In the Palms: Great Bird Watching

Welcome!

I LOVE to create greeting cards. This is a place

for me to share some of my favorite cards with family,

fellow card-makers,and friends.

Update: Since I began this card-making blog in 2009, we have moved to a warm, sunny place, retired, and gotten very busy. Even though my love of making cards has not lessened, my time "for" card-making has diminished. I had actually considered taking down my blog because of my lack of time to make and post cards. Instead I will try to post more regularly with a variety of things. Please bear with me while I attempt to expand my topics.

Great Bird Watching

This morning an osprey landed in the yard with a fish he/she had just caught. It was a pretty big fish for the bird to carry all the way back to the nest. We think he/she was waiting for the fish to die before taking off. In the meantime, a variety of birds stopped by to see if any of them could get a crack at the fish. In this picture you are seeing the osprey and a turkey buzzard. Two more buzzards showed up shortly after the first. The osprey gave the buzzards a good talking to, ate some of the fish, and then took off with the rest it presumably to its nest. It was very interesting to watch!
