Wordless Wednesday (ok a few words)
Goldfinch visiting me just outside the Administration Building here in Allegany State Park, NY
Took the Wordless Wednesday idea from Barbara. Wait, have I said too much already?? Darn!
Welcome!
Welcome to the mon@rch nature blog and I hope you join us in some of our nature adventures through the Allegany State Park area!
I am a naturalist, field biologist and nature photographer from the Western New York area. I have started exploring nature writing through this blog and it truly has been fun sharing my numerous adventures with everyone. Thanks to the many other authors that help me with my post and they will be sharing some of their nature explorations.
I have always had a latent interest in birds and photography and have been lucky enough to find time to explore these interests over the last few years. I am very thankful to the Cattaraugus County Bird Club for getting me started, sharing their wealth of knowledge and for their wonderful programs. And many thanks to Tom for letting me share some of my adventures and photos on the Monarch Nature Blog.
Thank you for taking the time visiting and commenting on this blog.

Hey, enough said. We all need wordless days… :o) The goldfinch said it all. Love them!

I love that we can hear their sweet little wingbeats.
And their voices, too. I’ve noticed around here that birds are definitely tuning the pipes.

Goldfinches are such elegant little birds. Wordless Wednesdays are great for bird photos. Thanks for your kind words at my blog!

Doink on my head! I just realized that you had a video for us! Very cool – I love to hear them sing. Hey, who started their truck at the end? Didn’t they know you were taking a video? LOL!

Pam, good grief, pay attention.

Cute goldfinches! I wish we could have feeders here, but we have only a porch for a yard, and worry that our cats would eat birds feeding on dropped seed!
Great video!

@ Rick – Thanks
@ Mary – thanks and so don’t I!
@ Susan – I love seeing them fly in from a good distance away! They are fun little birds
@ Pam – hard to believe I can go wordless!
@ Barb – sure do, that’s why I took your idea!
@ Lynne – thanks, I love taking the videos!
@ Pam – missed it was a video??
@ Mary – you tell her!
@ Adam – thanks! When they find you and like your feeder, they can really clean you out.
THANKS EVERYONE!

You sic’ her, Mary! Keep her on her toes!
BTW: I think I will have to check out bliptv.

Laura – love the *potato chips* call!
Susan – bliptv.com has some copyrights which you are able to keep better than youtube does! Let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to help!
