- Hi, I'm Sharon Collins, the host of a show called Georgia Outdoors.

It's about nature.

And I travel all over the state doing stories about things like frogs and birds and pretty places.

But you can find nature in your own backyard.

(babbling water) I like to walk around my yard and see all of the things especially in the spring, that are in the same family, but they're so very different.

The red Azaleas and the white Azaleas are in the same family as those great big pink Azaleas.

But they're different, different species of Azaleas.

This is a Maple tree.

That's a Maple tree, but that's a Japanese Maple tree.

It's a different species.

So even though they're in the same family, they're different.

I don't know why I get such a kick out of this kind of stuff but it's neat to me when two plants are in exactly the same family, but they look so different.

So we've got two Ferns.

A lot of people call this a Christmas Fern, but look how different it is from this Fern.

They're both in the same family.

And look at this a little.

This is how ferns unroll.

See these little nudges they'll roll up and they'll all end up looking like this.

So something ate most of my Koi.

I've got one left, one little guy.

He's lonely.

I'm going to buy some more, but whatever ate my Koi, was hungry.

So I can only get so mad.

(babbling water, birds tweeting) I love my fountain because birds like this top tier.

They get in there and they splash around and flap their wings and Robbins and Cardinals and all kinds of words I get to watch.

But I got to really watch some birds when Carolina Wren built a nest, it was this big.

And I took a video of it from my window.

I'm going to show it to you.

So I stood right here with my cell phone and got this nest video, and it is amazing.

You see the little babies.

Here comes one of the adults, Carolina Wren.

Constantly they have to feed those chicks.

That looks like a grub or some kind of insect.

So, I'm going to stop it.

I bet you don't know what you just saw.

That chick just pooped and handed the poop to the mom.

So let's back it up.

He turns his little bottom upside down.

Watch the white blob come out.

Look at that.

Hands it off to her is called a fecal sack.

And that's why their nest stay so clean.

Well, thanks for coming to my backyard.

I hope you had a good time.

Just remember you don't have to go on some fancy trip to find nature.

You can find it in backyard, along the sidewalk.

Just about any place you look.

Just keep your eyes open and you'll see things.
