The real upside is that it is right by my house and the Tawny Owls occasionally stray into my oak tree at night. All terrain vehicle enthusiasts ripped swathes through the wild flowers and fireraisers left the burnt out shuck of a car, so there will almost certainly be work parties to clear the litter and debris. Feeder stations!

Even so, he still knew many species and always yearned to learn about the wildlife he encountered. Watch and listen for the birds as they rustle through the leaf litter.

A marsh littered with garbage will still provide refuge for a bittern, considering in many places most wetlands simply don’t exist any more. Townsend’s Warbler in a busy city park.

Sometimes it was just a matter of looking harder — walking a little further into the woods to get my first glimpse of a Blackburnian Warbler or being in just the right place at the right time to spot an elusive Yellow-billed Cuckoo. The husks of box elder seeds littered the ground, neatly stripped and devoured.

You soon adapt to the early mornings and early nights to coincide with the wildlife! The hinterland produced some amazing birds and we did find it hard work looking so high into the trees to find the Catbird that continuously called and the Wompoo Fruit Dove, but the leaf litter below also produced some well-disguised birds.
