Return of the Finches

Springtime and the yellow finches have returned to our front yard. May father’s favorite bird, and mine too. This one enjoyed feeding in the late rain today (Mike Barzacchini photos).

Scenes From a Winter's Day

The days are gradually getting longer. Temperatures today rose to something almost above bearable. The sun rose and shined. And these scenes from this winter’s day warmed me.

Remedies: Bird Watching

Happy National Bird day. One of our best decisions of 2020 was creating a bird haven in our front yard with feeders, wildflowers, and a busy birdbath just outside my home office (formerly our dining room) window. A few minutes of bird watching throughout the day provides a great respite from a solid schedule of Zoom calls. To celebrate January 5, National Bird Day, here are a few images of our feathered friends from yesterday and today.
