2019-05-04 Thread Bill McAneny
About 4 Barn Swallows arrived today at their traditional summer home in our barns.  We had begun to worry that we would not see them this year. In past years we had taken down the previous year's nests, which did not seem to make any difference to the birds.  This year the old nests are still

After reading so many exciting bird posts in the last few days, I knew I had to go out looking for warblers this am. Right off of Lounsberry Rd (Brooktondale) is the Brookton Cemetery which rises above rushing 6 Mile Creek and is framed by a mature deciduous forest. High up in the maples I saw
