Hi Carly I really enjoy all of your articles and I'm enjoying watching the birds in our back yard. The Indigo Bunting you saw when you were here is still coming to feed. It is such a beautiful little bird. I hope you have fun in Florida and see lots of different birds while you’re there.
Thanks Grandma 😊❤️ I’m so glad that handsome little bunting has stuck around! It was really fun getting to watch your feeder and see your beautiful garden for a few hours when we visited.
Hey Carly it aunt Jeannie and agin I really enjoyed reading your article.I love watching the birds around here and often go to the lake or small pond near me just to get away from the house and all the crazyness and just sit and watch the birds.I especially like watching the herons catching and eating small fish.Keep up your good work and I look forward to your next adventure.
Here in Central Illinois, we frequently see Turkey Vultures - circling around carrion. They help keep the roads clear of dead animals. It's one of those things I find fascinating, but revolting at the same time. We stopped one time to try and get an up-close picture of a Turkey Vulture sitting on a fence post. Bad idea! This was a huge bird - over 2 1/2 feet long. As a warning - it projectile vomited to keep us away. Glad It didn't hit me or the car. Their stomach contents are pure acid - ewwww!
Holy cow, that’s so wild! I had no idea they could vomit as an intimidation tactic. Their stomach acid must be powerful to digest all that rotting meat without getting sick! I see them soaring here a lot, and a couple of weeks ago I got to see a group of six of them or so all roosting in a tree pretty close to the ground. They are so strange looking with their tiny bald heads! Such cool creatures.

Thanks Jeannie, so glad you enjoy these posts. I love watching herons hunt, too — I’m heading to Florida for a week, hoping to see lots of them there!
