Bald Is Beautiful?

By Carol on Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

Not sure if bald is always so beautiful… actually a blue jay without his head feathers is kinda spooky looking. Quite a few of the blue jays have lost their head feathers all at the same time. Not sure why but it does make them look so funny. Seems to happen almost every summer. The [...]

Bird Watching

By Carol on Sunday, August 1st, 2010 | No Comments

Twiggy loves to watch whatever is happening on the deck. There’s usually something that catches her eye. She was sitting on the couch with me and suddenly jumped up and snuck to the window. A female cardinal was poking around less than a foot away.

My New Bird Feeder

Ever Hear of an Oven Bird

By Carol on Monday, April 19th, 2010 | No Comments

Yesterday evening, my cat and I heard a loud thump. It was funny because at the same time, we both looked around then back to each other (she was sitting in front of my computer monitor). Her eyes got big and we decided to go see what made the noise. Looking out my front window, [...]
