Feathered friends

Today, while near Providence Plaza, I think I got a glimpse of a Peregrine Falcon.  Cool.
I occasionally have been checking out the Audubon Society of Rhode Island's website and webcam of a pair of Peregrine Falcons.
There has been a nesting pair of falcons on one of Providence's taller buildings for a few years in a row.  The Audubon had set a "nest"- three walled box and a webcam to watch.
One can see the parent sitting on her rocky nest.  When she moves away, one can view her eggs, or young.  They hatched last week.
It's cool.

Yes, I also feed and like to watch the birds in my yard.  We get some pigeons, a cardinal pair, mourning doves, sparrows and of course squirrels- gotta love them.
The city of Pawtucket has it's birds and animals.  Granted we're in a more suburban part of the city.  The houses are close yet not on top of each other and every house has some amount of a yard.
One day I saw a ground hog.  And oh, one year there seemed to be a population boom of wild turkeys because we spotted one or two here and there.  who knew.  :-D

I do know the birds seem to sort of know me and fly and sit off a way when I go out in the yard.  They chirp a bit when I fill the feeder.  Let everyone knows "it's refilled, seeds here". 

Hi I'm Lisa

Hi I'm Lisa.
And I'm a highly sensitive person.

I've known that I'm pretty sensitive. I've known my awareness is rather acute. I notice things that others may or may not notice. (no- i don't see dead people) I seem attuned to animals, nature in a way that some others don't. Sensitive to listening to sounds, music, seeing things around me, ect.
I must say I seem to have a "good ear" for music, though I haven't followed the musical path as much.
I'm more a visual artist.
Having rather fair skin, I sometimes feel like I'm baking in the sun and need to cover up.
I was a rather shy child and am still more on the quiet side.

"Like what's all of this?", I've thought. Nothing like feeling "odd" about oneself.

Mom would say "It's because you're an artist."
hmmm. yes, I am an artist and proud of it.
Yet doesn't being sensitive led itself to becoming an artist.
anyway

I've been listening to the Soul Purpose workshop led by Beverlee Garb. It's been a wonderful series of workshops. One speaker was Jim Hallow's , Highly Sensitive People website. One of the things he did was go through a series of questions drawn together by Dr. Elaine Aron, an expert and author on this subject matter.
Sure enough I answered most questions, "True". Nice to confirm something I couldn't quite find a way to explain or know.
I'm not just over sensitive, odd,...
There's something to it.
20% of the population.
Hmmm, Interesting

I thought I'd do an experiment myself and blog about my experiences.
If you can relate- Great.
if not- well the World Wide Web is big enough to find other blogs more your interest.
This is my intro post.

Thank you
