Bird Watching

By Julie Shoemaker

I live in the country and really enjoy all of the wild life I see here. I've always been a bird lover, as was my mother. In the dead of winter, it is often the only sound I hear. It is estimated that approximately 300 birds a day visit my feeders, and I am able to view them from my kitchen or dining room table.

Getting a photograph through the window isn't ideal, but this is one of my cardinals that visits regularly.

Thought I would share a little ATC (Artist Trading Card) of what I call 'Winter Bird'. At the end of the day, just before the sun sets, the last of the birds will arrive to feed in the twilight.
