Got a view of the lunar eclipse as it started but the stupid clouds came in and I didn't get to see totality. #lunar #eclipse #LunarEclipse

I feel like every life decision I have ever made is being judged in this moment... #grackle #camerafeeders #birds

I love this shot I got of a Canada Goose with the Great Blue Heron in the background. The Heron looks unimpressed by the wing display. #BirdOfTheDay #Goose/orGeese #bird #birds

We claim this island for the House Finches! #bird #birds

While monitoring the Bluebird nest in anticipation of their imminent fledging, I observed a female Summer Tanager perched nearby. Sightings of this species in my yard are exceedingly uncommon; in fact, this marks only the second instance I have recorded in nearly a decade. #bird #birds

Day three (hopefully the grand finale) of Bluebird nest watch. Yesterday brought a flurry of first flights: one chick stumbled with a bit of drama, while the second soared out like it had rehearsed for weeks. Two little ones remain tucked in the box. #bird #birds

I've been on Bluebird nest watch since early this morning. I thought a few times at least one was about to leave, but I guess having your meals delivered is too much of a luxury to want to give up. #bird #birds

While I leisurely sip coffee, Momma Bluebird is on the hunt for breakfast for her little ones. #bird #birds

The Eastern Bluebird chicks are about a week old now and have just about another week until they fledge. #birds

Is this my best side? #birds

We (and by we I mean the Bluebirds) have babies!!!!!! #birds

There’s a quiet monotony in sitting day after day in a sweltering nesting box, shaping the future one tiny egg at a time. #birds

The first Bluebird egg of the 2nd brood of the season. #birds

Very excited to have received my Bird Spot sign! This year I am participating the Gardening for Birds Project. Visit www.birdcount.org/garden-for-b... for more information. #birds

Today has been quite busy at the Robin nest! We were watching the chicks being fed when one slipped off the gutter and inadvertently took its first flight. I was a little concerned and stopped taking photos, but it managed to land in a cluster of leaves and branches. #birds

Stately sash, he just needs a top hat.

I just love a camera feeder for so many reasons! #birds

Occasionally I leave my backyard to do a little birding and last year I was able to sit and watch a Canadian Goose and her little Goslings. Never falls to make me smile. #birds
