Birds, Birds, Birds

A little gift for birds swings in a tree in our front yard.  I am trying to attract colorful birds, like Cardinoles, Blujays, etc.  So far, I have 4 Cardinoles, and a couple of what appears to be Blu Birds.  We also have a couple of Humming Birds. 

On a side note, I have to laugh at myself.  As a child, I found birdwatching a very strange and boring passtime of older adults.  Perhaps a telltale sign of aging.  So, here I am, over 50, and birdwatching!  Very funny!



Lola just loves her yard!
 

 As you walk toward the river, the incline becomes a bit steep.  We decided to investigate the area a bit more.  This is an area called Devils Elbow (Road, Camp Ground, Dock, etc).  The Camp Ground and picnic area are no longer taken care of.  This land now belongs to the Corp of Engineers.  From what we have learned, the Corp of Engineers have no plans on turning this back into a usable recreational sight.  Quite a shame.   As you can see in the next few pictures, there are solid cement picnic tables, fire rings, electrical hookups, etc. 



 More birds to come . . .

That's funny about bird watching. I've never been a fan either but when I saw a hummingbird at our last house, I was determined to get it come back bc I found it fascinating!
