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.

Everybody is back at the feeders and birdbaths!
Looks like everyone made it back from migration – Cleon and I are very happy! Migration is dangerous for every bird. Many never make it to their destination – especially younger birds. We have no of way of knowing if these are the same birds that lived here last spring and summer, but at least […]

Blasted Raccoons!!!!!
Sometimes when stuff happens it is just sooooooo aggravating. Which is what Cleon and I experienced this morning when we looked out at the hummingbird and oriole feeders that you could see on the birdbath cam. Both cups of the oriole feeder were on the ground and licked clean. The lids were off two of […]
