“ 19. I don’t weigh THAT much! – 52Frames_details ”
At a bird banding station this morning this little guy watches as his measurements are recorded. He was a repeat visitor, having been banded in a different year. He managed to escape from the weight measurement tube before a reading could be made for that information. #birdbanding #repeatvisitor #chickadee #records…
“ 17, Home Improvements – 52Frames_one light source ”
Weather wasn’t great for our trip to Magee Marsh this weekend. The cloudy skies made a nice diffuser though. This Red Belly woodpecker, still ruffled from the rain, decided to spend some time working on his house. It may have been feeding young, but it seemed more like cleaning out…
“ 7. Picking Pollen – 52Frames-chair ”

Spring at Conkle’s Hollow State Nature Preserve – 52 project 18
On April 19th I took a hike in the gorge at Conkle’s Hollow. Even though there were quite a few people there, this park still offers a bit of solitude. Several species of spring flowers were at peak.

A collection of some of my Spring wildflower shots over the years.
Spring has Sprung-52 Week Project-13
Signs of spring. Well maybe not too many would think a flock of turkey vultures was a sign of spring, but these birds were migrating through our yard and spent a couple of days here waiting for the weather to improve. Shortly after the early flowers started to bloom.
Week Eight 2017 52 Project: Camp Oty’Okwa
This weekend I had training at Camp Oty’Okwa. It was a fun weekend with a great bunch of people wanting to learn how to share nature with children. The camp is beautiful. While most of the camp is private property, parts of it are available for public use if you want…
