Flicker family

A bird-watcher/photographer friend of mine kindly shared the location of this Northern Flicker home.

“Where’s my breakfast?”

Touch and go

There are a number of birds that take off and land on the waters of Agimak Lake. Most frequently we see the Dehavilland Beaver and Otter.
The other day, however the tail of our Beaver was the target for a touch and go exercise for a flock of little song birds.

Tree Swallow up close.


Thanks to my good friends and bird experts, Darren & Bonnie for helping id them.

Tucked away

Getting in position to catch the rising moon the other night, I startled a bird out of the shrubs along the shore. It took me a few minutes but I found the nest. The eggs are about an inch and a half long, all four lay pointed into the center.

Northern Flicker visit


A norther flicker stopped by this morning to have a quiet breakfast from our lawn; a break from noisily pecking the nearby trees.

Helping hands

It’s been too cold for us to be enjoying the screen porch.
A hummingbird, however, stopped in but couldn’t find its way out.



It just needed a couple of helping hands.

“Come again!”
