A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a nest in one of our trees. I hadn’t noticed much activity in the nest so, I left it alone. Today, I checked the nest and there were two baby birds poking their heads up! They are brand new babies because their eyes aren’t even open yet! I […]
Unexpected Roof-top Visitor!
About a week ago, I came across this post from one of my friends in Texas! A bald eagle landed on their roof top! What are the chances of that happening?! They live west of Houston and their neighbors had alerted them of their special visitor. It stayed long enough for them to snap a few […]
Hummingbird Haven
Today was cloudy and rainy but my feeders were busy! Which I love! My favorites today were the hummingbirds! Since I’ve added a few more feeders to the yard and I’ve started making my own nectar it seems like we are attracting a more hummingbirds. Last year, one little guy was so territorial that I’d never […]
Memorial Day Weekend
First, I’d like to salute the men and women who served to protect our country. Thank you to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and the families who live with their loss. We must remember how much freedom cost, and we must be thankful. My son, Alex, took this pic of a Bald Eagle at the […]
A drop of yellow sunshine
This afternoon, we had a few drops of yellow sunshine in our yard….a couple of American Gold Finches! They are so bright and beautiful! They are easily identified by their bright yellow feathers and black cap. We watched them for a few minutes and then I ran to get the camera. I was surprised they […]
Front Porch Birding on a Sunday afternoon
Today was such a great day! Absolutely beautiful weather and it was a great day for being (a little) lazy and bird watching! I snapped several pictures of cardinals and woodpeckers. It seemed like the birds flocked to our yard all afternoon so it was quite enjoyable….except for one occasional visitor…my husband! He spent the day sneaking […]
What’s on the menu? Bird seed!
I’d like to talk a little bit about bird seed. If you want to attract song birds to your yard, it’s important to get the right bird seed. There is all kind of seed on the market and I’ve tried a few different kinds. However, the one that I find the birds love is The […]
“Woody” is back!
A few more pics that I took of “Woody”!
Spring Update!
Spring is finally here & I’m so glad! I love spring time and how everything is blooming and coming to life after the winter months. I love the way the sun is still up when I get home from work in the evenings. It allows for a little more time to bird watch. This morning, […]
Friday was a Snow Day In Memphis
This past Friday morning, the snow started falling around 4am and it was coming down pretty heavy! It actually covered the ground and roadways causing me to rethink the drive in to work. The roads get really slick here and a lot of roads were closed. Therefore, I kept the news on and followed the […]
