I am blogging from my property in the Appalachian foothills of Southeastern Ohio in beautiful Hocking Hills. I live in a large hardwood and pine grove forest I named Whispering Pines. I commonly refer to this property as "The Pines". Stay tuned as I report the wild things from here at the Pines.

Spring at Whispering Pines (my home)

Spring at the Pines - just a few shots of sights around the land. The flowering trees and early spring wildflowers and fern are just beautiful. Also, the Pileated Woodpecker has made a "condo" in a tree here, he/she is very elusive, I hear it a lot, rarely see. There has been an invasion of the purple finches, along w/goldfinches and a few house finches, in numbers of 20 to 30 at once. And The pines was graced w/the appearance of 4 male Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, they are gorgeous, and an uncommon sight for this area at this time. The kitten that lives outside here now is always up for a trek around the land, follows along wherever we go.
