It's Backyard Bird Weekend

For anyone out there that is interested or has kids that love birds....today through the 16th is the Great Backyard Birdwatch. We have been looking forward to this for weeks now. We participated last year and it was so much fun to see Avery get excited about birds. Last year it was like the watch pot that never boiled...we had tons of birds until we were making a concerted effort to sit there and watch them. However I have great hope for this year. We have plenty of birds here and we just might make another trip back to the river to see if we can spot those eagles again for the count. So have fun, click on my link and count some birds!!!!

Maybe I'll be a kid and try this at least one day, probably while I'm away.

Hi,
I wanted you to know that I love birds. Saturday was warm and I sat out on the deck and birdwatched. I have a bird book and mark everyone I see eating out of my birdfeeder. Try looking up Junco's, Nuthatcher, blue jays, sparrows and Tohee. Then you will see some of the birds that shop by our house.
