    Eastern Bluebird
Cape Elizabeth, ME 2.26.2021
© 2021, sarah beard buckley

"Most of the country drives during an eastern North American summer will turn up a few Eastern Bluebirds sitting on telephone wires or perched atop a nest box, calling out in a short, wavering voice or abruptly dropping to the ground after an insect. Marvelous birds to capture in your binoculars, male Eastern Bluebirds are a brilliant royal blue on the back and head, and warm red-brown on the breast. Blue tinges in the wings and tail give the grayer females an elegant look.

This species may visit backyards if food is offered. It doesn't often come to feeders, unless you have feeders that provide mealworms. Find out more about what this bird likes to eat and what feeder is best by using the Project FeederWatch Common Feeder Birds bird list. #easternbluebird #birdsofinstagram #birdphotography #getoutside #maine #mainephotography #portlandmaine #igersmaine #canonusa #canon100400ii 

Eastern Bluebirds are a great prospect for nest boxes if you have the space to put one up in your yard, and if your yard isn’t too hemmed in by trees or houses. Consider putting up a nest box to attract a breeding pair. Make sure you put it up well before breeding season. Attach a guard to keep predators from raiding eggs and young. Find out more about nest boxes on All About Birdhouses, where you'll find plans for building a nest box of the appropriate size for Eastern Bluebird."

    2020 was quite a bit different than usual for all of us. The wild birds and I became particularly close friends. Nature was my reprieve from all of the stress and uncertainty many of us experienced and still do. What a year. That being said, I am very fortunate & grateful for what I have. My family, Maine & the ability go through this with hardship but still being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel all while realizing not everyone has been so lucky. Here’s hoping for a better 2021, for all of us - especially those who are suffering. I wish you all a better New Year ! #maine #portlandme  #mainephotographer #mainelife #grateful #lovemaine #birdsbirdsbirds #birdsofinstagram #covidlife #2020

    Greater Yellowlegs, 11.04.2020
Cape Elizabeth, ME 
©2020, Sarah Beard Buckley

"Often referred to as a “marshpiper” for its habit of wading in deeper water than other sandpipers, the Greater Yellowlegs is heftier and longer-billed than its lookalike, the Lesser Yellowlegs. Greater Yellowlegs are seen mostly during migration, as they pass between nesting grounds in the mosquito-ridden bogs of boreal Canada and wintering territories on marshes across the southern tier of the United States. With its flashy yellow legs, sturdy bill, and deliberate gait, it cuts a dashing, often solitary, figure on mudflats from coast to coast.

Seeking out the Greater Yellowlegs requires a little bit of effort and good timing. Like most shorebirds, Greater Yellowlegs frequent ephemeral mudflats and shallow marshes in spring and fall migration. Local weather is important: in drought conditions, look for them in the shallow upper arms of reservoirs and lakes where nutrient-rich mud is exposed. In wet weather, look for them in flooded fields where rain creates shallow pools. Within a given wetland, you’ll often find Greater Yellowlegs wading in deeper water than other shorebird species."

    I’m not much for selfies or photos of myself - probably because after a certain age it just gets harder and harder to look the way we remember. But tonight is my last night in Bermuda and that’s a small milestone since I haven’t been here for about 25 years!! It’s been so much fun spending time here over the last week and it’s felt so safe . Bermuda is one of the safest worldwide destinations in our #covidworld. I was nervous about going, but am so glad I did. And after 3 Covid negative tests I could finally relax and gain a bit of a breather, at least for a while.

    Red Tailed Hawk, 8.6.20
Cape Elizabeth, Maine
©2020, sarah beard buckley
"This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you’ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky.
Birds are amazingly adapted for life in the air. The Red-tailed Hawk is one of the largest birds you’ll see in North America, yet even the biggest females weigh in at only about 3 pounds. A similar-sized small dog might weigh 10 times that."

    I often plant "Verbena bonariensis or Tall Verbena" here in Maine as an annual. It blooms all summer and as you can see it's a butterfly magnet! Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly and 
Rose Campion in the background.

Veronica
March 23, 2018 By  sbbmaine@gmail.com With  0 Comment
In  Beauty  /  Featured  /  Headshots  /  Maine  /  Portland  /  Portraits

Meet Veronica. She’s a soloist and company member at Maine State Ballet, the leading professional dance company in Maine. She’s also a college student finishing her last year studying mathematics and physics at the University of Southern Maine. Really! Talk about commitment. When I first photographed Veronica it was in her role as a company member at Maine State Ballet, both on stage & in more formal portraits. Her performances are a joy to watch. If you’ve never see her, go to one of her performances, you won’t be disappointed. For this series I photographed Veronica in my home studio which was perfect allowing us to focus on connection which is so important in portrait photography. What a pro and always such a pleasure to photograph.

A few additional shots of  Veronica on Stage

#Bermuda  #travelohotographer  #covidlife #mainephotographer #iphone11 #covidvacation #fiftyandfabulous #lemko #carpathorusyn

    I’m not much for selfies or photos of myself - probably because after a certain age it just gets harder and harder to look the way we remember. But tonight is my last night in Bermuda and that’s a small milestone since I haven’t been here for about 25 years!! It’s been so much fun spending time here over the last week and it’s felt so safe . Bermuda is one of the safest worldwide destinations in our #covidworld. I was nervous about going, but am so glad I did. And after 3 Covid negative tests I could finally relax and gain a bit of a breather, at least for a while.

    It’s been such an odd six months for me (as for most) both personally and professionally, but I am so grateful for the little nature reprieves I have with my daughter.❤️ Today, a walk in the Maine woods. #iphone

    Red Tailed Hawk, 8.6.20
Cape Elizabeth, Maine
©2020, sarah beard buckley
"This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you’ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky.
Birds are amazingly adapted for life in the air. The Red-tailed Hawk is one of the largest birds you’ll see in North America, yet even the biggest females weigh in at only about 3 pounds. A similar-sized small dog might weigh 10 times that."

    I often plant "Verbena bonariensis or Tall Verbena" here in Maine as an annual. It blooms all summer and as you can see it's a butterfly magnet! Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly and 
Rose Campion in the background.
