Your Bio

Birds and dogs are my passion and not always in that order. My husband and I are usually out and about searching for birds and take our "Boys" along whenever we can.
They are the joy of our lives and spoiled rotten.
Hope you enjoy my galleries!

Orioles : On Dec.12,2008 I was totally surprised to see a beautiful male Baltimore Oriole eating suet on my deck. (I'd only seen one other Oriole in my yard for a total of 5 minutes about 2 years ago). He spent a lot of time eating suet ( which I make) and cracked sunflower seeds. Every day he was out there several times a day, much to my delight. Imagine my surprise when nearly one month to the day, a female Oriole showed up on the feeders. I've been having so much fun photographing them.. I hope they stay forever.

Craney Island - Portsmouth, VA : Craney Island at the mouth of the Elizabeth River, the scene of the American victory that spared Norfolk from being captured by the British during the War of 1812, was originally known as Crayne or Craney Point. The name was derived from the fact that the early settlers on the Elizabeth River were impressed with the great number of what they mistakenly believed to be cranes that inhabited it. Hence the name Crayne or Craney Point, although the birds the settlers thought were cranes were actually white and blue herons, still fairly common birds in the Tidewater area.

Bald Eagle releases at Berkeley and Westover Plantations : The images in this gallery are of Bald Eagle releases by the Wildlife Center of Virginia. These are all Eagles that had been brought there for rehabilitation and then released.. The Eagles have mostly been released at Berkeley Plantation on the James, where there are high concentrations of Eagles present. President of The Wildlife Center of Virginia is Ed Clark, who does a wonderful presentation and allows for photo ops before sending the birds off to freedom. Please visit the Wildlife Center of Virginia's website...http://www.wildlifecenter.org/

Bethel Beach landscapes : Eagle Update.. I just heard from Dave McRuer, M.Sc., DVM Director of Veterinary Services Wildlife Center of Virginia. he explained that the bird has Avian Pox and that the disease is self limiting. As long as the bird can see enough to find food, it is entirely possible that it will survive and the lesions will drop off in 6 weeks or so.

Our Cats : We have a total of 4 cats. People have been dumping cats on us for years. We have them spayed and neutered and try to find homes for them. These barn cats are permanent residents. They are only allowed out for a few hours per night, to keep the cats and the bird population around here safe.

Doodle Sculpture : I carved the original Doodle using my own dear Teddy Woof-Woof as a model.I tried to make this a generic-type of Doodle that could be either a Goldendoodle or a Labradoodle. I had a mold made and it has been cast in resin by a company in Maryland that has been reproducing my originals for 20+ years. I also do Folk Art swans and geese and farm animals.People have been asking me to carve a Doodle for a long time. I finally just got around to doing it.My resin caster hand casts each one and then ships them to me unpainted. I can custom paint each one to order, if I have a picture of your Doodle to go by. They are approx. 8" tall.They are $28.00 each. Shipping is extra.I don't add any sort of handling charges. Each piece is signed by me, and carries a Made in USA tag. I ship via UPS.. You can email me at tomlyn@verizon.net . Or call me at (804) 932-4541 More of my work can be found at http://www.saltboxprimitives.com Thanks for looking!
