November Birds

Well, I'm happy to report I can stop whining about the lack of birds in my yard. You might remember, I started birding this past February...so I don't have a full year's cycle under my belt yet. I had no idea birds just up and dissappear in October. It was shocking, bewildering and a little scary, if ya ask me. How one can go from hundreds of birds at the feeders in the yard to zip for days at a time is beyond me! But...all is well and all my little buddies are returning. I'm participating in C… Continue

Leucistic Eagle

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Leucistic Golden Eagle found down here in SoCo a couple weeks ago. Did you guys hear about it? I posted the story on my blog...with quotes, links and photos from the papers...as well as an update a day or so later. It's a beautiful, but very sick young bird which may make a compl… Continue

Books on Birds; What's Your Fav?

I am a reader; I like to research, I enjoy reference books…especially on topics close to my heart. I don’t believe one can have too many books on a subject…but then I am book rich and money poor. LOL Okay, so I’m on a limited budget…I have a couple books on birds and know I want to enlarge my library. I think another ‘general’ field guide to birds I’m apt to see might be a good idea. While I’m interested in all birds…I doubt I’m going to be heading to exotic countries where I might have trouble… Continue

Summer is here!

First of all, I'd like to invite anybody who can make it down to La Veta (~3 hrs south of Denver) on June 14th for our AVAS Bird Walk. You can read details here. The folks with AVAS are great...as are most birders, huh? I've never met a nicer bunch of people! A couple of us who feed birds will open up our yards to be included on the hike...yours truly included. It should be fun! I can say that, havi… Continue

Birds in the natural world

As I grow in my birding, and learn how to watch them...I am more and more interested in photographing them in the natural world and not at my feeders. Still, I have neither the equipment nor the knowledge really, in where to find them...to do much else. Yet. I discuss this and other issues in my blog. The folks who can catch an image in a bush or on a beach just astound me. Good birding!!! Continue

What a day for a birdwalk

My new friends Stirling and Lyn picked me up just before our scheduled meeting at 6:30 a.m. and caught me filling up bird feeders. I hurried out the door; we got as far as the end of my block when we realized I’d forgotten my Sibley’s…they graciously insisted we turn around so I could retrieve the field guide and we were off on our adventure. Two of us had never been ‘birding’ before, so we were quite excited. We were to meet up with the AVAS group and their 4th Saturday Birdwalk at the Greenwa… Continue

Blogging & a Very Old Osprey

Generally, I blog about birds here: ...but I wanted to share this little article I ran across today: Osprey lays record 50th egg amid tight security SCOTLAND'S oldest breeding osprey yesterday produced a record 50th egg. The egg is also the first to be produced by an osprey in Scotland this year. Staff at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes reserve near Dunkeld, Perth-shire, were delighted when the resident female laid the eg… Continue
