Did I observe World Migratory Bird Day, you’re asking? Did I even complete the goal I set out for myself in an earlier post? Well, yes, though I actually had two, and one remains only half-completed.
First off, two days before the holiday, I was surprised to suddenly see a female wood duck shoot into the nest box without warning, revealing that it was currently in use, and so one of the goals
This week we have one that’s no surprise, because I rarely see birds like this – the brilliant yellow ones (or red, or any bright color really) tend to be few and far between around here for some reason.
