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!

However, in early mornings and late afternoons, there are birds eating and taking baths. Also loafing – doves are great loafers. But there is lots going on in our yard. First of all, […]

In the dead of night and just before the crack of dawn ………
If you have been viewing the livestream cam on our bird feeders and have not seen anything, maybe you should adjust your viewing time! There is a whole lot going on – just not between 9AM and 4PM. Turn up your volume to enjoy faint, but rather soothing sounds of the night, then click and […]
