FOR THE BIRDS

Spring brings a return of migratory birds, but Michigan is on another plain. Our backyard appears to be ground zero, and I have seen and heard so many different species. There have been countless red-breasted robins and a few cardinals, which are absolutely striking. One is shown below. Sorry I could not get a close up, but he flew away when Cate got too close.


While we were playing frisbee in the back, we also heard some pecking. We quickly followed the sound to our neighbors' house behind us. We spotted a woodpecker hammering away at a tree. It was a beautiful sight!


I will miss these sweet creatures when they fly south next winter. Until then, I will take notice of them and enjoy their company.
