While staring up into a tree looking at the tawny frogmouth nest I’ve been watching for a while a stranger walking past told me about another group of them nearby. It’s not the first time this has happened, I’ve similarly bestowed knowledge of our tawny friends on others I’ve met while bird watching. Loving these birds is like participating in the world’s most delightful and cooperative treasure hunt

My artwork is inspired by visits to Monterey. It's always nice and peaceful to watch the shorebirds.

I was starting to wonder if I was imagining one of the nearby Tawny Frogmouths could be nesting given it’s quite late in the baby season (the other tawny families around here fledged a month ago) and I wasn’t seeing much change at the nest. Going out in the super hot weather to check was rewarded. I was delighted to meet new local muppets!

A beautiful encounter during a recent photo tour on Vancouver Island.

It's a photo that I had imagined for years: an owl on a mossy branch.

This lovely red-tailed hawk used to be a regular denizen of the fire escape across the street, but for the last year or so, the crows have been holding the territory. It popped in the other day, and sat still in this lovely sunbeam.
