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.

We are going to have a Downy Woodpecker family!
Cleon and I were sitting on our patio – sprawled out in our Adirondack chairs after working in our yard and gardens. This patio is on the side of the house and some distance from the feeders, but the edge of trees along this part of the lake is a haven for birds – particularly […]
