Birdwatching

As far as wildlife goes, birds are the most prolific. So I suppose it is natural that my interest in photography has turned into a birdwatching hobby. It has become my goal to seek out and collect pictures of as many different types of birds as I can. Here are a few I gathered recently. If you feel that I've identified a bird wrong, please correct me.

American Avocet

Broad-winged Hawk

Pied-billed Grebe

Ring-necked Duck

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway.
