This past weekend I was able to photograph Snow Buntings for the first time.  These sparrow-like birds visit Pennsylvania in small numbers each year. 

My wife Melissa and I just celebrated our anniversary.  That reminded me of a trip we took to Wyoming years ago on our anniversary. 

Red Crossbills are one of Pennsylvania's least studied breeding birds.  To find nesting crossbills, you usually need to head north. 

Several weeks ago I found a Sandhill Crane sitting on the ground on the far edge of a wetland.

I was excited to see a Mississippi Kite last week while I was looking for birds in western Pennsylvania. Mississippi Kites usually nest in the southern United States, from Arizona to South Carolina.
