BIRD WATCHING at home
I go out to my backyard to TAKE A BREAK, and GET
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, I'm greeted by my friends, A verse in the bible, comes to mind, "Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?". All of my daily problems don't seem so bad.

Social BookmarkingI have acquired an attachment to the Sparrows,
They seem to be growing in numbers daily!
Supplying a little variety to my bird watching, I occasionally get a visit from some more spectacular looking birds. Morning Doves, a Woodpecker, Nuthatch, my other favorite Robins,Black birds and the Dreaded crows.
both of which like to feed on my sparrows, and I have to say, I do not find amusing.
I have watched the birds interacting in various ways,
Whether in a large group, or just a pair, or flying in solo,
We have a walkway adjacent to our home and many times people have been walking by, and I wonder why are they not noticing this, oblivious to the birds constant chirping, all out fighting, or just lined up on the fence waiting for their turn to eat.
Its really quite amusing, that bible verse again comes to mind, they are busy getting their food for the day, which i gladly give them, I feel I owe them for the opportunity they give me to observe.

- I adore spending time in my yard just visiting all of the critters who share it with me. We have Bald Eagles, all sorts of hawks, pidgeons, sparrows, magpies, little stripey lizards, toads, and snakes in the summer, bunnies, coyotes, foxes, and all manner of buggies. I LOVE it!

- Beautiful photos. 5* and lensroll to my What is the name of this bird? lens. I am a photographer with lots of bird pictures and don't know the names of the birds. As the bird is identified, a new unknown bird will be posted. Maybe you will know the name. www.squidoo.com/identify-birds.

- I enjoyed visiting your back yard, it looks so relaxing. I love watching the birds and squirrels in our back yard too. My absolute favorites to watch are the chickadees, mourning doves and cardinals. Luckily they all come at different times of the year so we have a full viewing schedule. Best wishes!
