“Must be something dead,” my husband mentions as we drive down the road towards the county park where we walk. “Yep!,” I agree as I look ahead at the numerous vultures congregating in a tree and in and along the road.

Northern Cardinal Bird
Have you ever wondered where on earth all those Northern Cardinal birds (some people call them redbirds) come from when the temperatures start to freeze and snow is on the ground? On a cold winter day you can look out your frosted window and spot dozens of these beautiful red birds mostly feeding on […]

A Big Year in Birding
A Big Year in Birding Every year on New Year’s Eve or a few days before, my husband Jeff and I watch the movie “The Big Year,” starring Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson. We watch it because it is not only funny with these three actors but is based on a true story. It […]
