Bird fun

Hello,
I now have 3 bird feeders next to the carport. Yep, the squirrels found them first. I've had a few feathered friends-Purple Finches to visit and I hope they tell their friends.

Grandma Ruth introduced me to the joy of bird watching as a child. We visited Grandma most Sundays and it was from her big picture window where I came to love  birds. I think her favorite bird was the "redbird"-Northern Cardinal (redbird of happiness).  Her second favorite was the "snowbird" -Dark-Eyed Junco. It seemed to always snow the next day or two after the snowbird visited.

Later in my teen years Mama and Daddy always had bird feeders. They kept the fun of birding alive long after Grandma Ruth had passed. I sometimes wonder which Florida bird would have been her favorite?..

Here in Florida I enjoy seeing the birds at the beaches, salt marshes, mangroves, slash pine forests, hammocks, state parks, Gatorland, and of course bird feeders.

What are some of my favorite birds? Chickadees, Kites, Woodpeckers and Pelicans. Birds are fun to watch and get to know.
