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.

    Birding The OBX – Mid-morning …..

    Continuing from where I left off on the previous post …… It is the same day, only later in the morning.  After we finished early morning birding in the park that bordered Pamlico Sound, we needed coffee and some sort of quick breakfast.  We turned back on the highway and drove north and saw this […]
