Trying to document the birds coming to our backyard since my children and I have noticed more and more visitors this year. It's calming for me, interesting and informative for them, and a safety spot for the birds. And, inadvertently, we have happy squirrels and a new opossum hanging out, too.

Thinking global thoughts
I was thinking today about how interesting it is that birds are birds all over the world. Growing up in New England, as a kid one of the highlights of Boston Commons was feeding the pigeons. Breadcrumbs in hand and knobby knees, seemingly thousands would flocks in and the wind would be astounding and slightly frightening and fun at the same time.
I took this photo above in 2004 in Zona 1, Guatemala City. And, there, in Central America, what do we find? Pigeons, of course! And, kids who love to feed them : )
