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 to share or have a question, please click on the button “Share Your Thoughts”.
I don’t follow a strict blogging schedule, but I generally post every 7-10 days—sometimes more often. Let’s enjoy nature together!

For those of us in the northern and central states – where are the Baltimore Orioles?
If you have been watching the livestream bird bath cam since May, you will have seen lots of Baltimore Orioles eating, drinking, and bathing. You have probably noticed that in the last week, there were no Baltimore Orioles. We did have at 1 successful nest at our house and 1 at our neighbor’s across our […]

A Great Time to Watch the Livestream Bird Bath Cam
Families! Most especially House Finch families. We must have had a whole neighborhood of House Finch nests. You can easily pick out the males – their red heads and upper breasts are still a brilliant red that just glows in sunlight. The juveniles are brown and striped all over with darker shades of brown. They […]
