Post a CommentExcellent article as always. Thanks!
WOnderul stuff Lee. I love bird watching. We have a bird bath and a bird feeder and a book on identifying birds, so we would love this as a family.
excellent article!
I love bird watching and we just had our first hummingbird arrive a few days ago. I immediately put up the feeder and he's been our guest for several days now.
Why yes, I am! This sounds like a great activity!
Sometimes I watch birds outside my window.
Great Lee, the birds are so beautiful and busy this time of year!
Oh how I wish I lived close enough to go. It would be so fun! Thanks for the info ... hope you get to attend, and then you could write an article and tell us all about it. :)
