Once again, this is why I should never leave my easy chair in front of our windows. Cleon was looking out over the lake when he spotted a large dark silhouette in our neighbor’s large oak tree. Of course, the bird was on the far side of the tree, so we were looking at it […]
I was not quick enough to get a photo – probably because I was rooted to the spot. But a few minutes ago, I was looking out the window at the bird feeders and a Blue Jay was drinking, then taking a bath in the larger bird bath. When all of a sudden, a bird […]
Englewood Metro Park. Dayton, OH https://www.metroparks.org/places-to-go/englewood/ There are 4 separate areas that make up Englewood Metro Park.
