The kitties love the warm months as much as we do. Having the patio door open to watch birds and listen to their morning chorus is better than any TV show!

Yellow Finch Bird

Here is a Bullocks Oriole visiting my yard last Spring. This is another beautiful bird that I can't wait to see again this spring.

I tried a new method of swapping out the background of an image here. I spent way too much time working on that background color and still am not really happy with it but will be interested to see others opinions.

I may be missing an eye, but I can still see and I'm the alpha male whether you believe it or not.

Fredvang is located on the island of Moskenesøya in the Lofoten archipelago. The village is fairly isolated with the Fredvang Bridges being the only road connection to the village from the rest of Norway.

Birds in our garden.

I made a little video too, here is the link.

I wouldn't normally put up two images but just had to include some birds as they are one of the things that bring me great joy in the neighbourhood.

One of the benefits of living on the edge of suburbia is the bird suprises, especially the raptors as there are still large ares of grassland to hunt. I have only included a few here but they are either the characters of the neighbourhood or the big surprises.

Last week I walked out my front door to find an Australian Hobby on the antenna across the road. A first for me and I was such a birdie nerdie, I couldn't stop the excited chatter. No-one quite understood my delirium.

I have seen Emus on about five occasions, probably escapees from emu farms and my pièce de résistance was the Lathams Snipe.
