What a wonderful cold morning in Tennessee! We woke up to temperatures in the 20s after spending Saturday in the 70s! At 6:30am, I peeked out the window (because we heard some chirping) and there was a male and female cardinal at the feeders. A little later, a few Black Capped Chickadees and a Titmouse […]
Cool stuff going on in the Bird World!
I It’s Time to Vote! (and not just for President) First of all, can you believe it’s November already?! I just received the latest issue of my favorite magazine in the mail, “Birds & Blooms”. I love the cover because I love winter birds! This issue is packed with lots of good stuff but, most importantly […]
Weekend Housekeeping: Keep feeders clean & full.

Hummingbird watch
Last Sunday, the temps were only in the 80’s so I was able to get out and do some bird watching! My newest loves are my hummingbirds! They were very active today so I sat outside and snapped a few pics. I’ve only spotted three frequent hummers. But, we have one hummingbird that perches in […]
Hummingbird clip
I finally got a decent clip of a hummingbird at my feeder! I’m still not sure what kind of hummingbird yet, but I was super excited to catch him so close. Luckily he stayed longer than I expected and I was able to get pretty good footage. I shot it in ‘slo-mo’ on my phone […]
