Had a funny moment today. In a matter of ten minutes four different species of woodpecker landed on one perch. Almost as if they were taking turns. Now I want to make this perch a patch just to see what else I can get on it.

Sorry I've been so inactive on here lately.

We've had a whirlwind of things going on lately, including..........Drum roll please.............................our family grew by one!   My oldest sister got married this last Sat. (the 13th). It was a gorgeous wedding - I was a jr. Bridesmaid (I cried more than I am willing to admit......) - Yes, to answer your unasked question, I love her new husband. He is a great guy, they clearly love each other. He jokes around a lot too and he also teases me a lot but it is a loving teasing not meant to hurt. (like my brothers do sometimes ?)

A shot the photographer took of the bride and groom.

I had an interesting morning:

I was photographing birds in my yard when a cop pulls up and asks me what I'm doing. I said I was Birdwatching, and she said someone called and said I was taking photographs of them (:classic_blink:). I was able to prove that I wasn't by showing her the Bird pictures on my camera. Nothing happened, but I've never been stopped by a cop before.

And you were in your yard?

Does anybody else here play any instruments? I play piano and I'm currently working on the longest piece I've ever done by far:

No, I don't......I wish I could play piano but I don't want to take the time to learn it.  I can only play Hot Cross Buns.............?

This is beautiful but so long! I applaud your patience!

Haha yeah! I'm like 3/4 of the way through it and I started at the beginning of the semester... I actually really love piano. Whenever I'm down I just go play piano and it makes me happy :classic_biggrin:

Hey y'all, how about we make this a bit more lively! Drew (crazed4birds) had a year bird competition before the crash, so maybe we could restart that! If everyone's on board, I'll ask every week for everyone's yearlists and post an updated leaderboard. (Btw if the older folks want to chime in, that would be great - I don't think we have enough young birders to make it work)
