Hasta los Horneros tienen para entretenerse en el patio, los restos de frutas que quedan en el tronco de la foto atraen a las hormigas y es cosa de casi todos los días ver a los Horneros caminando por el tronco alimentándose de las hormigas; lo que hace rato que no uso son semillas de […]
Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawks
Over the last few months, I’ve been watching a Red-shouldered Hawks’ nest at Central Winds Park. It all started with their courtship along rte 434 just south of the park.

Pilgrimsfalk, ringmärkning
Då var det dax att ringmärka pilgrimsfalksunge (tyvärr bara ett av 4 ägg kläckt), detta paret har lämnat många okläckta ägg efter sig genom åren, men stammen växer och fler falkar kommer ut på vingar för varje år.
Osprey at Cameron Wight Park
This morning I drove out to Cameron Wight Park hoping to find a Brown Pelican for my June Challenge (finding as many birds as possible in my county during the month of June). I didn’t have any luck with that, but it was fun to see this Osprey going to work on a fish. He […]
