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 to share or have a question, please click on the button “Share Your Thoughts”.
I don’t follow a strict blogging schedule, but I generally post every 7-10 days—sometimes more often. Let’s enjoy nature together!

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 […]

Now is a good time to look for hawks and falcons on your interstates and divided highways …..
Earlier this week, Cleon and I drove about 25 miles to one of the cities closest to us to do some shopping – and to have a big breakfast that I did not have to cook. Always a real treat for me! As we drove home on the 15 miles of a divided 4-lane highway, […]
