GOLD is Discovered at the Bird Sanctuary on Rainbow Creek-Deep in the Heart of Texas and the RUSH is on.


Welcome to Everyone in the World

Here is Kay Lonnie on the roof ready to signal the start of our Nature Class. Come on up!

Kay Lonnie, Give the Signal. What is that coming out of your mouth? Have you been smoking up there?


Oh, it is too cold? Let's try that signal one more time.


Oh yes, I see what you mean: It is still too cold to have our class on the roof. Let's go back down and inside to the bedroom window. I will make some hot coffee.

Oh Look! There is Little Rambo at the top of the tallest pine tree! He just breezed by us on the roof screaming all the way.

Good Morning Little Rambo, you are looking so handsome today in your grown up colors. Then he was off hunting on Rainbow Creek.


Pop Quiz for today: Name this beautiful golden flower. I welcome your comments, answers or questions either here on site or at: katescabin@gmail.com or: Brendasue Watson at Kates Cabin, P O Box 743, Hempstead, Texas 77445. Keep those cards and letters coming as it gets pretty lonely with only birds and dogs to talk to!

Okay, lets move on to the photostudy for today. This January Bird is named the American Goldfinch. They travel with the Pine Siskins. There is over 300 outside today. They feed in groups. The cardinals watch over these little birds and feed them sometime.
Outside my bedroom window is a thislte seed sock hanging in the apple tree. Like the siskins, these goldfinch love this treat. Enjoy this gold discovered on Rainbow Creek today.
