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!

But we all enjoy visiting […]

A Mystery! What is this dove doing???
Cleon watched this Mourning Dove at our large bird bath for two days. Both days, the dove got into the center of the birdbath and then stretched one wing out and up – vertically – perpendicular to its body. Then it did the same with the other wing. And the bird held both wings outstretched […]

What is all the loud noise on both live cameras?
Our neighbors across our small inlet are getting a new roof and what you are hearing is all the hammering. Their roof was badly damaged during that awful storm we had earlier this summer – the one I blogged about. They were very fortunate in that the the big oak that came down got caught […]

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 […]
