Male House Finch In An Arkansas Snowstorm

I still have a few more images to share from the recent snowstorm here in Arkansas, including these female and male Northern Cardinal photos in the snow.
Today, I'm sharing two very different winter Common Grackle images. One photo was taken on a snowy, foggy morning, and the other on a bright, sunny afternoon.
This morning's share is pretty simple: a handsome male Pine Warbler came in after the snowstorm here in Arkansas. I couldn’t resist taking snowy photos of him.
On my first visit to Oklahoma's Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, I saw and photographed quite a few White-tailed Deer, including this buck.
The largest mammals I saw at the Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Oklahoma were herds upon herds of American Bison. There were so many bison!
This morning, I'm sharing photos of an adult male Downy Woodpecker on a gravel road at Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Osage County, Oklahoma.
This morning, I'm sharing images of a male Northern Cardinal taken in the same oak tree here in Arkansas during different seasons: spring and winter.
When I photographed this Fox Squirrel last week, I liked that he was standing up in nice light. Later, when I viewed the image on my laptop, I had to laugh.
There is no snow in the forecast, but that won't prevent me from sharing winter Slate-colored Dark-eyed Junco images, which are also known as snow birds.
I'm sharing three photos of a male Red-bellied Woodpecker that I took yesterday on the Winter Solstice, which also marks the first day of astronomical winter.
Today, I'm sharing an image of a male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker on a pear tree that I photographed three days ago here in Arkansas. This isn't a lifer bird for me.
There is no way to deny that this is a crap shot of a Storm Wigeon. This awful photo was taken at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma last week.
Some areas of Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge were very ducky yesterday. These hen and drake Northern Shovelers were among the dabbling ducks I found.
I simply can't resist photographing bluebirds when I see them, and this male Eastern Bluebird I had in my viewfinder yesterday was certainly no exception.
Earlier this week, I was happy when I took my first acceptable images of a male Pileated Woodpecker in a tree at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.
I meant to share this Red-winged Blackbird video clip earlier, but I hadn’t gotten around to merging the two videos and processing them until last night.
Autumn brings a warm glow to Arkansas, and this Eastern Bluebird on driftwood is a perfect reminder of the season’s gentle transformation.
Yesterday, I took images of several bird species with fall colors in the background—or at least as much fall color as I'm likely to see here this year.
As the Monarch butterflies made their way through Arkansas at the end of September, I had the chance to take a couple of photos that really show off the unique features between the males and females.
I had an excellent adventure yesterday morning with Steve Creek and his dog, Rosie, photographing the Elk at Buffalo National River in Boxley Valley, Arkansas.
If I hadn’t been focused on photographing insects two days ago, I wouldn’t be able to share these photos of female and male Eastern Carpenter Bees.
On the same day I photographed the young Northern Mockingbird I shared yesterday, I also had a striking male Eastern Bluebird in my viewfinder for a little bit.
It has been quite the spring and summer for me. Part of the reason is seeing three broods of bluebirds. This hatch-year Eastern Bluebird might be one of them.
I was focused on a bathing robin when, with my wandering eyes, I spotted a Northern Parula perched next to the bird bath yesterday. I was thoroughly delighted.
During a light rainstorm yesterday, I sat outside and photographed a young male Ruby-throated Hummingbird dodging raindrops. He sure seemed to enjoy the rain.
I'm really very excited to share photos and a video clip of a young male Ruby-throated Hummingbird that I focused on for quite some time yesterday morning.

Two days ago, I was happy to photograph an adult male Ruby-throated Hummingbird chirping. The male was reacting to another hummingbird near 'his' feeder.
