The sunsets on Dauphin Island were beautiful! As you can see, the tide pools turned gold in the light of the setting sun.

A Pair of House Finches eating black-oil sunflower seed on April 2
A Baltimore Oriole adult feeding on of its young at the jelly feeder in our backyard. We get quite a few Orioles at our feeder every summer. This year, the first ones showed up around April 25th, the last one spotted was around September 5th. It’s sort of neat to see the adults come with juveniles in tow to feed them. It takes a while for the juveniles to learn how to use the feeder on their own. It’s interesting to watch. Eventually they figure it out!

Rare Leucistic Chipping Sparrow at my feeder. It comes every day with the other Chipping Sparrows.

This Royal Tern was fluffing its feathers
These are images of a poor little Ruddy Turnstone that was missing one foot. It was walking with a slight limp, but otherwise was acting normal.
I caught a video of a brown pelican preening and yawning. Every single time I began recording, this pelican would turn away, which I found quite funny.

Mourning Dove on a snowy day. 12-17-22. The hawk was back again this morning just before daylight perched in the maple tree.
I have been looking for the house finches. As soon as this one appeared…so did the hawk! I’m sure the hawk was eyeing this pretty boy for a meal. I missed the shot! Looks like the hot tub is a hit.
My husband and I purchased and put up this Screech Owl box in our yard, and in a few days, I noticed this Eastern Screech Owl peering out of it. I am hoping it decides to nest here once it finds a mate
This Eastern Screech Owl graced my yard and owl box with its presence for a couple of weeks. I am hoping it will be back when it’s time to nest. Fingers crossed!
Decided to try a de-icer this winter. So far everyone seems to like it.
These wrens checked out our huts for them! One sleeps in the hut every night. All of these photos were taken using motion activated Blink Mini cameras.
