My Neighbors



MY NEIGHBORS
Carpenter's Point, MD

I didn't grow up with an appreciation for nature and now that I am older, that is a regret.  I started noticing birds when I bought my first house at age 43.  The former owners left their bird feeders and all sorts of flying creatures showed up there.  One day, a yellow bird came to the feeder and I thought someone must have lost his canary.  Then another yellow bird and a third bird showed up and I thought some pet store must be short a few canaries on that day.  I later learned that they were gold finches and I later became a very amateur birder.

No, I sit in my backyard, off and on, throughout day and just watch what comes in to my preferable view.  I have lots of neighbors.
