It has become my new habit to go birding on Saturday mornings. I’m the early “bird” in our house, so it’s usually just me. I’ve also decided to keep visiting the same place. I love how I’ve come to know this place. I know where I will see bluebirds…

…and I know that the pair of red-tail hawks will be screaming and I’ll see the Eastern kingbirds when I hit the back meadow.

It’s becoming familiar, but there are is also something new each time I visit! Today I was surprised by a resting hummingbird.

I also added a new warbler to my lifelist (black and white warbler), and I was serenaded by a Common yellowthroat!


I’m enjoying seeing new plants pop up, and new flowers each time.





Wren picked Abide with Me for her hymn of comfort. It is such a comforting tune. We hope you enjoy.
Wren, that was beautiful! Thank you.
Kristen, I wish I could tag along with you to see these beautiful things. You are an amazing photographer!
