Finding inspiration in nature, and sharing it with others, is part of everything I do. This crazy Covid year has given me a chance to find some of that inspiration closer to home, and I wanted to share a little with you this week. Like many of you I’m sure, I have had bird feeders in my back yard for years. But I haven’t focused much effort on photographing the birds that frequent my yard. When it snowed back in April though, and then again in late October in a freak early snowstorm here in Massachusetts, the peaceful, beautiful backdrop for these common birds really got me going on photographing them. So please enjoy the images below.
When you take time to pay attention and learn more about your backyard birds, you’ll find they’re pretty amazing, like I a few things I learned reading more about chickadees that I share below.
