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.

Public Forum – Completely revamped!
I hope you will take a few minutes to give the Public Forum another look. This is your forum to post your sightings and photos, and to ask questions. I felt the original setup of this section was hard to use – especially if you are like me and do not have much skill operating […]
