We decorated around the birdfeeders – you can see our efforts on the birdfeeder cam. I channeled my Inner Crow! These are not holiday or Christmas decorations, but winter decorations. I know it is still fall until the winter solstice on December 21, but believe me when I tell you that is a technicality! It […]
I have added more videos to this website. If you have yet to watch any, just go to the website menu on the homepage and click on ‘Videos’. The list will come up and just click on the title of the video you would like to watch. Turn up your volume as they all have […]
Beautiful day with only a slight breeze. Sunny. 45 – brisk! To begin, just where is The Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge and what is it like? The Alligator River NWR is on the easternmost point of the mainland of North Carolina. The Alligator River is the western border of this refuge. What is this […]
Continuing from where I left off on the previous post …… It is the same day, only later in the morning. After we finished early morning birding in the park that bordered Pamlico Sound, we needed coffee and some sort of quick breakfast. We turned back on the highway and drove north and saw this […]

From where we live in central Illinois, we drove east toward Indiana. No destination in mind – just taking a long ride on a lovely fall day. And we did see a few birds. For me, it is never how many species, but the birds I am seeing – what are they doing? And I […]
I just added a Video starring an American Crow and its sidekick – another American Crow. I finally caught them rearranging the rocks in both birdbaths. Crows are amongst the most intelligent birds. And they are not just smart, they are clever. And as this video will show you, it seems to me they have […]
Earlier this week, Cleon and I drove about 25 miles to one of the cities closest to us to do some shopping – and to have a big breakfast that I did not have to cook. Always a real treat for me! As we drove home on the 15 miles of a divided 4-lane highway, […]
