You know when something gets on your nerves, but then it ends up being pretty cool? That's exactly what happened with my bird feeder. I set it up, all excited, but for days, not a single bird showed up. I was starting to think it was a lost cause.
But guess what? Yesterday, out of the blue, a beautiful cardinal landed on it and started munching away. It was such a simple thing, but it brought a huge smile to my face.
What's interesting is how birdwatching seems to be catching on, even among younger folks like me. Instead of hitting the town on weekends, some are opting for early mornings to watch birds. It's a different vibe, but I kind of like it.
Now that our bird feeder is finally getting some action, I'm thinking maybe joining a birdwatching group could be fun. Who knows? It might just become my new weekend hobby.
