5. A good friend of mine who is an avid traveler recently sent me an email. In it,she wrote new of her husband
"In our current state of 'not getting around much anymore,' our wildlife viewing is mostly in our backyard,where we have a plethora of baby birds, rabbits, and squirrels. That makes it a happy hunting ground for the gorgeous male Northern harrier that often sits on the supporting pole of one of our bird feeders,about twenty-five feet from our patio. We have had harriers in our yard before, but never quite that close. We have Carolina wrens nesting in our defunct gas grill, and cardinals reposing in a hanging plant on our front porch, preventing us from watering it. We hope they fledged in time to save the plant.
