My Blog

Welcome to My Blog!

This blog is where I’ll share what I’m seeing in our yard, in the gardens, and around our small lake—anything related to birds and gardening. I’d love to hear from you as well! Whether you’re observing something interesting or have a bird-related question, feel free to reach out. I don’t follow a strict blogging schedule, but I typically post every 4 to 7 days—sometimes more often. Let’s enjoy learning about birds together.

    What is going on in our yard…… and the geese are back!

    There is not a lot going on at our livestream camera right now – especially between the hours of 10AM and 3:30PM.  However, in early mornings and late afternoons, there are birds eating and taking baths.  Also loafing – doves are great loafers.  But there is lots going on in our yard. First of all, […]

    In the dead of night and just before the crack of dawn ………

    If you have been viewing the livestream cam on our bird feeders and have not seen anything, maybe you should adjust your viewing time!  There is a whole lot going on – just not between 9AM and 4PM.  Turn up your volume to enjoy faint, but rather soothing sounds of the night, then click and […]
