On my final walk up Mt Pleasant before heading our west for a month, I passed the newly ploughed field at the far eastern end of Mt Pleasant Rd. Killdeer calls caught my attention and there were 8-10 of the them flying around. Shortly they were joined by a flock of about 50 Bobolinks, that swirled around for a couple of minutes before heading off south. Remembering Bridget Stuchbury's astoundingly good keynote address about songbird migration to the NYSOA banquet last night, I could not help but wonder where all those Bobolinks would spend the winter…I know they do go south of the equator eventually…
Ta-tah for now…off to Reno NV for the start of the Great Book Tour!!
