Birds & Blooms

My already award-winning photo of an airborne Tufted Titmouse is competing for the Grand Prize in Birds & Blooms Magazine’s backyard photo contest. Voting has begun online at www.birdsandblooms.com/Contests/Backyard-Photo-Contest.
The news on the home front is that our backyard has turned into a wild turkey habitat. I saw five turkeys in the still snow-covered yard this morning. Their footprints are all over our yard and even close to our garage. Pretty soon they’ll be ringing our door bell, demanding to be fed! We’re hoping that they’ll go somewhere else once the snow melts. Spring can’t come soon enough around here.
