Stephie said...: I do wish they were cleaner and that it was easier to clean them Edgar. If they weren't high up and difficult to reach & clean, I would :( Lately it's too cold outside to even try.

Raptors must be neat to see. Predators. I can understand why you don't see any smaller birds Heather. (they don't want to be lunch) I wonder how close you can get to them...every try to photograph them?; 8:33 PM

I have a really short attention span. (lack of sleep deprives me of the ability to focus...)

Why birds? Well, they're beautiful for one thing. My love of birds has evolved over time.

It started out as a temporary, safe, no-commitment transition from losing a pet, and not feeling ready to have another, to a long-term bird watching & bird feeding habit.

It's addicting. It's also work, and expense. But it's worth it to see some of these wild birds in my backyard (and anywhere else I can spot them). They're "company" and I enjoy their presence, their freedom, and their beauty.

Loving wild birds has led me to wanting a bird (or two) as a pet so now I also have pet parakeets.

They're the easiest to photograph since they're right here :) (and so cute) so they'll likely be featured here the most.
