Backyard Birding

In Sept this year, we were amazed by our friends backyard birding in Austin, Texas. They have bird feeder and birdhouse in their backyard. During our one hour stay, we watched the birds coming to have lunch on one of the bird feeder. They showed us the bird pictures taken from their backyard. Last weekend, I bought a very good book "Attracting Birds to Your Backyard" and read a little. I will mail this book as Christmas gift to our friends in Austin.

When we were in our old house, cardinals came to our backyard from time to time. We love this beautiful red bird. We even bought a bird feeder and hang on the tree in our front yard. Few years ago, when my father-in-law visited, he was so glad to watch the birds around our place and attracted by the beautiful bird songs.
