Hello All!
Once again the Great Backyard Bird Count (or GBBC) has sneaked up on me. I've two sisters with birthdays around these days, so I'm always distracted with birthday preparations. Luckily, to participate, you need offer no more than at least one bird watching event for 15-minute minutes or longer. Of course, participating every day during these four days would be great, too!
To learn more about it, check out the GBBC web site:
I just invested about 20 minutes recording the birds coming to my bird tray loaded with black-oil sunflower seeds. I won't both you with the specific counts on each, but here's a list of the visiting bird species. And here's a blurry photo (sorry) of a White-breasted Nuthatch and a male House Finch.
American Goldfinch
House Sparrow
Downy Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Dark-eyed Junco
White-breasted Nuthatch
Northern Cardinal
Blue Jay
Tufted Titmouse
Black-capped Chickadee
Here's hoping you can join the GBBC of 2023! Until next time . . . .

Hello There.....
I use to know someone that went by the handle of @ofthewing on Twitter. She was really into birds and growing Sunflowers and reading. I really enjoy your books and your posts on https://ofthewing.com/. I lived in that neck of the woods most of my life but am retired and now live in the Great Sequoia National forest hiking, growing, and just living. I'm trying to navigate your site as it's fascinating. I wake up everyday to the Giant Sequoia and the chirping of all types of birds. You have a very lovely site Ms Butler. If you'd like give me a chirp back.
‘May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand’
