Welcome to My Blog!
This blog is where I will share with you what I am seeing in our yard, in our gardens, and what is happening on our small lake. I will also tell you about birds I observe when traveling. And I would like to hear from you! The purpose of this website is for all of us who are interested in birds, to share what we are seeing and thinking. Please use the Public Forum to post what you are observing and to ask and answer questions. I do not have a rigid schedule as to when I blog, but I generally post every 3-5 days – occasionally more often. I will also use this blog to inform you when Cleon and I will be live, on camera, explaining what we are doing at the feeders and birdbaths. I will also post the day and time when I mow as birds most often will not be at the feeders at that time. So, I will use this blog – you use the Public Forum – and let’s learn about birds together!

Birding in east central Illinois
From where we live in central Illinois, we drove east toward Indiana. No destination in mind – just taking a long ride on a lovely fall day. And we did see a few birds. For me, it is never how many species, but the birds I am seeing – what are they doing? And I […]

American Crows
I just added a Video starring an American Crow and its sidekick – another American Crow. I finally caught them rearranging the rocks in both birdbaths. Crows are amongst the most intelligent birds. And they are not just smart, they are clever. And as this video will show you, it seems to me they have […]
