Boll Weevil Birding Digest

Lotsa work, but I got a ton of pictures online and seperated into galleries. Altogether, I think I have about 17 different galleries setup, one for each bird species.

Some of the pictures aren’t that great, but it’s not like a bird will sit still and pose for the camera, so sometimes you take what you can get! My camera isn’t all that great, but the old one was even worse (as you can tell by some of the older pictures).Â

I have some pictures of a pair of rose breasted grosbeaks…they were here a couple of days while they were migrating, and I do wish those pictures were better, but for a once in a lifetime picture I guess they will do.

I have a few more pictures to dig out and when I do I’ll get them up and in a gallery, and then I plan to go back and edit the image information and put in descriptions and proper titles. It’d be disorganised otherwise – I’m sure no one goes over to Foxy Bingo only to find all the games in haphazard order – even worse, imagine Google if nothing was organised! I suppose organising and editing isn’t as hard, but it’s tough work getting out there to take the photographs in the first place. For now though, I’m just glad to have some of the labor intensive work behind me.

From now on, I can just take a few pictures and put them online as I get them, so hopefully I’ll be able to keep things updated.

Well…until I decide to put my pictures of the lizards, flowers, and bugs online, but that’s probably for another year!

I thought I would make a post and tell you what kinds of birds are in the site logo here. Bear in mind, I watch birds from my window and I’m not a professional, so I am giving you my honest opinion as to any birds you may see here, but remember I am not an expert so I’m subject to being wrong!  :-)

Now, with that disclaimer in place I believe the birds, from left to right and top to bottom are:

1. Female Eastern Bluebird
2. Mourning Dove
3. Male Goldfinch
4. Male Cardinal
5. Pine Sisken
6. Chipping Sparrows
7. Male Eastern Bluebird

As you have also probably gathered…I’m not a graphic artist in addition to my not being a professional bird watcher! I have been taking pictures of the little feathered visitors to my yard for several years though, and have wanted to put them online to share, and thought this website would offer me a chance to do that.

I don’t get out very much on ‘birdwatching’ trips, but I do have a fairly good variety of species in my pictures, and I look forward to posting some of the pictures in the future.

I’m still working on getting everything setup, so as you have probably already figured out, there isn’t really anything here at the moment.

Hopefully I’ll have things looking a lot better in a month or so, so stop by again and see the progress.
