“Birding With Jules” . . .

 Saturday afternoon,

after the parade

my friend and teacher 

phoned me asking if I wanted to go

“birding” with her.  

First of all, 

I was sure we would stay in the car, 

because of our very cold 

13 degree brisky windy weather.   

Secondly, this gal 

knows her birds, 

knows her haunts

and her camera is like the one I plan 

on purchasing soon.  

Off we go!

 road after road

path after path

we traveled.

Not many “view catches”

but I was learning a bunch 

and the conversation 

and laughter

was priceless.  

We saw many Canadian Geese in the sky

and then caught a bunch settling in the ponds.

“Jules” saw some ducks.

Goldeneyes she says.  

She found these with her naked eye and 

she scrolled in with her camera to check them out.  

Here is what they look like above and the picture following 

Is what she “spotted” as we rode along.  

Not sure how she does it!

My eyes aren’t that keen! 

She also saw some Meadow Larks, Horned Larks and Redpolls.

Not able to get any good pictures of them

but here is what they look like.

Redpoll

(I do have these who visit my feeders.)

Such a treat to see, watch, learn.

“Jules” is a great teacher.  

and I am enjoying our friendship.

‘til next time
