Intersecting Bird Lives and a Store Closing
Welcome! I hope I bring a spot of calm and happiness into these uncertain times. I blog about flowers, gardening, my photography adventures, life in upstate New York, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.I've been spending an increasing amount of time in my small backyard, where my shade loving plants grow, and where birds and other wildlife visit.
This business has nourished so many people, especially when the pandemic kept many of us home and started a love of watching birds in us and others. The staff of the store were happy to teach, and were quick with advice. We learned so much from them. During last winter, we marveled at our native birds, who dealt just fine with snow on the ground, and faced ice cold with only feathers to protect them. They braved weather that would have had me bundled up in the entire inventory of a sporting goods store.We watched in late spring as male goldfinches molted from winter drab greenish brown into bright yellow.
And then there were the juvenile birds. Last year, we never noticed them as we were too busy learning about the adults. But now the parents, comfortable at our feeders, are introducing their offspring.
