At home, I'm extremely proficient at collecting experiences with birds and nature along with photos, but I lag way behind in processing and contextualizing them into blogworthy accounts. (Twitter seems like a world I should adopt, as it takes way less than 148 seconds to post a 148 character tweet. Alas, brevity is not my strong suite.).
So, I owe, I owe, I'll be blogging soon again I know. In the meantime, here are a few shots I've collected from the past few weeks. Oh, and check out a guest post I wrote for "Puerto Rico Month" on 10000Birds.com. (Note to self: quite giving away blog posts to other sites . . . ).
Black-capped Chickadees nesting in an American White Birch (Betula papyrifera) snag.
A Grasshopper Sparrow surveys his territory, if he can hold on to it.
A male Common Yellowthroat attempts to attract a mate.
A Dark-eyed Junco taking a break from feeding nestlings.
A Cedar Waxwing keeps a wary eye on an intruder (me).-

Blogging can suck all the energy out of you. Sometimes you just have to take a guilt-free break.
Great photos! I enjoyed them!
@deejbrown - Thanks for the photo compliment, I had a lot of fun tracking those birds down to get a reasonable shot.
I've been spending more time than usual out birding and photographing this season, partially to gather blog fodder. But the birding/photography takes time away from blogging, and vice versa, a vicious cycle. I agree absolutely: a sabbatical here-and-there is necessary to refresh and refuel (but I need to work on the guilt-free part!).
