Changes to the website!

Mark and Lara at GoWeb1 do all the work on my website and I would be absolutely lost without them.  They are not only talented computer and website people, they are also very good at explaining everything to me in simple terms that I can understand.  Without them, there would be no website! My husband, […]

Lots going on – birds are busy on both livestream cameras

Canada Geese – what is going on?

Purple Martins

Cousins Jean, Rachel, Jess and I went plant shopping yesterday.  This was Jean’s and my 18th year of doing this – always the first Friday in May.  We have several greenhouses we visit and buy all the plants we want for our gardens – we are both avid gardeners. Normally I do not endorse or […]

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 […]
