Bird Sighting: Rose-breasted Grosbeak
There is no excitement around here quite like my boys being vindicated in their claims that they saw a new bird on the feeder that we had never spotted before. They saw it this morning, and it came back after school. We give you a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

Feeder Visitors – Nuthatches and Finches
It has been awhile since I’ve posted pictures of birds at the feeder. Until January’s ice storm, I’d actually forgotten to put out food.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I feel like a poser when it comes to selling prints for the first time. In fact, I’m squeamish to even say, “I’m selling photography.” Truth is, I know plenty of AMAZING photographers, and I certainly wouldn’t even claim to be a photographer.
