DDolans Blog entries

I saw about 30 species of birds on Thanksgiving day.  Here is a post about my day with a number of pictures.

I haven't updated my blog info.  I have been kind of busy, and so have not done a really good job of putting a lot of effort into my blog entries, but I do have some decent pictures.  I am trying to finish going through my pictures from the rio grand valley and have one more days worth that need to be processed, but I do have the first 3 days pictures posted.

I started my series on High Island Spring Migration on my blog.  Here is my Warbler post from this weekend:

I have done several posts on Spring migration at High Island and just posted some nice pictures taken at the photo blind of some really nice looking birds.  Let me know if you like them.

Wow! I can't believe the range of species you have in your backyard! How many feeders do you have? I saw the suet feeder, but are you also using Black-Oil Sunflower seed? Lovely pictures!

Hi Dave,

Love the pics on your blog from the bird blind on High Island. Very cool.  I have always heard that just sitting still and letting the birds come to you is a good way to get pics. I am too much of a hiker and can't sit still - but it looks like you were very successful. You have lots of warblers in your area. I was out in the Smokies and Blue Ridge Mts. earlier this summer and hoped to get some warbler pics, but wasn't very successful - I heard them, but they hid very well. The only good photo I got was a Hooded Warbler. The others were poor images - dark and blurry.  I will spend some time going back to read some of your older posts.  Keep up the good work

I just started blogging about birding this summer - kind of ramblings of an amateur birder. This week I am featuring all the different sparrows I photographed within the past year.

Hey Jon, thanks for the nice response.  Nate just posted about my blog on the ABABlog, so I guess I am doing OK with my pictures.Getting ready to ramp up with the warblers again in the next few weeks and am actually driving to San Antonio to see some Golden-cheeked Warblers this weekend.  Watch for posts on that.

Nice blog by the way.  Good to have you on the forum.
