It was a day of new discoveries all around. First I discovered my new purple Brussels sprouts Purple Brussels Sprouts, and then I had a new bird playing around in the tall wheat grass with some sparrows. What a great day!
My new feathered friend was a Dark-Eyed Cassiar Junco. They like to come visit us here in Colorado during the late fall and are here until early spring. And it is definitely late fall, so they are right on time.
Keep your mind and your eyes open to all things. You just never know when you might see something new. If you are like me, you won’t want to miss a thing. Have a great day Everyone.

Aww.. I remember juncos (juncoes?) from my childhood. My father loved to watch the birds on the feeder at our breakfast nook window. We’d see lots of different kinds, and he could name them all. 💕

I love it. My dad and I used to love watching the birds together too. 🙂

(Dad had some pretty creative ideas for getting the squirrels off the feeder, too. But we usually just ended up letting the dog out and watching the fun. 😉 )

How do you know it’s a “he”? Did you look under the tail?

Oh I definitely have my fish books too. I identify all my fish just like I do my birds. 🙂

It’s a little more complicated with us because not all fish are kosher. Sometimes we look it up in the book and have to let it go.

My fish books are more for my scuba diving.

P.S. Was that you who posted a recipe for working mushrooms into ground turkey? If so, how do I find it on your website?

Ooops, sorry! I am planning to make it (them – burgers), and I want to give credit to the person who published it first. I marked it in favorites and lost it somehow.
