Q Gift 5 Watching nature

Because the native wildlife for this area has long ago been forced out of this habitat, city life has left little of nature to observe beyond our domesticated furry friends.
Quarantine has given me an opportunity to watch birds and squirrels and all those other creatures we ignore, and an occasional fox. Most days, I watch the birds. I have seen birds I had forgotten that were even part of this area. Like the Blue Jay. I have tried to follow the rat-a-tat-tat noise of a woodpecker that must be new to the neighborhood. And lately, I can actually recognize the different brown birds that fly around throughout my yard.
Thankfully with two cats, I have not seen any mice or rats everyone says the urban environment is overrun with. But because I have two super-predators disguised as house cats, the squirrels that cross into my yard are even at risk. But I do love my National Geographic moments. It is fun to see how God’s creations live and work together. And in some ways, they do it better than us humans.
