Do you like to bird watch? I never did until we moved to this place a few years ago. We have lots of different birds and it is fun trying to identify them. I have always loved hummingbirds but last year we spotted a Painted Bunting. I was wondering if it would come back this year and just about 2 days ago I spotted it again. I have purchased a remote shutter release thingy for my camera so I am going to try to get better pictures of him this year.

Do you bird watch? What is your favorite bird? Maybe you don't like birds at all?

one thing that I want to do, bird watch. we do feed the birds in our yard and watch them from our sun room. I am also reading the book "birdology" fascinating creatures, birds are.

not sure I have a favorite bird, but I love them all.

Yes - I'm right there with you girls, I love to look out our window and check out all the cool birds, some are pretty quirky... and we even have a woodpecker!

The house I am trying to buy right now seems to have a ton of birds nearby. The renters there now have birdfeeders all over the yard, lining the windowsills etc. I can't wait to put out my feeders when It becomes my house and see what kinds of birds I can attract.

My Mom always had hummingbird feeders outside our kitchen window and I love watching them also.

I love to watch them --- but I rarely have time for real birdwatching!

While I haven't had a chance to do this in a while, I have fond memories of it as a kid. My grandparents had a place on the lake and we spent lots of time on the screened in porch. There were always lots of birds to watch!

Funny, I wouldn't call myself a birdwatcher but others might. I love watching the birds in our yard. We have several woodpeckers (Flicker, Piliated and a "new" one with a bright red head I have yet to ID). I love the hummingbirds. I think bird knowledge has just rubbed off onto me from my mom who is a big bird watcher. We have a couple of feeders up and two bird baths as well.

I have a bird feeder my hubby put outside my bathroom window so I can see the birds eating in the morning as I get ready. Love seeing them and watching their antics. I've gotten some really good photos from that vantage point.

I'm not really an active birdwatcher - and by that I mean I don't have a pair of binoculars at the ready to take a close look at them (my father on the other hand does!). I do notice that we have had a Mourning Dove that sits on the peak of our garage roof everyday at the same time and I can see it from my living room window. The bizarre thing is that he started sitting there last summer after my BIL passed away and he sits there EVERY day. He went away for the winter but he showed up again a few weeks ago. It's the oddest thing.
