It has been a long time since I've made a bird post. I've hardly done any bird watching this winter. I blame that on the fact that my wooden birdfeeder broke, and I couldn't find any male in my family to fix it. I should just go fix it myself, huh?
Today Gary and I went for a stroll at Cedar Hill State park. The weather was lovely--warm, clear, and sunny--but I have no photos because I forgot both my camera and my binoculars.
I did observe some red-winged blackbirds in a marshy corner of the lake. They are one of those kids of birds where the male and female are so different from each other you think you're seeing two different species.
Have you noticed the Birdstack in the right hand column of my blog. This is a cool way to track the birds you've seen, created by a nice young man who works just down the hall from me. He's an LU grad too--some of you folks may know him.

I did notice it a while back and clicked to the website, but couldn't quite figure it out (I'm a bit technically challenged!).
Even though I'm not the most observant person to walk the face of the earth (i.e. not a very natural bird watcher), it's hard to miss the flock of birds that keeps visiting my back yard. I'm hard pressed, though, to even begin how to figure out what type they are without investing a lot of time.
I like seeing them, though.
