Tundra Swans, Mergansers. Bluebirds and Tree Sparrows. No Snow Geese yet but it won't be long.
