Clad in my camo snowmobile suit, raspberry-colored knit hat (to warn off deer hunters), red gloves, and boots, I slip my camera strap over my head and emerge from my warm house into the cold, overcast January morning. Ready for bird photography, I scan my front yard and walk toward the field. No birds are…

The coloring makes it almost camouflaged (probably to protect it while it is young). I didn’t even see it in the tree. Dave spotted it. Adult night herons…
My husband’s favorite bird is the grackle. He learned to love them from his nature-loving Grandma Bertha in Wisconsin, whom he adored.
