Very true. There is always something to notice and appreciate. I love seeing a flash of orange from the orioles or the way the Northern flickers pop into view while I am in the kitchen. I know what you mean about the trees. I know of one sycamore whose bark at any time of year is captivating!!!!
Like you, I have seen only a few butterflies. Monarchs and swallowtails. The pond in my
nature park has been surprisingly missing the usual mallards and geese. An occasional
oriole, goldfinch or cardinal, but mostly red-wing blackbirds, robins and sparrows.
Even when there are few types of birds to be seen, the trees themselves are
amazing in their diversity and beauty. I never experience my daily nature walks
as disappointing or boring. This is my sanctuary, and there is always something
deserving of my attention and appreciation.
