Even the juvenile great horned owls are equipped with massive talons. This little one was watching us from a pine tree at Honeymoon Island State Park many years ago.

A little help identifying this bird? Photo taken in the Smokey Mountains, east Tennessee. Is this a Louisiana waterthrush? It was hunting near a creek.

Believe this is a juvenile green heron having breakfast. I call it "A Bad Day for Kermit" Taken at Murfree Springs wetlands area, Murfreesboro Tn.

Taking a step away from the abyss to do a mind-cleanse by photographing songbirds on icy maple limbs. We might all end up sharing concentration camp stories of our happy birding days, so let's get them while we can.

As democracy swirls down the drain, I have to find mental health distractions. A yellow bellied sapsucker landed on one of our suet feeders, and that was a therapeutic, momentary break from current events.

A yellow-rumped warbler is #Walking, or skating, on a frozen ditch after a cold spring night.

The ONLY part of this impending ice storm I'm looking forward to is getting a chance take a few shots like this one from our last ice event here in middle TN.

My dad fed birds throughout my entire childhood, a dozen feeders in our front yard. I never understood it. Then I got into photography, and discovered I had learned quite a bit about bird behavior from the man. He would've been proud of some of my pix!

Bald eagle at Honeymoon Island State Park in Floriduh. My sister had taken my wife and I to this park during a visit, and had loaned me a beat up Canon 30D as my first digital camera for the trip. I've upgraded half a dozen times, since.

How embarrassing!
This yellow crowned night heron was casually walking down the handrail at Murfree Springs wetlands, being way too cool, when one of his feet slipped off the rail. What followed was hilarious...

Found an old vine in the woods, stained it and tied it to a shepherd's pole above a mealworm feeder for a bluebird prop. Birds and Blooms Magazine published this one several years ago, and it's still one of my favorite shots.

Stepping away from the abyss to look at photos from my archives. This male bluebird was posing on a prop I had fastened to a shepherd's pole outside my office window. Birds and Blooms magazine published it a while back.

This is a green heron.
I’ve only seen this bird once at the park but it was fascinating to watch - and small! I was used to herons being tall and lanky.

Stepping away from the abyss to look at photos from my archives... stumbled across this shot of a little green heron dropping down to a lower limb over the Murfree Springs wetlands in Murfreesboro, Tn. Love herons!

Wood ducks use almost every hue in the artist's toolbox. This one was taken along the Stones River, Murfreesboro, Tn.

Mallard Fillmore coming in for a landing at the Murphy Springs wetlands in Murfreesboro, Tn. I like the bokeh behind this in-flight capture.
