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!

Cardinals still eating at dawn
When I sat down at my desk this morning at 6:30AM, and looked out the window at the feeders, there was a male Northern Cardinal on the ground foraging under the platform feeder. Its mate and one of their juveniles were on that feeder. She was feeding the juvenile. In my opinion, mid-October is late […]

If you look on the Internet, you will find there are places were you can register to get alerts when there is a rare bird in a place it rarely/never is or something unusual happens. If you have the Merlin app* on your phone, you should have gotten an alert last evening. Because of the […]
