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.

Golden-crowned Kinglet
I am sitting here at my desk in our workroom which is on the second floor of our house. My desk is right at the double windows which overlook the backyard and bird feeders. Our yard is somewhat of a savanna. It has full grown oaks, hickories, cherries, and sassafras. The tree closest to my […]

A change in one of the inlets in our lake …..
Our weather always turns very cold in January. We often have at least a week – and sometimes two – of daytime temperatures in the single digits and nighttime temperatures below zero. This cold weather will begin tonight with a nighttime low of 1 degree. Our lake has large-mouthed bass, bluegill, and crappie. Plus lots […]
