  • Although not native to America, this native to Europe, Asia and North Africa has spread to every continent on the planet except Antarctica. This one saved me the time of going to find him, and let me photograph him on my back porch!

  • This handsome little member of the finch family was photographed from my back porch south of Seattle, Washington. Declining in numbers for the past 50 years around the north where they are still somewhat common throughout Alaska, Canada and the mountainous areas of the Northern United States. It is believed that the cause of the siskin decline is the increase of brown-headed cowbirds throughout their range that lay their eggs in siskin nests. This parasitic behavior leads the much larger cowbird chicks to out-compete their "siblings" resulting in weaker pine siskin chicks, that are more likely to not survive.

  • This small variety of chickadee is a very common springtime visitor to the maple tree in my backyard. Extremely bold for even other usually curious chickadees, this one will often land within arm's reach from me if I'm just minding my own business, reading a book on my own back porch.

  • Lawn orchid found growing in Fort Myers, Florida but not in a completely wild location. This one along with about five others appeared in one of my cultivated orchid pots on my front porch!

  • This large four-inch yellow moth was hanging around our front porch for a couple days in Tallahassee, Florida. After several bad attempts at photographing it, I finally got it right with a ring flash at about 2AM on the sidewalk.
