Found on a trail at West Point on the Eno. Guess somebody didn’t take his cranky meds. Share on Facebook

How did I miss this? Just heard from my pharmacist that imitrex is now available as generic sumatriptan. Happy happy happy dance!! Since the nearly-$500/month I pay in health insurance premiums doesn’t cover a year’s worth of brand-name medications, this could save me hundreds of dollars a year. Now, if they will only release montekulast [...]

The last of the hatchlings is dead in its nest. One disappeared yesterday—I looked under the Russian Olive to see if it had fallen, but couldn’t find it anywhere. I assume it fell out of the nest and succumbed to a predator, or one of the neighborhood hawks or owls plucked it right from the [...]

This cardinal has been sitting on its nest right outside my studio window. I was able to take this shot by creeping sloooowly and quietly up to the window (I had to shoot through the glass which is why the quality’s not so hot). When she’s not in the nest, I can see two eggs, [...]
