Welcome to My Blog!
This blog is where I will share with you what I am seeing in our yard, in our gardens, and what is happening on our small lake. I will also tell you about birds I observe when traveling. 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 3-5 days – occasionally more often. I will also use this blog to inform you when Cleon and I will be live, on camera, explaining what we are doing at the feeders and birdbaths. I will also post the day and time when I mow as birds most often will not be at the feeders at that time. So, I will use this blog – you use the Public Forum – and let’s learn about birds together!

Public Forum – Completely revamped!
I hope you will take a few minutes to give the Public Forum another look. This is your forum to post your sightings and photos, and to ask questions. I felt the original setup of this section was hard to use – especially if you are like me and do not have much skill operating […]

Cardinals and Crows
A pair of cardinals are still coming to the platform feeder very early each morning – at dawn, but before the sun breaks the horizon line. Here at our house, that is between about 6:10-6:40AM Central Time. The feedercam will be in black and white, but you will still be able to easily see these […]

The crows have been watching HGTV!
The crows are redecorating. I could hardly believe my eyes the other day when I looked out our windows at the small birdbath which you can see on the birdfeeder cam. There was a crow, sitting on the rim, and moving the stones all around with its beak. It was actually picking the stones up […]
