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.

You might be surprised at who your neighbors really are—especially after the sun goes down. If you look closely at the bird feeder live stream and examine the ground under the feeders, you’ll see small holes. Raccoons. I know for sure there are two, but there could be more.

Odds and Ends From Our Trip
Cleon and I had a wonderful time birding in Ohio. I had been to Aullman Audubon back in the 1980’s with my Dad and liked it then – I liked it even more this time. Cleon has never been birding anywhere in Ohio. We both tend to think of Ohio as more flat, but there […]
