Fantastic journaling, and beautiful photos.

Great journaling. Funny about the blackbirds. We use to watch them and they are great at taking over the feed trays , but if you feed them on the ground, they spend half the time defending their food from the others, that the smaller birds have plenty of time to eat... so funny to watch their "dance". Love your page and the photos.

I love this layout and your journaling! I am also a birdwatcher and started to do mine about the birds but decided to do something else. Not all Blackbirds are "not pretty". lol We have some red-winged blackbirds in our yard. They are beautiful.

@Carla - I agree with you that not all are "not pretty". In fact, I think the ones I captured here with the sun on them are lovely. We, too, have seen some red-winged blackbirds but my DH lumps them all in the same category.

@Nemla - Ours are so aggressive that they eat from anywhere -- feeders, ground and the suet cage. They are entertaining to watch. Sometimes I wonder if from God's view we humans are much the same -- pushing and shoving others for what we want! Now there's something to ponder. Ouch ....

This is amazing! Wonderfully put together but also what fantastic journaling

Starlings are notorious for knocking everything out of the feeder. We had a feeder on the south side of the house, looked like a house with a pitch roof and a shelf for the birds to perch on and get the food. We could have the feeder full, starlings would come by, and it would all end up on the ground (or eaten). We now have feeders that make it a bit more difficult to knock seed out. Great shots of the starlings, good journaling.

Patsy, this is just lovely. I took a course in bird watching in college. It's easy to get lost in time, just taking in the beauty. You used Lynn's products so well, just perfect for this page. Thank you for joining!
