If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. Any good bird sighting deserves to be shared and enjoyed. So fire away!

Because being a birder means you experience life through that framework. And, as he did a decade ago, the joys and benefits of birding.

Between running errands, working late and worrying about the bottom-line, it’s no wonder our four-legged and winged friends so often go overlooked and neglected. In the fast-paced world of today, it seems people are always on the go. Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries.

It would use that mini rapier of a beak to full poking effect if the hapless human tried to take a sip from its feeder, or pick one of its flowers, or even neglect to fill the feeder on time. I’m sorry, but the ravenous mini, modern dinos are jerks. C’est moi, Green-crowned Brilliant , le jerk!
