I've yet to see anything like that outside my window.

Keep watching! I'm sure there is plenty of cool stuff going on right in your backyard I'm in the 2 acre club just like you it doesn't take much land to have a great show.

How cool! I feel so lucky to have the 2 acres...cool there is a club.

Growing up my siblings and I all talked about having at least 5 acres--most of us ended up with 1 or 2. I'm happy with what I have and can't imagine trying to do my project on MORE land...but, who knows, once this gets pretty well established, I might be happy to tackle more... Wishful thinking, I'm sure, but I'd love to purchase the acreage behind us!

You are right that I should look out the window more--and get out in the yard more--I did that today! Of all the things I do get to see, I'm often wondering what goes on while I'm NOT looking!

It is amazing what goes on when we aren't looking, just a glance out the window and a huge vulture soared just overhead, too quick for a photo, just enough for a wow moment. They happen all the time, those wow moments, time to get out and see them if not capture them to look at later.

True enough.

I remember seeing a great blue heron flying across the sky behind my back yard. I was out in the yard without the camera, but I'm thrilled I saw it. I did think, "Some day I'll be there with a camera next time it happens."
