Small Wonders
A Winter's Jay
With Pennsylvania and New Jersey blanketed in snow, I stayed close to home this weekend. It was a good opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasures of everyday birding - nothing exotic, just the comforting sights and sounds of blue jays and cardinals, and other birds hungry after weathering the storm.

nd that means lots of migrating robins. This beauty took a break from eating berries to pose for me.
It's curious - many bird photographers don't do many robins, presumably because they are so common. But for most of us, growing up, these were among the first birds we saw, certainly among the first that made us curious to know about where they went and what they did. So if I see a nice one, bear with me. I'll continue to post it.Bridled Titmouse - Arizona

Dusky-capped Flycatcher
Outside the village of Tubac in Arizona is a clearing along the Santa Cruz River that was the first stop in my Arizona wildlife tour. I was rewarded almost right away with a sighting of this Dusky-capped Flycatcher. It was a life bird for me, but a fairly common one in the southwest and Latin America.
