Spring has Sprung!

Spring has arrived! time to get out there and take some bird pictures. If you are new to bird watching or photography, this is a great time of year to begin. Spring has many things to offer to take pictures of, all you have to do is look. This is a shot I took a few days ago, of an Eastern Bluebird.. The color of this bird really pops with taken right, and edited.. for those that have Facebook, I have a photography page that ya'll can like.. type in Photography by Whitney in the Facebook search bar.. this will bring up the page I created for my photography. Here you will get pictures that I post of birds and nature, bluegrass festivals, and odd things (like cowboy boots, old sewing stuff, etc.) so even if I don't post it on here, you will still get to see bird pictures on there. ~Whitney

Winter is almost over, we had our first snow of the year on Saturday.. we have had pretty decent weather, with temps in the 50's sometimes 60's throughout the day and 30's at night. The birds are very active, during the snow they were out there on the suet. This picture was taken while it was snowing, I bundled up in Camo, head band, gloves and boots and went to stand under a cedar tree out of the snow in our back yard.. the birds didn't even seem to see me there, then a red bellied woodpecker landed on the cedar trunk behind me. Would have made a great shot if I could have turned around without him seeing me, but he saw me.. I loaded some pictures that took during this year, hope you enjoy them!

Bald Eagles

My family and me took a little trip to NY this past week,to see some family members.. we had a great time.. anyways, to get down to the birdy business part; we were going by a lake to go eat, and as we were passing by this big long lake, I saw an Eagle! sitting eating a fish or something.. before that my mom saw a blue heron, stretching his wings.. then looked a little while after that and saw a Bald Eagle.. so amazing.. then that same day, we were coming by the same pond maybe before it or after it, and saw one flying overhead.. never in my life have I seen a bald eagle fly, or much less sit in a lake eating.. anyways, that's what I saw.. ~Whitney

Squirrel Yoga

There is nothing like sitting on the front porch, watching a little squirrel playing in the trees.. This is Tiny, if you haven't met her yet, she is one of our squirrels that we feed peanuts to.
