FYI Fellow Bird Watchers/Lovers:

I just discovered that the Boise Art Museum has two bird-centered art exhibits: “John James Audubon: American Artist and Naturalist”(through Aug. 22)and “Birds of a Feather” through Oct. 3.

I’m not sure if I’ve got the name correct, but I think I’ve got yellow taningiers “lighting” on some purple flowers of mine. I also have a feeder for these that the folks at Zamzows educated me about, and they are so numerous I can hardly believe it! I was told Idaho didn’t have many.

EDITOR NOTE–Diane, you have a couple of things. The yellow birds with black cap (males) and eating thistle seeds from the feeder are GOLD FINCHES. This year we also have a huge crop of WESTERN TANAGERS which are also yellow, but with a brilliant red head (male).

My sweet spends lots of time on our deck near the two hummingbird feeders and has gotten a few really good pictures. Photography is a good hobby, and thanks to its “digitalness” and the internet can be shared with friends and relatives around the nation and the world. Love it.

Thanks for the peaceful post. I too am a bird watcher. Birds are magnificent with their many colors and humorous antics, not unlike politicians, yet less malignant!

Glad you had a respite from the day job and BG. Keep up the great work!

I knew there was a birder in you…somewhere!
