Nature: Bird Watching

Strange but true. I did some bird watching when I was visiting the Dunford home in Washington back in June. When I was a little girl, I loved bird watching with my grandparents {mom's side} and feeding the birds whenever I could. We used to hang lots of feeders and little homes in our yard but have since fallen short of doing that. When my grandparents passed away many years ago, we stopped being as diligent with the birds. On the other hand, the Dunfords are great at taking care of their local birds with birdhouses galore and little feeders all over their property. It's a bird paradise out there. For the first time in my life I saw a hummingbird up close and personal. I almost fell right out of the hammock when it appeared in front of me. I grabbed my camera as fast as I could and spent the next hour waiting for that hummingbird to come back my way. When it did, I snapped my camera like a mad-woman trying to get some good pictures of it. I love the humming noise and the way they zoom from flower to flower. It was such a neat experience. I would definitely recommend bird watching this summer. It's fun and if the weather is nice, you can get some sun.
