Saw this American Tree Sparrow in the snow. How confusing is that ... 🤭.

Peace And Comfort

It has been a while since we saw a male cardinal. I guess it has been a couple of weeks anyway.

A very good friend passed away this week and seeing this cardinal just felt peaceful.

The Paparazzi Arrived?

I tried to get closer to capture a better photo - I overheard the orange bill guy say, ‘Act natural,’ but they all bolted when the paparazzi showed up!

It has been a while since we saw a American Black Duck. The males have a yellow bill. They were just floating around on this fishing pod at Garbry Big Woods Reserve.

Happy 21st? 🤣

Today is my 21st birthday 🤣. Well, I say that every year. Lets go with 21 with 46 years of experience.

Today also marks seven years cancer free. I had a radical prostatectomy seven years ago today. I was not healthy and didn't realize how bad it really was. The surgery went well, but I could have been avoided if I had focused on my health over my lifetime. For years I went to the gym, but I had a fork problem. I didn't eat right. After cleaning up my diet I am a different preson. I eat fewer carbs and removing ultra-processed 💩. These days I am carnivore and eat meat and eggs. Life is good and my health is so much improved.

These cardinals remind me that good health comes with effort. Now on to the next 50 years.

The Tree Inspector

Yes, another Red-bellied Woodpecker. We are at the time of year when we see less variety. They are still beautiful.
