My Blog

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.

If you’d like to get in touch, please email me directly at lindahendricksspence@birdingbeyondthefieldguide.com.

    American Crows

    I just added a Video starring an American Crow and its sidekick – another American Crow.  I finally caught them rearranging the rocks in both birdbaths. Crows are amongst the most intelligent birds.  And they are not just smart, they are clever.  And as this video will show you, it seems to me they have […]

    Your posts in The Public Forum – I have learned something new ……
