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.

It snowed!
Looking out our windows, I feel like a child again in Pennsylvania. Except I will be enjoying all this snow from inside our house and not outside playing all day with my next door neighbor Chip. Building snow forts, snowmen, and shoveling driveways and sidewalks for $5 – to be split between us. Those were […]

The Common Loon (Gavia immer)
Cleon and I spent Christmas in Michigan and Wisconsin and as we were driving through the rural parts of both states past wetlands and lakes, I started thinking about Common Loons. The population numbers of loons used to be greater. In the early to mid 1900’s, they nested throughout our northern states and the Midwest […]
