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!

What you are hearing right now at 1:14PM Central Time …….
That rat-a-tat-tat which sounds so loud is actually a Downy Woodpecker drumming away on the post that holds the birdfeeder cam!

And a post script!
It is now 6:25AM Central time and I am on my second cup of coffee. The male and female cardinals have had their breakfast and a juvenile cardinal is now eating. My guess is that since it came right after the female, this is one of their juveniles. If you see it on the platform […]
