Female red-winged blackbird, Agelaius phoeniceus.
Lady Hernshead stands on the rim of her nest but seemed at that moment to be more interested in what I was doing than in tending to Little Hernshead.

Three days ago, NYC was encased in clouds after an all-night rainstorm. Being a native of Seattle, I found this to be very beautiful and reminiscent of my other home, 3,000 miles away.

As you have probably guessed, looking at my pictures, I really love night photography, and NYC is so photogenic by night, too. But I still have not managed to translate the image that I see in my mind into an image that you can see on my blog, but I am experimenting with my camera in the hope that one day, I shall finally capture that exquisite picture to share with all of you.

The Big Apple: The city that never sleeps.
On 7th Avenue, looking south at Times Square, NYC, last night.
(Yes, I was standing in traffic, but it wasn't moving, so this
picture only looks as if I risked my life to get it for you, but
if it makes you feel better to think that I was nearly killed getting
this picture, well, go ahead and think that!)

Last night was a good night for walking around Manhattan, as I tend to do when I cannot sleep.

This sweet image is a Christmas/New Year's gift from one of my readers and long-time friends, Bob Levy, to me and to all of you!
The photogrpaher writes; I have been saving this image made last March as my Christmas and News Years present to you. I consider it to be the cutest of the cute from my "Almost-too-cute-for-words" file. I call this Raccoon Brownie because her fur is…

Eastern Gray Squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis, in Central Park, NYC.

The photographer writes; I watched this Gray Squirrel dig out an acorn and proceed to gnaw away at it. There was nothing particularly unusual about that. Only after I downloaded the image did I notice the mud all over its meal. The animal made no observable effort to clean the acorn and I imagine that a considerable portion of it must have been ingested. Judging by how enthusiastically the…
