Bird Spotting.....

Just outside our condo building, along the bike path, we have two comfortable benches and several bird feeders. Our upstairs neighbors fill the feeders and the rest of us enjoy watching the activity as birds flit back and forth.

It's a sign of spring when we see the baltimore orioles and the bright yellow goldfinches grab a bite and then zip off to sit in a nearby bush. Robins and cardinals join the parade.

I'm not an educated bird watcher, but it is fun to notice something new as Fenway and I walk down the path. And it wasn't until earlier this year I discovered that the cardinal's winter feathers include a lot of yellow - absolutely beautiful bird!

So beautiful she inspired a little quilt......I'll never look at a cardinal quite the same way ever again. What a lovely gift from Mother Nature.....especially on a grey day!
