Don't know why, but I've always had an interest in bird watching. I also like pictures of birds, I have several decorative birds through out the house & I even have four Beanie Baby birds. Remember Beanie Babies? We once spent one of our family reunions in search of & purchasing Beanie Babies. Are they even worth (monetarily speaking) anything today?
I purchased this book to help with bird identification. I wish I had birds to identify, the six or so types of birds that come to our yard I can already identify. It is interesting reading about each bird thou.
The pictures are not that great. I didn't have the telephoto lens on the camera and I didn't want to get so close that I scared the robin away. The cardinal was taken through the family room window.
I love the bird bath!
ReplyDeleteI miss eastern birds. We have no cardinals here, and our blue jays (Stellar's Jays) are not as pretty. We do, however, enjoy our chickadees, bushtits, sparrows, and robins.
ReplyDeleteWhat I probably miss most is the geese migrations. This is the first place I have ever lived, I think, that is not on a Canada Geese flyway. We have geese, but we're a destination rather than a flyover.
There are lots of geese at the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge northwest of us on the Columbia River.
My favorite birds are the loons. Andy and I saw a couple once on a canoe trip at Ross Lake on the BC border. However, they are not common anywhere here like they are in the Adirondacks.
