Welcome to My Blog
This blog is where I’ll share with you what I’m seeing in our yard, around our small lake, and when we travel—anything related to birds, wildlife, and plants. And also occasionally share with you what philosophical question is on my mind while I am outside watching the clouds drift by. Or if something strikes me as really funny!
I’d love to hear from you as well – what you are observing and thinking. Whether you have an observation or photo or have a question, please click on the button “Share Your Thoughts”. I will answer your email – and always ask your permission before I post something you send or share your first name and the state in which you reside.
I post every Sunday evening. Let’s enjoy nature together!

Bird Lists, Birding Notebook, Nature Journal …… Should you record what you see? Does it matter?
