My Blog

Welcome to My Blog!

This blog is where I’ll share what I’m seeing in our yard, in the gardens, and around our small lake—anything related to birds and gardening. I’d love to hear from you as well! Whether you’re observing something interesting or have a bird-related question, feel free to reach out. I don’t follow a strict blogging schedule, but I typically post every 4 to 7 days—sometimes more often. Let’s enjoy learning about birds together.

    More birds arriving safely from migration!

    You may not see all these birds on the livestream cams.  Some do not come to the feeders at all.  Most will use the birdbaths – at least to drink – but they are often there and gone almost faster than you can blink an eye.  But I wanted you to know they are here […]

    Everybody is back at the feeders and birdbaths!

    Looks like everyone made it back from migration – Cleon and I are very happy!  Migration is dangerous for every bird.  Many never make it to their destination – especially younger birds.  We have no of way of knowing if these are the same birds that lived here last spring and summer, but at least […]
