Big News!

I am happy to announce that my new photo journal/coffee table book, The Joy of Birds, is now available! It was a great journey to create this project! I learned so much. From birding to photography and design, to publishing, it was a phenomenal experience. I am excited to be able to share it with all of you! If you're local and would like a copy, let me know, and I will set one aside for you to pick up. If you're out of town, you can order directly here: https://www.lulu.com/.../paperback/product-qrzk47.html... They are $35 Many thanks! Beau

A Few Great Mornings

Have you ever seen this bird? This is a Golden-Crowned Kinglet, a small, hyperactive songbird of the chilly conifer forests. They breed in Canada, and they migrate to most of the U.S. for the winter. At 3.5 inches in length, they are one of the smallest birds we get here in Michigan. The tiny Golden-crowned Kinglet is also much hardier than it looks, routinely wintering in areas where nighttime temperatures can fall below –40° Fahrenheit ! A few days ago I was out shooting in Meridian Park in Mount Pleasant, and I was looking for the striking Golden-Crowned Kinglet. Walking down the trail beside the river, I listened for the sharp high-pitched call. Sometime later, I heard a few calling in a tree beside the path. I spotted the bright, flame-orange crown of one of the birds, and I approached them slowly. It was pretty dark deep in the woods, so I didn't get the greatest picture, but it was a cool experience to see the beautiful songbirds....

An Interesting Pedestrian

Today I had a pretty cool experience. I was riding my bike through a parking lot on my way to Mill Pond Park, and I noticed a bird in a parking spot beside me. I looked and it was a Coopers Hawk! I stopped and checked it out, I wondered if it was injured or something, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. It casually flew off after a bit, acting completely normal... A very good-looking hawk!
