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 or have a question, please click on the button “Share Your Thoughts”. I will answer your email – and always ask your permission before I post something you send or share your first name and the state in which you reside.
I post every Sunday evening. Let’s enjoy nature together!

More birds arriving safely from migration!
You may not see all these birds on the livestream cams. Some do not come to the feeders at all. Most will use the birdbaths – at least to drink – but they are often there and gone almost faster than you can blink an eye. But I wanted you to know they are here […]
