For those of you who have been to our home, you know we are fortunate to have a great bird sanctuary... with the leaves gone from the trees, we see so much more bird activity. Yesterday during dinner time we noticed Mr. Owl. It was almost too dark to get a good picture, but we were pleased to get a photograph of him - just as he turned his face towards us. Just the day before we had been discussing that it had been quite some time since we last saw an owl. He must have heard us!
And we have had so many cardinal lately! It is wonderful - we have seen 5 males and 3 females at the same time. They are extending their habitat into our territory and we couldn't be happier about that. Right now, they sit out in the trees during our supper hour and it was really fun on Tuesday evening when Daniel and Meghan and the children were here for supper because we all enjoyed counting cardinals.
This is one of the largest birds we have - it is a pileated woodpecker and is about 15 inches in length. This picture doesn't really show how big he is. Maybe I should just have a blog about birds?
