As I reach the half century milestone on this planet, I'd like to look back at a milestone I reached this last year. I've now spent over half of my life with my wife and can't imagine life without her by my side.

I spent the late afternoon chasing this Barred Owl around the neighborhood after I saw it chasing away a Red Tailed Hawk that it didn't like having around.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NestBuilders! This is a Great Blue Heron that I captured in spring while it was bringing back nest building material.

This is one of the Stripe-throated Hermit #hummingbirds that lives in the forest near my office. It comes out regularly to enjoy some nectar and then zips back into the dark.

Just watched a coyote being chased by a deer in my yard. That coyote was running FAST to get away from that deer! Fear the deer!

Our biggest buck made an appearance today and his limp was noticeably better. Still limps downhill, but was moving much better on flat land.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is all about #Borbs. Here's a Dark Eyed Junco all fluffed out from last winter.

Already thinking of spring when I can see Great Blue Herons fortifying their nests in one of our local rookeries.

Well, that was a pretty incredible experience. My first time seeing a Long-Eared Owl.
