One Bird, Two Bird, Red Bird, Blue Bird

It's Great Backyard Bird Count weekend! And I spend the morning counting my little backyard buddies, as I sit in my rocking chair and sip my morning coffee. In less than an hour, I record 18 different species in my little townhouse habitat.

This morning is no different than other weekend mornings, except for the counting aspect. I find such great joy in "my birds." I am glad that I can supply sustenance and help them survive the winter.

My bird guides and binocs sit nearby. I am continually looking at birdie mugshots, reading birdie facts, scanning birdie maps and listening to birdie songs. They are fascinating and amazing! And they brighten my life. Tweet Tweet
