Welcome to My Blog!
This blog is where I will share with you what I am seeing in our yard, in our gardens, what is happening on our small lake – anything at all related to birds and gardens. And I would like to hear from you! The purpose of this website is for all of us who are interested in birds, to share what we are seeing and thinking. Please use the Public Forum to post what you are observing and to ask and answer questions. I do not have a rigid schedule as to when I blog, but I generally post every 4-7 days – occasionally more often. I will use this blog – you can use the Public Forum – and let’s learn about birds together! If you need to contact me personally, please email me at lindahendricksspence@birdingbeyondthefieldguide.com.

We are going to have a Downy Woodpecker family!
Cleon and I were sitting on our patio – sprawled out in our Adirondack chairs after working in our yard and gardens. This patio is on the side of the house and some distance from the feeders, but the edge of trees along this part of the lake is a haven for birds – particularly […]

Sandhill Crane
Yesterday, I posted a video. Sandhill Crane. Cleon and I took a drive on rural roads through farmland. Some of these fields have not had changes and so still have low areas where water collects – generally no more than a foot deep and most often, only several inches deep. These low areas are havens […]
