Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I enjoyed reading about your bird experiences. Our yard sounds like a bird aviary. So many flying around and singing their little hearts out. We have 3 feeders up near our living room window and especially in the fall winter and spring, they are loaded with birds. It is great to see them up close without disturbing them. I've always been surprised that with 8 cats in our yard that so many would take advantage of the feeder, but the cats don't bother them, so I guess they feel safe. The bats fly around near dusk here eating bugs. We love the bats. The other evening a group of 10 kept flying in circles over the house. Every time the flew back over the patio there was one less in their group, until they got down to only one that made the final loop. We laughed, because it seemed like they were playing a game to see who was the last one remaining in the pack. I imagine seeing that Great Heron was a beautiful site. Don't you just love being near a pond at daybreak when the mist is rising off the water? What a nice place to have a breakfast. My mom lives in Florida and there are ponds all around the place she is at. When we visit her, we see all kinds of wildlife, birds and alligators. It is very peaceful.

When I was younger, I remember sitting at my grandparents sliding glass door and watching the birds come to the bird feeders. Now, I lived in a suburb just outside Boston, Ma and I remember very clearly the day the pheasants came to feed. Pheasants are very rare around my area, so it was a big deal. They were beautiful. I also used to lay on my back in my backyard and watch the hawks circle above. The most beautiful thing I ever saw was in Maine when I was about maybe 15-16 years old. My parents and grandparents own houses right on the water and one morning I was up before everyone else. I walked down to the dock to have my breakfast and perched on the end of the dock was a Great Heron (I believe). I had never seen one up close, by that time I was on the dock, and it was beautiful. It looked right at me, looked at the water, looked at me and casually flew off. It was breathtaking. Didn't mean to ramble.

Mighty birds the Eagle but no match for the tiny persistant black birds that were very upset for having their territory invaded. I watched as these birds chased an Eagle until she dropped her fish that she had just caught in the ocean. Thinking it was an isolated case I was surprised to witness this behavior over and over again during the following weeks. These brave little birds were not giving up their fishing spot taken over by these huge Eagles. I have also had a Hummingbird come up to my face and look me right in the eye when I envaded his space. Amazing creatures. Sending smiles from Colorado Deanna the following weeks., Jolie <moowek03@.. .> wrote: > > Thanks Donna > > Jolie > > We learned to be patient observers like the owl. We learned cleverness from the crow, and courage from the jay, who will attack an owl ten times its size to drive it off its territory.
