Trying to go through life, embracing joy, adventure, and hope. ♥️ I have also really gotten into birds.
Ugh. I love this dog so much.

One of the best pictures I have ever taken… the snow is bringing some beautiful moments with the birds.

I am amazed! I have never seen the Aurora with my naked eye… but tonight I could. Excuse me while I completely nerd out and squeal!

Do I maybe need to get a life that involves doing more than staring at birds during my downtime? Maybe.
Do I squeal in excitement every time I see birds interacting with my feeders and water? Heck yeah I do!
Do I need more validation in my life? Probably.

It’s one of those Mondays where all I want to do is cry.
At least I got a mocha latte, a fire in the fireplace, and a corgi who loves me… which is quite a lot to be grateful for… but still I want to cry.

It’s happening! The colder weather is bringing all the birds to the yard! Water heater is a success!

It’s been quite the weekend! Found the kitty’s owner who has been missing her for over 3 weeks. Then transitioning Halloween decorations to Thanksgiving decorations. Annnnd adding a heater to my bird bath. Success? I think so.

A Downy Woodpecker and a Red-Bellied Woodpecker sharing a snack! Loving all the birds who have been coming to the feeders. First year doing seed and water through the seasons.

This lady goldfinch is a frequent morning visitor. She always looks so prim and proper as she delicately eats from the bird feeders.

I found a cat. She’s so tiny and underweight, I assumed she was just a kitten. Turns out the poor thing is two years old!
She’s so sweet… 🥹 Trying to see if maybe she has a home that misses her…

Yeeeeee!!! I was so worried that the cylinder bird feeder I got, especially for the woodpeckers, was a bust after multiple days of no activities.
Looked out this morning and I had a little Downy and a Red-bellied, one on each side! I did get some pictures. Will show later!

Another chickadee visitor. My next step is learning how to work on photo editing. Any suggestions?

So one of the interesting observations I have made since really paying attention to the birds this year, is how the types of birds really change throughout the seasons. This is the first time I really saw and even knew of Dark-eyed Juncos. And I really love these fluffy guys.

As I feel like so much is out of my control… I try to find joy where I can. Like watching this cute little guy eat a berry.

Trying to get some practice with my camera while enjoying the birds. I got a soft spot for chickadees after saving one from a building during my first date with my now-husband.

Today was such a great bird day! The chickadees and nuthatches were hard at working, caching their seeds for the winter. #birding #birdfeeders

The more the world sucks, the more I have gotten into bird watching.
