Bird in the hand

Here is this week's things that I am grateful for - my "bird in the hand":

• my birthday and all the lovely greetings I got from friends and family
• a safe flight over to England
• seeing family and my new granddaughter and grandson
• having a warm coat, hat and gloves! It's freezing here and the snow has started today!
• cuddles and feed-time with babies
• seeing the ducks on a frozen lake

Hope you are staying cozy.

Bird tracks

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I've made a bird tracks bracelet, similar to the animal tracks one for all those bird lover, birders, twitchers. This is more difficult to guess the tracks as birds are not as diverse in their feet as mammals - so no competition for this one!!!


The birds from left to right are as follows:

Northern Flicker; Raven; Snipe; Duck; Bald Eagle; Canada Goose; Wild Turkey; Great Blue Heron; Sandpiper.
