This sweet little bird was intent on eating the thistle in my feeder this morning. She was braver than all the tufted titmouse and chickadee birds and I was able to stand quite close to her to get this shot.

Bluebirds in Spring (For Sale)

Tracey Tilson Photography (TraceyTilson) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:28:31 -0700

Eastern Bluebirds stay in North Carolina year-round and usually begin searching for nesting sites in late February or early March. So it’s best to put up new boxes by January or early February. Days or weeks may pass before the male and female begin collecting grasses or pine straw to build a nest, usually in April. They typically build a nest in five or six days. The female begins laying eggs four or five days later. She lays one light blue (or rarely white) egg each day until the clutch is completed, then begins incubating them. The young hatch in about 17 to 18 days and spend another two weeks in the nest. Bonded pairs can raise three broods each season—the first brood averages five young, the second brood four and the last one three, though as many as six may comprise a brood. The breeding season lasts until early September.

Praying for a Good Lunch (For Sale)

Tracey Tilson Photography (TraceyTilson) — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 06:29:54 -0700

A praying mantis (I think they should be called 'preying' mantises) waits patiently on a vibrant flower hoping "lunch" will arrive soon. I think these are one of the most interesting insects to watch.

Damn Rain !!! (For Sale)

I had a bit of fun today in Photoshop. I photographed this waterbird, a "Little Green Heron" last summer and decided to do a few changes to it........ hope you enjoy. (Forgive me for the cuss word in the title... it just seemed like the appropriate thing the bird might be saying)
