I met this gray Jay (Perisoreus canadensis) earlier this week in the mountains. It was begging for food. They used to get fed by loggers living in camps back in the days. Nowadays they are fed by hikers. They can be agressive if you don't comply and will steal your food. They don't like me because I don't feed wildlife. I can live with that.

Napa-Solano Audubon Christmas Bird Count 4 Kids 2024

Participants will sign in, review birding strategies, have a binocular training, and break into small teams. Teams will then travel with their parents by car to nearby parks throughout Napa. Participants will hike with their team leaders, bird guide, checklist, and binoculars for 90 minutes of fun birding along a specific trail to record species and count birds. Children will experience the thrill of adding new birds to their list and keeping an accurate count of the birds they see. We will reconvene at Connolly Ranch at Noon to share observations, tabulate birds, enjoy lunch, and meet a special surprise guest!

"I found that penguins differed in their reactions to being hoisted between human legs. Some were calm, mildly befuddled at how they got a foot off the ground. Others acted as if they were possessed, squirming and slapping and biting. Penguins are beefy birds, sleek bullets of swimming muscle, torpedoes of power, and they slapped impressively hard."

Heron in the Morning Light

I took this image of a great blue heron (Ardea herodias) at Gulfport, Mississippi.

I've had several inquiries about how to get a print of some my photographs. This is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. But I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my photographs.

So, I set up an account and website with pixels. My website is:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there, If I haven't loaded it, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly load it there for you.
