Ken, sent us this photo of a Dovekie, a tiny seabird he found in Truro. Only about the size of a cardinal (a fat cardinal) Dovekies usually live far out at sea, but occasional winter storms (or food) brings them in closer, where Ken was waiting with his camera. For...

When I ask most folks about the birds on their feeder they typically reply: " We get the usual birds." Well, this isn't the case for Leo. For the last few weeks he's been seeing this striking and crazy-colored Painted Bunting on his feeder in Orleans. Wow! IDK where...

Most Christmas trees have lights, a bit of tinsel and an assortment of colorful ornaments. But Lori Jurkowski has my kind of tree…one filled with birds. I see chickadees, woodpeckers, bluebirds, cardinals and in the middle, a kingfisher. Yeah! I’d bet not many...
