All about birds on National Bird Day, just for fun

Many folks are bird watchers including myself. I usually don't know one type from another except a cardinal, blue jay, robin, hummingbird and a crow. Instead of getting involved in a local bird counting because I don't know many bird species and I hate math not to mention my memory sux anymore, I prefer to do different things when it comes to birds, I like find them in a bird word search puzzle

My mother used to have a clock that would tweet a different bird song on the hour. I always loved that and I even owned one myself. If you want to learn to name that bird here is the perfect place to listen and learn about the birds with a bird quiz.

How to avoid having bird collisions with your windows. 

Spring is not anywhere near but here is a recipe to make your own Hummingbird Nectar. I do this every year and have beautiful little fluttery birds around my porch.

Recipe 

1 cup white granulated sugar
4 cups hot boiling water

Boil more than four cups of water on the stove top. When you use more than four cups of water, you can adjust to the loss of water from steam. Carefully measure out four cups of boiling water into a large bowl. 

Add one cup of white granulated sugar. Mix the white granulated sugar and water together until all of the sugar is dissolved. Carefully place the mixture into the refrigerator to cool, usually overnight. When mixture is cold, take the mixture of the refrigerator. You now have a bowl of hummingbird food.
