Welcome to My Blog!
This blog is where I will share with you what I am seeing in our yard, in our gardens, what is happening on our small lake – anything at all related to birds and gardens. 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 4-7 days – occasionally more often. I will use this blog – you can use the Public Forum – and let’s learn about birds together! If you need to contact me personally, please email me at lindahendricksspence@birdingbeyondthefieldguide.com.

The population numbers of loons used to be greater. In the early to mid 1900’s, they nested throughout our northern states and the Midwest […]

The camera is just fine – our electrical system is not. We will call our electrician tomorrow morning so he can make the necessary repairs. I am not sure when he will be able to come so have no idea when the camera will be streaming again – I will keep you posted. Cleon is […]

Happy New Year!
Cleon and I wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. And don’t forget to include birds in your resolutions! Try to spend time outdoors in nature walking or sitting and just absorb everything around you. Breathe. Deeply. The world is a difficult place right now, but spending time feeling the breeze on your […]
