The red-bellied woodpecker is called that because of a faint wash of reddish-pink on its lower belly, which is often hidden by feathers and hard to see from a distance.

The Eastern Phoebe is one of our most familiar eastern flycatchers. It's raspy “phoebe” call is a frequent sound around yards and farms in spring and summer.

The Carolina Wren is sensitive to cold weather. The gradually increasing winter temperatures over the last century may have been responsible for the northward range expansion seen in the mid-1900s.

All season I have been waiting for the butterflies to stop flitting by long enough for a photo. Finally, this Monarch Butterfly cooperated.

I saw my first black bears today at my lake house. This mom and her cubs looked big and healthy.

Three black bears at the lake. One mom and two big cubs.

I caught this Hummingbird resting. I love that all of the Hummingbirds I saw this summer have been so small. They are about 2 inches!
