Two For One


Okay is this bad??  For a birthday present, Pat takes me to go stargazing.  Yet on our trip, I also do a bit of birdgazing:)  I also add a new bird to my lifelist.
Steller's Jay
The cold temps are right up my alley.  We hang with our friends up in their cabin before the stargazing begins and I spot TWO PYGMY NUTHATCHES on their birdfeeders!!!  I am thrilled to finally see these birds out in the wild.

But we head up to the observatories that have all kinds of birds everywhere and begin our stargazing.  We had a blast on this cold and chilly day up on Mt. Lemmon.  The stars and bird finds were awesome! Do you find yourself doing this as well? More tomorrow.....
