Here you can keep up with the activity going on in our backyard where birds love to eat, swim, and be merry! We have a big window-view all day long, where we can watch the birds without stressing them out. We take pictures through the glass with zoom lenses whenever we see something new going on, or a new bird is visiting. They all have pet names and we care very much about them.
Each morning fresh water is put in their pink bird-size pool and their pedestal bird bath. Then, wild bird seed is spread out all around the yard. They are active in the morning and late afternoon until the sun is going down.
During the day we go about our normal work routine, where we work from home, knowing we will not miss much until they start getting active again in the late afternoon. Everyday brings a new surprise that we try to catch on camera.
We hope you come back and visit as much as the birds do!
The following pictures were taken today, the first day of this blog (02/29/16) and we will add a ton of pictures on a regular basis. Be sure to check out our other pages for more bird fun.
