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!

Pine Siskins! And our regular winter visitors …..
As of this past weekend, there are now two Pine Siskins from time to time on the platform feeder. Sometimes it is just the two of them and other times they are with the goldfinches. You have to look hard to see the bit of yellow on the wing-bars of the siskins’ folded wings, but […]

Flock of Blackbirds
Blackbirds are in their winter flocks. These flocks can be anywhere from a few dozen birds to thousands and thousands. Although you can see these flocks anywhere within their ranges, I think the best place to see them is here in The Midwest or out on The Great Plains. Harvest is either finished or well […]
