Little Sweeties in the Trees
It’s been a rather busy week once again for me, and the calendar is actually full through December. Work seems to keep getting in the way of me being able to go out and bird during fall migration. I’ve been watching a plant in my garden known as […]
A Reason to Tern
Mixed in with all of the gulls at Sandy Point Park this week were a few terns. It was as if I was looking for a needle in the haystack between the huge flock of gulls. Surely one of these is not like the other. Indeed, this caspian […]
