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.

Try to spend time outdoors in nature walking or sitting and just absorb everything around you. Breathe. Deeply. The world is a difficult place right now, but spending time feeling the breeze on your […]

Pileated Woodpecker! And a dead tree…….
Yesterday, Cleon stood at the window and watched a Pileated Woodpecker fly through the birdfeeder cam viewing area twice. It landed on an almost dead tree outside the viewing area for a few minutes, then took off. So when you are watching the live-stream, look for it. You cannot miss it! Unfortunately, these woodpeckers have […]
