My Blog

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!

    Hummingbird feeders – when to take them down?

    This is a question I get asked all the time and also a question I ask myself.  If you go to Articles on the website menu and click, you will see I have written an article about this very thing for everyone in the continental U.S. But I think the most important thing is to […]

    Birdfeeder Cam Live-stream – I have added something new ……

    Picture me sitting here laughing as I typed “I have added something new….. ”  I have added nothing.  But my IT men have.  One of these men has been with me since day 1.  He chose the cameras and installed them.  And he is the one who oversees everything.  The second man joined us and […]
