Hello Birdie

The world is a lot right now, so I want to suggest that you find some little delights to keep your spirits up. Perhaps start with birds. (And if that doesn’t work, there are always dogs.) Last May, I wrote about how I’d become a bird spy. A year later, I’m still obsessed with my birdcam.

What I love most about it is that I can observe the birds in my yard up close and personal. I can watch how they eat the birdseed and the cute little sounds and calls they make and the ways they interact with one another at the feeder. It really does feel like spying, but hopefully in a non-creepy way. I’m just interested in these creatures!

One of the things I especially like about the cam is that it alerts me when there’s a bird at the feeder. Sure, this can get to be a lot, since there are usually birds at the feeder. But oftentimes I get pinged when I’m not home and/or occupied elsewhere and it’s a lovely little reminder to look outside and see what’s happening in nature.

I might be in a board meeting in Washington DC, but I can see that there’s a Lazuli bunting at my feeder, and isn’t it pretty?
