My Backyard

Photos taken in my backyard in Bloomington, MN. It's nice to have a lot of trees in the yard and in the neighborhood, which allows a great diversity of birds. I've counted a total of 44 species in my backyard. Largest single day count was 18, and I saw 6 species of woodpecker in that same day.

Check out my backyard weather courtesy of a Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station.

If you leave me a message or comment, I'll do my best to return the favor! As always, I'm happy to answer any questions. Be sure to check out my Live Feeder Cam to see what birds are currently at the feeders. Take a look at our Chickadee nest box cam for a closeup view of our nesting chickadees. Thanks for visiting.

Liz, Have you ever been able to catch a shot at the big black bird with the yellow beak? I just was it this morning. Any idea what kind of bird it is? I am your neighbor up the street. Peggy

I just stumbled upon your website and enjoy it very much. Nice pictures. What kind of camera do you use? Your bird feeding station is amazing. Following the theory of imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, I will try to replicate it this some - or something really close.
