Hello, Birders. Ah, "new media." Just saw this tweet from Connie Kogler: > Go moonbirding now! It's amazing. > 26 minutes ago via web from Uptown, Denver So I stepped outside, put my bins to the moon, and saw a bird flying "left to right" (north to south) across the disk of the moon. Then another. Then another. Then more. It looks like a pretty high-altitude flight, what with the very gentle winds out of the northwest right now. But a few of the birds are lower, as I heard a likely Brewer's Sparrow and a pretty definite Wilson's Warbler. If you're online now, get off the computer while the moon is still pretty low in the sky, and go outside and watch. You need binoculars or a scope of course. Viewing tip: Go straight from your brightly lit monitor to somewhere well lit outside. You do NOT want for your eyes to adjust to the dark, as the nearly full moon, seen through bins, will seem blindingly bright to dark-adjusted eyes. Just go straight outside, point your bins at the moon, and marvel. Thanks, Connie! ------------------------------- Ted Floyd Editor, Birding Follow Birding magazine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BirdingMagazine -------------------------------
