Backyard Birds
Though COVID isolation has not exactly been a fun experience, it has forced me to notice behavior exhibited by local birds that I never took the time to see before. When we began the isolation process, I decided that by pursuing what exists in the world around us, I would be able to continue to enjoy photography right in my backyard. For this series of images, I observed the behavior of the birds who visited on a regular basis. In the winter I noticed how plump the American Robin became as he or she perched in various positions high in the trees while looking for ways to stay warm and searching for random berries. I never really noticed robins in the winter before. The Black-capped Chickadees, regular visitors all year, were especially appealing when I viewed them during the twilight hour. Occasionally, they rested long enough for me to catch them in lovely poses. In the spring I was delighted by the number of Baltimore Orioles who decided to feast on the oranges and grape jelly. The Cardinal couples are always delightful to watch. However, by taking time to really observe them, I was especially intrigued with their behavior during the courting season, when they often gathered together to have what appeared to be very interesting discussions. The American Goldfinches are lovely birds, who frequent our yard in great numbers. Usually, they flit around, quickly gathering their seeds before flying to the nearby trees. I was particularly interested in one that I observed in the fall. He found that it was especially enjoyable to rest on a rose bush and try out the rose petals. A pandemic-stricken world is a strange place to be, but finding the bright spots, such as backyard birds, can make it just a bit more endurable.
