You've got quiet a beautiful array of colors to watch fly by. :)<br /><br />Bluebirds are supposed to be in abundance here on the prairie and you can't go down a road without seeing a bluebird house on a fencepost. However, I've never seen one in the dozen years we've lived here.

A lot of birds come here in the winter. The birds I notice most often are woodpeckers, redbirds, bluebirds, and yellow finches. I guess the bright colors catch my eye. I'm sure we have robins, but not sure if it's in the summer or winter. We also have lots of sea birds.

It is fun. :) <br /><br />However, I haven't driven a skidoo since I was a teen and got hung up between two bumps... the front skis on an incline, the track on a decline at the back, and nothing beneath me for 3 feet. I have no idea how I did it, but I didn't want to do it again. <br /><br />Kinda reminds me of canoeing, Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618699900826731377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-69805234915922024822012-03-26T17:36:12.823-04:002012-03-26T17:36:12.823-04:00Thanks, DeAnna, on both counts. :)
