backyard birding

Wordless Wednesday

Peeping Toms?

No, really, neighbors to the rear, our high-powered telescope usually used to look at the moon and stars is not really pointing directly through the fence cracks into your backyard. Really. It’s just that we’ve discovered that we really like looking at the yellow and red bodied birds that flock to the feeding sock in our back yard up close and personal without scaring them off. Really. Honest.

Not the bird we were expecting when we hung the bird feeder in the backyard! This hawk hopped from our fence to the neighbors’ shed, then bushes. It seemed to be hunting for something in the honeysuckle but we never saw what. Very exciting bird viewing moment for the family.
