How do you like your Bee-eater?
On the eve of our Dutch Knights Champions of the Flyway adventure I’m in the train to Amsterdam. I’ll be staying at Marc’s place for the final preparations and a tiny bit of sleep before heading to the airport.

Black-bellied Whistling Ducks
There’s a little lake (or large pond) near my house. It’s just a little community pond, but during the winter time, there can be as many as 100 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks there.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet at Secret Lake Park
The other day I went to Secret Lake Park on my way into work. It’s a pretty little park, and I’ve not found a whole lot of wonderful things there. But it just seems like it’s the kind of place that should turn up something good from time to time. So I walked around the […]
