Birds Abounding…
I just love going outside, even just for a minute! The sound of bird songs fill the air, lifting my mood…
Bluebirds…
King Fisher…
Wild Turkeys flying over the farm…
Bald Eagle flying over the farm….
Mating season for the wild turkeys and some pretty good displays by the toms…
A Meadowlark…
A colorful bunch of Crossbills on naked limbs and a dreary day…
Enjoy your spring day!

Spring Time in the Aspens…
Twinkly Stars…
Last night we watched this crescent moon set, with a huge dark cloud hanging over it. The only thing visible in the sky was this little moon…
Then slowly the clouds started to part…
All within a half hour, the sky went from completely socked in to just a few little clouds here and there. Then as we walked home I accidentally hit my camera remote and this was what it recorded in thirty seconds…
Kind of funny!

Little Girl…
We had a bit of a windy day yesterday and this little girl wanted to fly a kite and since we don’t have any kites she made the best of her situation and found a plastic sack and a string…
Hours of entertainment! 🙂

Northern Pintail Ducks…
My husband and I took a drive along the north end of Flathead Lake, we found some farmers fields flooded from the melting snow. In the huge puddles we saw some Northern Pintail ducks…
Slim and long-necked, the Northern Pintail has a distinctive silhouette. The male is easy to identify by his striking markings and long tail, but even the female can be recognized by her graceful, long-necked shape.
Cool Facts
- Like the Mallard, the Northern Pintail breeds in a variety of habitats all across northern North America and Eurasia. Also like the Mallard, island populations have splintered off and evolved into separate species. Two closely related forms can be found on Crozet and Kerguelen islands in the very southern Indian Ocean, known as Eaton’s Pintail (Anas eatoni
- The Northern Pintail is among the earliest nesting ducks in North America, beginning shortly after ice-out in many northern areas.
