Birds I especially miss after having relocated.

8. "Love the ones you're with"

so true and with climate change, even if we don't move, the bird population often does... I worked "on the road" for 12 years before I retired and loved seeing the different birds (and insects and other wild life) around the Country.

But even here where I live the bird population has changed and with so many bears where I am I cannot put out bird feed to entice them. We used to have many song birds and grosbeaks... not so much anymore. I content myself with the robins and hummingbirds in the summer and the wild turkeys in the winter

the occasional woodpecker (especially pileated), owl, hawk, dove and the call of the loons at the lake across the way delight me...
