GBBC



We're participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count this weekend.




Sas and I are helping Rama identify and count the birdies.



There's a Black-capped Chickadee.
So cute and perky.



Oh, Look! I see 3 Goldfinches.
They love the thistle!


Wake me when you're finished, please.

    Oh such beautiful and helpful pups! You're supposed to be counting birds, not sheep! Keep those eyes open!

    We have been watching the birds too - too many to count, they keep flying off and coming back. Yesterday they were so busy! What was your count?

    Oh My Dog!We really admire your resilience and patience. You actually sat there and counted birds?

    Great job counting. We saw a few robins and one big glen eagle - but we had our eyes set on rabbits instead.

    The Herd only helps to reduce the count and don't think that would be considered helpful.

    What a fun thingy to do.. I can't count high enough to do the birds in my yard though. Today I saw 3 robins and a BUNCH of Redwinged Blackbirds. No finches today.. butt some yesterday.

    You keep countin... It will be interesting to know what all you see.

    MOL Sassy and Zack you are the best little helpers a Mom could ever have. Mom says she wishes she was sitting right there with you all counting birds.

    It is windy but nice here. Mom and Dad have been in the yard and I've been snoopervising from the perch.

    Well, not the most thrilling activity, but something to pass the time for sure. What's with Buddy's photo in the header? Look at that labratongue.

    Just being able to sit outside on the deck makes it a great day! Much too cold to be outside up here in NY. :(

    I didn't know anything about bird counting. I chase them, does it count too?

    Don't you ever run after any of those birds? I would. Mom won't let me run free outside, cause we has really big birds that might carry me off! Licky kisses, Billy

    Sassy and Zack, you are the cutest canine bird counters I've seen!
    So alert and you even know the kinds of birds on your deck!

    I love to chase the doves, but Mom says, "no chasing the birds!"

    Thanks for the good words, I'm doing better! Hopefully in a week the vet will take off this darn cone and stitches! I hope, I hope, I hope!
    Licks and sniffs, Raider

    Our bird population has increased a bunch in the last couple of weeks!! It would be a full time job counting them!! Good luck!!
    I am so happy to have better weather
    finally!!!! I know we will have some more cold but I am happy not to be freezing now and the animals are happy to be outside!!!
    How is Buddy??
    Hugs to you and the Pups Girlfriend,

    Our birds are slowly coming back....it's nesting time and I love that! Robins, mockingbirds, cardinals, and oh yes, a chicken. She survived below zero temps and I am amazed at her hardiness. Now, if she can just avoid being blown away by a tornado this spring. Thanks for your sweet thoughts while The Hub was in the hospital. He is on the mend, and everyday I see his personality come back to life.

    Chickadees!!! I miss them from when I lived up north! You pups are great at bird counting. Foster Phoebe counts birds by woofeling like crazy so we would never get past 1 in our back yard!
