This morning I did manage to get up before dawn and met two other birding friends at Kinder Farm Park. I was really hoping for more exciting warblers, but most have moved on to more southern addresses. Even with my sore back I did manage to carry the […]
Can’t tell you how much I hate being stopped in my tracks with a thrown back. This week was supposed to be a birding bonanza, but instead I’ve had to settle for staying at home. Sitting in a chair for brief periods, and a window cracked open I […]
It was a crazy busy day yesterday, starting at dawn at both Kinder Farm Park and Swan Creek Wetlands in search of warblers. And indeed, warblers were found. To the tune of 800 images and many unknown. I’m off to another early start. This time for a pony […]
