It’s that time of year again… for watching the wild birds at my bird feeder.
Watching wild birds at my bird feeder has been a long-time family tradition, one passed down from grandma to son, son to daughter—hey! That’s me!
Yes… I do watch wild birds all year long—Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. You’ll usually see me—“chasing” them around… frequently with camera in hand.
However, watching wild birds at a bird feeder is different. No chasing at all… just watching from my rocking chair peering out my window with my camera mounted to a tripod pointing outward… easy peasy!
Be Prepared For Photos!
I take a lot of photos from the comfort of my glider chair.
I read here…
I write here…
and I enjoy my little feathered companions here.
I also love to share the photos I take…
I share them on Facebook… Instagram… sometimes Twitter, sometimes Pinterest…

So, here is a list of the wild birds that are frequent feeders in my yard.
