Notes & Observations

5/22/22 – I love this bird. I see it often during this time of year. It loves to perch on powerlines and survey fields and passersby. I recently saw nests of this bird at a local park. Shortly after this discovery, an intense storm occurred and I believe it wiped out the unsheltered nest (seen in the final photo below). Last week we discovered another nest, this time at a local pond, this one looked much more ready to withstand inclement weather.

    Birding at Night

    Like most birders, I go birding in the morning. The day is new and birds are looking for food, water, and romance. But what happens when the sun goes down? Do birds still exist? Last night, I saw a favorite birding hotspot in a whole new way…by the glow of the moon.
