I enjoyed reading your post and viewing the photos. I am a bird enthusiast myself, and I love bird feeding the most.

Nice that they coincide. <br /><br />The last time I spotted a mocking bird, it was in eastern PA. It took me a minute because he was crooking like a toad from the high tree top! Funny thing to hear. But he soon changed his tune, as they always do. <br /><br />I hope your count turns up more fun this week! <br />JulieWife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-26652984406109767522012-02-21T21:03:48.356-05:002012-02-21T21:03:48.356-05:00Hurray, I got rid of that awful word verification!...Hurray, I got rid of that awful word verification!

My dad suffered a heart attack at the end of April last year, he had to have stents put in, but is fine again now. It's amazing how far medicine has come and just what they can do nowadays. I missed our Garden Birdwatch this year as I had other commitments, but I do love to watch the birds feeding in the garden any time. You have some wonderful birds where you are, especially the bluebird, that would be my favourite, but how wonderful to see a mockingbird.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-4105390904035615222012-02-21T04:02:06.039-05:002012-02-21T04:02:06.039-05:00I much enjoyed reading your posting and love the p...I much enjoyed reading your posting and love the pictures of all your emerging plants - I love this time of year - full of surprises of plants forgotton about from the previous year.

In my garden I have seen only mourning doves, hummers, blue jays, and an occasional crow, although my husband saw a hawk a few weeks ago. Thank you for the book review, and as obvious as it seems, I am ashamed to say that I never thought about the advantage of planting native plants to attract birds!dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338187523349055470noreply@blogger.com
