Here in Akron

I’m fascinated with the birds around here. Most of them we didn’t have in California or Oregon. Maybe we did and I just never saw them, but some are native here in the east…like the Cardinal. Also, I’ve noticed the Blue Jay is more blue here in Ohio than on the west coast. In fact, it’s really pretty. Changing the subject…

It may take forever to get all of our stuff unpacked. I know…we’ve been here for 6 months, but to be fair, the weather has been cold and snowy…plus we are both getting old. The limbs don’t work as well as they used to. And we have been getting our exercise with the upstairs and the basement stairs.

Back to birds…I take a lot of pictures of the birds and squirrels. Some are good and some not so good, but I enjoy it so what the heck…right??? All my pictures are from the living room…tv room…where we have some big windows. We haven’t gotten out to take pictures anywhere else, though. We’re waiting for the weather to get better.

This is a Downy Woodpecker…I believe.
