10,000 Birds

This week, I have been pondering the value of bird rehabilitators.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of January 2019)

10,000 Birds

We’re still driving towards the depths of winter here in New York, but I just noticed that our days are getting longer. Spring migration will be here before you know it, right? Frigid temps and icy conditions couldn’t keep me from chasing down at least one of the Red-Headed Woodpeckers hanging around Durand Eastman Park.
