The Nature Corner: Nature Notes ~ Assumption Day

Hello!

Welcome to my little nature corner! I am starting this blog on January 1st, 2007 and it is my goal to write something every day - in hopes of creating a family almanac by the end of the year. Some days it might just be the temperature, others it will be (I hope) posts full of pictures and observations. I hope you enjoy your time here!

Everyday Nature

~Early Spring Birds~
Now's the time of year to start watching for spring migrants passing through. Keep your bird guides handy so you can identify them! It's also the time to hear spring birdsong (it will sound new and yet familiar) and to observe courting behavior. :) ******************************************

Here 'Tis!

Nature Notes ~ Assumption Day

8/15/08

Bright and beautiful on this Assumption Day morning, though storms are predicted by afternoon.

******************************************

Sipping my coffee here at the computer, I am watching the red squirrel scampering up and down the spruce tree. He's deciding which feeder to visit for his breakfast. I hear another one off in the woods, complaining loudly about something. (Once you know what a red squirrel sounds like, there's no mistaking it!)

The morning glory vine is blooming beautifully around the birdhouse.

I like your Nature Notes!
We have gray squirrels here and they are pests! I wonder if red squirrels are better!
