I like to see the birds going to the feeders outside my windows. In Spring, pretty little finches come for thistle seed. Now there are frequent hummingbird sightings. And about 3 species of doves come to get the seed that falls on the ground. I like to hear the doleful call of the Mourning Dove. Often there are White Winged Doves. Everyday, when I'm not depressed, I go out and clean the bird bath.
