Is watching birds different from being a bird watcher? Maybe, I am not sure. And actually, I don't so much "watch" the birds as listen to them. I use an app on my phone called "Merlin" that picks up the bird song and identifies the bird. I do this pretty much every morning. Then I write done what birds I have heard plus the date and the temperature as you can see in my little notebook above.
Is there any purpose in this activity? Nahh, it just feels like I am doing a thing and I like doing it. I wonder if, one day my notebook will be found and someone will think I am a great ornithological genius. Or they might just think "Grandma/ Mom was sure weird"
Every morning unless it's raining, I feed Buddy on the deck. I cannot remember if I did this before we lived in this house. I think I did. It's a nice peaceful time. Buddy eating and me listening to the birds drinking my coffee. Usually in my pajamas and if it's cold, also in my winter coat.
