Welcome to My Blog
This blog is where I’ll share with you what I’m seeing in our yard, around our small lake, and when we travel—anything related to birds, wildlife, and plants. And also occasionally share with you what philosophical question is on my mind while I am outside watching the clouds drift by. Or if something strikes me as really funny!
I’d love to hear from you as well – what you are observing and thinking. Whether you have an observation or photo to share or have a question, please click on the button “Share Your Thoughts”.
I don’t follow a strict blogging schedule, but I generally post every 7-10 days—sometimes more often. Let’s enjoy nature together!

Everybody is back at the feeders and birdbaths!
Looks like everyone made it back from migration – Cleon and I are very happy! Migration is dangerous for every bird. Many never make it to their destination – especially younger birds. We have no of way of knowing if these are the same birds that lived here last spring and summer, but at least […]

Blasted Raccoons!!!!!
Sometimes when stuff happens it is just sooooooo aggravating. Which is what Cleon and I experienced this morning when we looked out at the hummingbird and oriole feeders that you could see on the birdbath cam. Both cups of the oriole feeder were on the ground and licked clean. The lids were off two of […]
