I miss the birds [View all]

We had multiple feeders and a very busy backyard at my old house.

Cardinals, Goldfinches, bluejays, sparrows, juncos, woodpeckers, finches, titmice, chickadees, mourning doves, grackles, cowbirds, catbirds, crows, even a Coopers hawk and turkey buzzards.

Now in my 55+ community, there are plenty of trees, a large community garden, ponds, and a few pollinator and butterfly gardens, but no bird feeders allowed.

I miss the drama, the colors, and the birdsong.

Maybe it's the climate change.

Sad, but the occasional flyer will have to do.
