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.

And a post script!
It is now 6:25AM Central time and I am on my second cup of coffee. The male and female cardinals have had their breakfast and a juvenile cardinal is now eating. My guess is that since it came right after the female, this is one of their juveniles. If you see it on the platform […]

Who is eating in the dark at 6:02AM?
Good Morning Everyone! It is 6:02AM Central Time and I am bleary-eyed at my desk having just taken my first sip of coffee. I just woke up the computer which runs the live-stream cameras. Even though it is still dark outside, the cameras do run all night and are lit so you can see black […]
