Yesterday while looking for hawks and other birds in a field in Loudoun County Virginia, I happened to see a "clump of snow" slowly moving through the field -...

I assumed it was a skunk, but not the striped skunks we see here in Oregon. We get a few as orphans every year--small enough to fit in one hand easily. They...

Thanks! I was out of the office today and the rest of the week on an intense review panel, so I've only been able to catch bits and pieces. I don't really see...
It was indeed a skunk and we saw him/her again in the very same field the next day at about the same time of day - a "creature of habits" Fun to see one close...
So, I get to work this morning, and park the car in the first available space: in the back of the lot. But it turned out to be a blessing. I heard a loud...
Amen to that! Yes, seems to have gotten busy out there. This was the best shot from when we were out two weeks ago, but we saw a bunch of spring birds, even...

We noticed this morning, a pair of robins acting rather "frisky". It looked like they may be a pair, one would follow around behind the other one, and then...

Neat! You can tell male and female robins apart by the color of the head. The males have a very black "hood" to their head - the females are a duller gray...
