Hi everyone! I figured it would be easier for me to post all my BBB pictures in one thread and that way everyone can enjoy them! I am going to post some wildflowers over on that forum but I'll give you a link when I do that.
So I'm up visiting Grandma in Lincoln County, West Virginia. Branchland to be exact. If you Google it, you'll see I'm in the middle of nowhere. Well, almost nowhere. Seriously, I love it. I couldn't live here, but it's great to visit. One of my other hobbies is genealogy and Dad and I are visiting some cemeteries which is actually a pretty good place to see wildlife. Everything is in the middle of the woods here so there's always something to see.
Grandma has several bird feeders up. My aunt, who takes care of Grandma, loves birds and stocks the feeders. She can identify most of them, too. I haven't seen too many I don't recognize. As for butterflies, I have a book on WV butterflies and I've been submitting to BAMONA. I'm guessing they don't get many submissions from this part of the country.
So the Cardinal is the state bird of West Virginia and there's little doubt why. I saw seven of them at one time on the feeders yesterday! Oh, let me show you Grandma's feeders. Two "house" like feeders, one hummingbird feeder, and one smaller feeder with the metal mesh type screen (I mostly see Goldfinches on it).
Cardinals!

Okay, bedtime for me. More soon! Lots to come!
