Happy Valentine’s Day 💕


Phil predicts an early spring.

This dramatic photo of a Black-billed Magpie comes from “Soaring Sights” in Casper, WY.

How many pull-ups can this Northern Cardinal do?

Another satisfied diner at my Bird Buddy


Steller’s Jay landing on (not my) Bird Buddy

I’m nuts about this snack! 🥜

I started putting a seed mix from Happy Birdwatcher in my Bird Buddy. This attracted
new species.


A new bird visited my Bird Buddy feeder tonight. This is a Yellow-rumped Warbler.



The sky was looking ominous so I asked Siri, “Surely, it’s not going to rain today?”
And she replied, “Yes it is, and don’t call me Shirley.”
That was when I realized I’d left my phone on Airplane mode.

Dog: What’s that pill?
Me: It’s flea and tick protection.
Dog: You can’t give that to me, I promised John, Paul, George and Ringo they could stay.
Me: You named your fleas?
Dog: Yes, they’re The Fleatles.

Perfect landing for this Chickadee. Now it’s time for a snack.

Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.

Two of the cutest birds in our neighborhood visited my Bird Buddy this morning.
