Welcome to my author & photography page. "I write, teach piano, take lots of pictures and make jewelry. A creative soul with a rescue dog."

My name is Ellen DuBois, and I've been writing since I can remember. I began writing poetry as a child and as I got older, my poems, stories, lyrics, etc., grew with me. Whenever I had to sort out my feelings, I turned to writing - and still do. Whether pen and paper, my old Smith-Corona typewriter I got for my high school graduation or my computer, writing has been a constant, faithful companion.

So has the hobby of taking pictures. I find photography to be an incredibly relaxing, spiritual experience. So, I've incorporated my picture taking into my blog. It's a part of me and what I see that I'd like to share with you.

I also welcome you to visit my author page on Amazon, Ellen M. DuBois, on Amazon.com by clicking here.

Thank you, be well and God Bless! Ellen

The Gray Catbird: Learning about birds with my Nikon

by Ellen DuBois on 05/09/19







With the arrival of spring comes all sorts of bird songs I've never heard before. Since I've been taking more pictures of birds, I've become even more curious as to what kinds I'm seeing and hearing. 


I love grabbing my camera, heading outside and capturing images of birds, nature, blossoms- you name it. (My dog doesn't escape having his picture taken, too.)

This morning, I heard the song of a bird I didn't recognize. It was early and quiet- around 7:30. What else to do but get my camera and head outside?

I believe the bird pictured here is a gray catbird. I am pretty sure of this based on good old google. I looked up gray singing birds northeast and both the photos and descriptions of this interesting bird seemed to match. (If I'm wrong and you know your birds, please let me know.)


 

Thanks for stopping by!- Ellen
