We Love Birding 

We have been birders for over 30 years, probably longer. Since we were both children we spent most of our free time outdoors observing nature's fantastic creatures. I would tromp around the hills and dales on our ranch in north Louisiana and Al would spend the day in Audubon Park at the zoo, the lagoon and the hatchery.

Birds are such fascinating creatures that they soon became our favorite animal to observe. When we married and bought our first house, we put up bird feeders and baths and began to plant trees, shrubs and flowers that would provide food and nesting sites for the songbirds in our area. Before we knew it, we had created a backyard wildlife habitat that attracted a variety of permanent residents and migrants. Our life list grew and many of the more unusual sightings were in our own backyard.

Most birders feed the birds and many like to garden for them as we do. Birding is a hobby that you can enjoy during all stages of your life, from childhood on through your elder years.

Eastern Bluebird Puzzle 

For Big & Little Birders

bluebirdpuzzlenaturemallEastern Bluebird Puzzle from NatureMall
This beautiful bird is a favorite of many people; sighting the brilliantly colored male in spring is a welcome relief from the dreary northeastern winter. Bluebirds nest in tree cavities, fence posts and, recently, bird boxes, on open farmland with scattered trees. Uncommon for many years, the Eastern Bluebird is making a comeback, at least in part because of nestbox programs. The unmistakable voice of the bluebird in flight is a melodious warble or (chur-lee.+ Bluebirds range east of the Rockies from Southern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. They are often seen perched on fence posts, from which they drop down to the ground to catch insects. Their diet also consists of small fruits and berries, especially in the winter.
