Last spring, I took this young Tufted Titmouse photo in the yard of my dear friend, Steve Creek<\/span><\/a>, while I was at his home resting and recuperating in Arkansas.<\/p>\n

\"YoungYoung Tufted Titmouse in spring \u2013 Canon R7, f8, 1\/2000, ISO 800, Canon RF 100-500 mm at 472m, natural light, at a feeder<\/span><\/p>\n

I should be there photographing Tufted Titmice or the other birds of Arkansas today or tomorrow. Or maybe those of the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge.<\/p>\n

I’m on a journey of sorts and I am stopping by Steve’s house for a bit again this year. We had so much fun last spring and I’m certain we will have as much, if not more fun, this year.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to photographing all kinds of birds. Hopefully I will photograph some species I missed last spring. I dipped on Pileated Woodpeckers, missed out on Painted Buntings, and didn’t get the images I wanted of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers or Prothonotary Warblers. And more…<\/p>\n

With both our sharp eyes and keen spotting abilities, I am certain we’ll find all kinds of wonderful birds and animals to photograph. We don’t miss much in the field!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
