JUNE 2025 (Reverse chronological this time)
Note: If videos won't play full screen, you can always view (some of) them via my Youtube channel.
Milkweed growth update (June 30).
I added random bird sound (Rose-breasted Grosbeak).
Carolina Wren on rain gauge.

This is a first for me!
Fireflies around 2am. This is a compilation of 17 thirty-second exposures.
I recorded pond audio too, aerator and frogs, heard in the video version. It's not a real video but I liked the slow screen update when adding layers so I screen-captured that and added the sound.
June 29
One of the cool things about birds.
The audio is from last month, one benefit of making it a video.

June 27
Milkweed growth. I suspect it will get taller but I didn't plan ahead for scale so this may be the end of the animation.
June 24 (photos) June 25 (audio) Carolina Wren. They don't usually sit in one spot for that long, perhaps it's a juvie.
Young Red-bellied woodpecker. Safe to call this a first-year juvie I think.
June 21 - Tufted Titmouse
June 20 - Eastern Wood Pewee, another tracking experiment.
This is the original without the tracking.
June 19 - More Catbird and jelly fun
June 18 - Chipping Sparrow, video tracking/stabilizing experiment, originally shot in 2023 (April 20)

Catbird is quick to come for jelly. Minimal edit, I love the slowed-down audio of the instant replay.
June 15
Another symmetrical odometer reading, restoring balance to an off-kilter universe.
A Northern Flicker stopped by as I was refilling the jelly. The call at the end was dubbed in, recorded last week.

This colourful conjunction did happen but here I combined two images for focus.
I think this is what they call getting photobombed. Ms Oriole is the boldest of the Orioles coming around, relatively comfortable being photographed through the open window.

View of 2nd clutch Bluebird nestlings using the borescope (first time). Less disturbance than removing the nest box. Ma Bluebird voiced objection but refrained from aerial defense. Thanks to Nick Ridout for the scope.

June 6 - sitting in with the Greasy Boys, one of my two songs.
June 5
Not just one, a whole flock of Bobwhites in my driveway today. I sat in my car for a while taking shots/video with phone but eventually crept into the house for the big lens and they were still around.
I didn't know what they were, thought maybe something to do with my neighbor as they seemed relatively mellow. Googled "grouse-like birds in Ohio" and it suggested Ruffed Grouse, but folks on the bird ID FB group unanimously said Northern Bobwhite.
Merlin didn't help me for some unknown reason.

I'm cleaning, I'm cleaning again.
Two shots combined for depth of field, taken seconds apart.

Still two unhatched eggs in the Bluebird house (and 3 little mouths to feed).

I thought I'd see more hatchlings today, but not yet. (June 8 update: still two unhatched eggs)
