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.

Changes to the website!
Mark and Lara at GoWeb1 do all the work on my website and I would be absolutely lost without them. They are not only talented computer and website people, they are also very good at explaining everything to me in simple terms that I can understand. Without them, there would be no website!

In a fight between a female Hairy Woodpecker and a male Common Grackle – where would you place your bet?
