Coming out of the closet

I'm a closet bird watcher. When I lived at my old house in Ohio, I used to take my grandfather's binoculars and look at the cardinals, chickadees, robins, and mourning doves. I still enjoy watching birds, but I don't have as much opportunity. Nowadays I watch birds at Gran's house. She has a couple feeders that attract quite a few birds. Recently on my drive from Indiana to Iowa, my wife and I spotted around 30 hawks (mostly Red-tailed), 3 Bald Eagles, and at least 10 American Kestrels. We also saw a hand full of deer and a coyote. I enjoy looking for our my furry/feathered neighbors.
