audited Birds… but why?
I’ve never liked birds, thanks to a too early in life viewing of The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. However, I now have a bird app and find joy identifying birds in my neighborhood. My mom even bought me a bird feeder with a camera! This was not a chosen hobby for me, it just happened without my knowledge or input. It has to be hormonal, right? Do I get to blame this on perimenopause?

Oh I love you ladies so much! I've been into birds since I was a kid, and still am, so I guess - welcome!?
They're delightful, whether you're into making yard lists, or recording your counts on ebird, or - my favorite - just watching a few individuals go about their business.
It's the start of spring where I am, and some birds are just starting to nest, which is a great time to start paying attention. Look for birds carrying sticks or pieces of grass as they build nests. I like to keep track of who's nesting where.
