But I never get to see the variety of birds that I would if I made a trip to a specific location to dedicate some time to birding.

I especially enjoy seeing… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 133. Today I was able to get outside for a little bird watching at home. Some birds are so bold. They will fly right by me or land right up close to me. Other birds are more standoffish. They watch from a distance and mostly wait for me to leave before appearing anyplace close to where I am. The Northern Cardinals in my yard always seem… Read More
