Today’s column reports the start of the season of southbound migrant birds!

The volume of bird song has decreased in the past few weeks.

Make no mistake about it, the corvids – the crows – can be very noisy.

It pays to look upward quickly when you see shorebirds suddenly rise up into the air.

Warm weather has finally come our way, and many of our thoughts turn to beaches.

Migration continues this week and three species were added to our year list. At least two sandhill cranes are still hanging out on the Island.
