When I am getting dressed in the morning, I often wonder how many people put the clothes on first and then remember to apply the deodorant? Then it is, lift up the shirt and hope you don't get it all over the clothing. Will the application be sufficient for the day's protection? What about those who must use the anti-perspiration/deodorant that stains the clothing?
And another thing: how did that hair under my arm evade my razor for the amount of time that I could measure it with a ruler?
These are things that make me realize that I don't pay attention to detail. I am unruly, have no attention span and have no regiment in my life. How do you put the puzzle pieces in order? Each day I start with an objective. I will get at least this one thing done. How is it that I get the whole house messy and have not accomplished the one thing I set out to do?
I need discipline. Meanwhile, I think I will just stare out the window at the birds until some comes my way. Smile!

First day, dozens of Robins
I feed the birds most of the year right in front of my kitchen window. My watching birds is not limited to the yard. I see birds all around, where-ever I go. I thought a bird/life/blog might help me to weave the fabric of how birds intertwine with daily events.
Today dozens of Robins were very busy swooping from tree to tree. One landed on the azalea in front of my dinning room window. I was able to see the distinct outlines around the eyes and coloration of the beak. It reminded me of the details in everyday life that are sometimes over looked. I have been admiring birds for many years. As of yet, I am not an expert or even a true "bird watcher". I now have several good bird books and a good pair of binoculars. The real treat I get is out of spotting a big bird from a distance.
When I am driving on the highway I see mostly Red Tailed Hawks. There are places where they are seen frequently. If you stop to see one on the ground, it is likely to have the prey in the talons.
In the past few years I have seen owls only when there are practically white out conditions of snow. The past few sightings have been at dusk or night.
My favorite occasional visitor to my bird feeder is a pretty blue one. Indigo Bunting is a shy bird. It sits still for long periods and flies away if disturbed. The shape and size is close to the Pine Siskin or the Gold Finch
