For the birds...

My new fascination is BIRDS. Am I getting old or what?! Isn't 'birdwatching' for older folks? Okay, I know I am old, in fact my husband believes I am old as "dirt", but I just never pictured myself being all that interested in birds. I am thinking it is because Utah has 2 kinds of birds - robins and seagulls. So it has been interesting living in the South. Birds actually fly here, instead of flying away. It is really the Cub Scout thing I guess. Trying to help my son with all of his cub projects got me stuck interested in the variety of birds that fly to our deck. Well, the birdseed helps. Anyway I took my fancy new camera out, snapped on my telephoto lens (that I thought I would never use) and got some cool shots out our kitchen window. We saw a tufted titmouse yesterday...but I didn't get it on film. I'm still waiting for that bluish-orangy bird to come back.
