I always appreciate birds in the winter and feel good about putting seed out for them (note: I'm not as generous in the summer). While there are plenty of the same species of birds, it's exciting to spot new ones. Therefore, I was thrilled to see what appears to be a pair of purple finches visiting the feeder, and the discovery was special enough to be my #momentinnature for this month.
This weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count, which is a fun community science project to do. If you haven't been counting, you have today and tomorrow to do so. If you've got kids or grandkids with you then get them involved; you might just spark a lifelong interest in birds and nature.
We were thrilled to see a male ruby crowned kinglet at our feeder today.
