Watching Birds

 

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.
