About this Blog

Welcome to the world of Birds ~ Armchair birding via upclose videos. Adding quality to our life one bird at a time.
Seniors enjoy the gift of healthy memory activity they recieve from watching the theatre of nature. Test yourself to see how many birds you can remember. All shut-ins love the challenge of birdwatching from their windows, TV and computers.
Learn to identify the birds and they will soon feel like new friends.
We can only live one moment at a time. The birds will help us enjoy it as it reduces the fear that comes with memory loss.
Our thanks to the many youtube video producers who are bringing smiles to all who watch the excellent work.

The question came up about bird life at the North Pole. What birds could we expect to add to our list if we went there?
The Canadian territory of Nunavut lies closest to the North Pole.We did a bird list search for Nunavut, Canada.

Have you ever wished you could go on a scientific bird expedition? Now you can tag along with a team from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to collect sound recordings in the Canadian High Arctic.
