Jan. 22, 2008~ Birdwatching at Breakfast ~ |
I have been missing the trees and the birds that lived in them at our old house. So I was delighted to receive a bird feeder stand for Christmas. You see, our back yard has no trees!!
(We hope to rectify that this Spring.)
In no time I had our bird feeders hung and then the wait began.
Would they come?
It took a little while but slowly the word spread and for the last few mornings we've had birds at our feeders. It's been exciting for the whole family!! How neat to see my 9yr old son go running for his binoculars so he can get a better look!
During breakfast this morning, we spotted 4 different types of birds: Stellar's Jays, Chickadees, Starlings and another little bird that we haven't identified yet. It was mostly light brown, with no distinct markings and smaller than a Chickadee. My guess is that's some type of finch, but it was hard to identify it in our nature guide.
So, we did "Starling" nature sketches today:
Thanks for visiting! |

How exciting. I love watching "our" birds and they do make wonderful subjects for our nature journals.

How fun for the kids :) Bird watching is really exciting isn't it *grin* Monarda is really easy to grow since it likes poor soil. You don't need to feed it lots of manure or compost or anything if you don't want to and it is usually pretty good about spreading to :) I just love the look of the blooms.
Do you have sunshine today? We got lucky and it is just beautiful here! Were going to head outdoors shortly for another nature wander *grin*
Blessings,
