Seriously, I spend lots of time "spotting" those turkey vultures and various birds of prey out the car window (I try not to do this while driving!) and we just put up a bird feeder a little while ago. We get the gold finches, white-crowned sparrows, white throated sparrows, and lots of LBJ's I haven't quite identified. <br />And, I did some serous research to figure out how to get rid of the red-winged blackbirds....which reminds me of my conversation with Nick one day while watching your Mom's bird feeder off the deck--"So, Nick, what do you call those red winged black birds"....in a deadpan voic: "Ummm....red-winged-black-birds, I believe."<br />Too funny....<br /><br />Hope you see this comment....otherwise I am talking to myself. :)Carol Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458688713563779254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922814317344909760.post-61675844198760909662011-04-24T15:02:32.176-07:002011-04-24T15:02:32.176-07:00LBJ's?

Just got a metal shepherd's crook looking item from the garden store to hang the preschooler's Earth Day bird feeder project from, and waiting to see if the squirrels or birds get it first.KMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324900365817177730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922814317344909760.post-41550674764023853232011-04-21T14:22:54.120-07:002011-04-21T14:22:54.120-07:00I'm not really a bird person, but I have to sa...I'm not really a bird person, but I have to say, it's pretty awesome to see hawks and herons on a regular basis along with the occasional bald eagle. We also have a horrid bush in our side yard whose redeeming quality is being a Cardinal sanctuary in the winter. Way to embrace your hobby!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890777544148622190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922814317344909760.post-52563416465908643862011-04-20T19:08:30.410-07:002011-04-20T19:08:30.410-07:00Oh really, Reenie?

I am prone these days to walking into a room on the back of the house, getting distracted by activity at the feeder, and forgetting why I am where I am. Not to mention yelling, "don't move!" when the girls walk near the windows and threaten to disturb the activity. So much fun!!!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631988586302990831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922814317344909760.post-72631598930786785132011-04-18T09:58:51.144-07:002011-04-18T09:58:51.144-07:00James-Ha!

Although - had I not encountered that prior to my bird-conversion I wonder if I would think that it was all that weird. <br />Kelli - Great to hear from you! You and John should really take up bird-watching. In fact, with your name I think you kind of HAVE to.Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954534617276979985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922814317344909760.post-53562512703165358202011-04-18T07:20:02.278-07:002011-04-18T07:20:02.278-07:00As long as you do not begin freezing the dead ones...As long as you do not begin freezing the dead ones in your garage freezer in order study them I think you are ok.Uncle Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922814317344909760.post-17507658612945339002011-04-18T06:37:19.833-07:002011-04-18T06:37:19.833-07:00"They are not all sparrows.

SO exciting!" .... <br /><br />Thank you, we love you, too!! John is going to LOVE this post- he is trying to convince me we are not too old to start bird-watching together and he is setting up various feeders in the backyard. <br /><br />God bless!John and Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671219421286678879noreply@blogger.com
