Are you fascinated by birds, their ability to escape the confines of earth with flight, their marvelous color patterns and not in the least, their song?
Have you complied a life list over the years? What are your favorites among those birds you have seen and heard?
Having watched and studied birds most of my life and compiled a substantial life list from various parts of the country and beyond, I have my favorites amongst the group and they are now prominently displayed on the wall in my great room as seen on the right.
It might even be fun to include your state bird in the center of that group. I am in the process of including all the state birds in my collection. Enter the gallery by clicking on any of the images or on the gallery link above, and see what you like.
Today is the first day of 2020 AD. The ice storm has moved on but the effects still remain with temperatures in the low 20’s Fahrenheit. The view is beautiful; a winter wonderland wherever you look. However, the birds probably have a different take on their environment today. This morning, I was inundated with a plethora of goldfinches in their winter garb. So glad the feeders were full and ready for them. A mourning bird or two took advantage of the seeds that were dropped on the ground. Shortly the chickadees, woodpeckers, titmice, blue jays and juncos will stop by along with our cardinal couple. Looks like I will be monitoring and filling the feeders more than once today. Happy New Year to all!
