    We used to have a pet budgie. When I was about... 5, I think, it got some disease that was slowly killing it. :( The night I found out about it, three other budgies flew into our back garden! :eek: And we kept one as a pet, first as a companion for the other one, and then on its own. :)

    It was so weird to have THREE budgies just fly in randomly like that.


    Budgies will inherit the earth. I had a budgie called Barney. He was a genius, and my best friend.

    They're excellent beasts. Whenever I get off my ass and move out of the family house, I'm gonna get another budgie.

    Absolutely ... I've done it since I was a kid as well, and have started up again recently, in earnest. I spent roughly half of my recent trip to the Pacific side of Mexico trying to ID seabirds.

    The frigatebirds and boobies were easy ... The petrels and terns, not so much.

    Any snowy owls this winter yet?

    I may hit the woods by me looking for wintering owls. No snowys.  Maybe long eared. 
    Barred sometimes. If the great horned owls haven't chased them all away.

    No owl sightings. Mixed flocks of bluebirds, titmice, juncos, woodpeckers in the woods. Thought i heard a whoot but unsure.
    Lots of animal tracks in the snow and evidence of a bear scratching up some trees.
    A couple deer moving around slowly.

    Always love to immerse myself in the woods. Especially after a little snow

    I need to go out there and see.  It's come back every year so far. 

    Good memory you have!

    I'm not a birdwatcher but I do get excited when I get to see these 2 when I'm out for my daily hike. Always a thrill to see Eagles in the wild.
