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.

Warblers are migrating
Cleon and I have been working in our gardens – starting to get them ready for winter. We are pulling up weeds, doing some selective deadheading, and mulching bare spots. We are careful how much we deadhead as some plants winter better intact. These are the plants we cut to the ground in spring. And […]
