Hang in there!

Some days, life feels like clinging to a suet cage in the wind—cold, wobbly, and a little ridiculous. But stay strong, keep pecking, and don’t let go. The good stuff is worth the effort!

And here is the last bird photo I took, a Long-Eared Owl.

Please remember to give owls their space and do not stay long. I was about 20 feet back across a ditch and it was about 20 feet up.

Today was Red-Winged Blackbird Day. It was cold as hell but the blackbirds were out in force singing to each other and putting on quite the show. It was really fun to watch.

I use #birdwatching and #photography to clear my mind. For me, it's being #mindful of everything surrounding me even when I don't find birds. The colors, the smells, the #silence, the #calm. On this day, it was the beauty of #spiderwebs.

It was a golden day! I was able to capture a Golden-crowned Sparrow and a wily little Golden-crowned Kinglet!

Cross each bridge as you come to it, embracing the moment and the beauty around you. Pause, look up, and let the birds remind you to savor life.

Did you know that Hummingbirds can't walk or hop like other birds? It's because they have underdeveloped legs. 🤔🪺🪶
