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.

The live-stream will begin again next spring – probably in late April. It will depend when the birds return from their winter […]

Ruffed Grouse
I have always had a special place in my heart for Ruffed Grouse. I am from Pennsylvania and that is our state bird – and I learned that in fourth grade from my most favorite teacher, Miss Clouser. There was something about the bird that fascinated me even then, and in part, I think it […]

Still with us!
We do not see the groundhog very often – in fact it has been weeks since the last sighting and we thought it had moved on. But here it is – today at noon. Our yard is full of hickory and oak trees so I am guessing a nice nut or acorn is what it […]
