AWWW MONDAYS Blog Hop

This is an image that makes us say "awww" ~ not only because these little house sparrows are fun to watch as they challenge one another for a turn at the suet cage ... but I'm also saying "awww" because this great photo was shot by my grandson!  
It's really a joy to see him taking an interest in bird-watching ... we set up this little backyard feeding station earlier this summer.  Each weekend we spend a little time there working to improve the area, clean it up a bit ... add to it.  Perhaps visit the Wild Bird Center for some new seed to try out or a piece of equipment to add.  Soon we'll try some recipes for making our own suet.  And this past weekend we bought several sizes of clay pots and saucers which we'll be painting, upside-downing and creating our own bird bath before he returns to school.
Now we are also part of a group on Facebook, WHAT'S THIS BIRD.  A great group and my grandson and I anxiously post our photos there for help with identification since we are novices.  After learning "who and what" they are, we'll look them up in one of our bird books for more information about them.  He is getting so much better with his photography (and has decided to ask Santa for his own camera this year!) ... Anyway ... here, one of his best photos!

  7. Awwww, that grandson is one of those apples that doesn't fall far from the tree - that is an amazing photo. Of course, he has a great teacher too. Maybe he can come and shoot some good photos of us instead of the poor ones Mom gets.
