The hummingbirds that come to my feeder never fail to amaze me. There is a steady stream of them. The other day I actually saw two feeding at the same time. There is such diversity in nature. Take birds for example. There are all sizes and all are colored differently. Woodpeckers and nuthatches hug the trunk of our large pine tree and seldom can be seen on the ground. The cardinals feed very warily on the ground and come in pairs. And occasionally there is a surprise like an indigo bunting or some other bird I usually don’t see. I keep a bird journal and note unusual visitors. All I do is make sure the feeders are always filled and from my large living room window watch the parade of birds come and go all day.

I call this “bird TV.” We watch it quite a bit……and it is never boring, though it can be sad when a huge hawk snags a plump pigeon. The titmice love peanuts, so we have been putting them on the statuary.

Yah, I still love watching birds after all these years. And you never know when a “new’ one will come about–a bird you never seen before.
