This is the season to hear migrating songbirds at night as they pass overhead. Their short chips and notes are easy to overlook.

It is no coincidence that we start seeing migrants after we finally have some warm weather. It is about time!

It is about time temperatures have soared all the way into the 40s. Maybe now we can start finding some avian signs of the coming spring.

It was on March 14, 1903 that President Theodore Roosevelt established the first federal bird reservation, Pelican Island, a five-acre mangrove island in the Indian River Lagoon on the east coast of Florida near Vero Beach.

My fascination with the moon started when I was four years old. My mother said would wake up in the middle of the night and say to her, “There is the moon, isn’t it pretty?”

There are a lot of eagles, hawks, falcons and owls around the Island. These large birds are always fun to see and many people continue to report them.
