On Sunday I was driving down Game Farm Road when I saw an Osprey flying low. I
pulled over in the turnout by the soccer field, and the Osprey swooped down in
front of the car, picked up two large talons-full of nesting material, and
flapped up to the nesting platform by the field. I was sure t
Merlin has twice misidentified a junco as a pine warbler in the last two days,
FWIW. Which is not to say you didn't hear a swamp sparrow, Alyssa -- just to
note that Merlin sometimes gets it wrong.

I saw what appeared to be a juvenile or female merlin late this afternoon
around 4:20 p.m. on East Hill Way, hunting in the open woods on the side of the
trail, east of the bridge that crosses Pine Tree Road. It perched right next
to the trail so I could see it without binoculars, and it didn't
Every time I run on East Hill Way, I've been really delighted to hear a
northern mockingbird going through its amazing repertoire of songs. I've heard
him singing since April, so he must be nesting. He seems to hang out on East
Hill Way just as it meets Maple Ave, near the horse pasture.

I’m contemplating a trip to Howland Island tomorrow, but have never been before
and am wondering if anyone has any tips. Are there specific routes that are
better for birders? Do you recommend a driving loop or walking?
Thanks for any insights you can offer.

I birdied Monkey Run tonight, May 13, from about 6-7:15 p.m. It was a lovely
evening, and the trails were full of birds. The highlights were a veery pair
and a flock of warblers, including yellow, yellow-rumped, and a very
cooperative black-throated blue (male). Great crested flycatcher, sapsu
Yesterday afternoon while I was gardening I heard a strange, intermittent
squawking. I knew it was a bird I had never heard in my yard, but couldn’t
identify it. I walked around under my trees with my binoculars, until I saw
what appeared to be a heron perched in my maple tree, which abuts a tin
Hi everyone,
For those of you looking at scopes who also want to throw your purchasing power
behind companies whose values align with your own, you might want to do some
digging into Vortex, which touts its support of the Second Amendment on its
website. I realize this is probably not an issue
I was absolutely elated this morning to hear a bluebird singing lustily from
the top perch of my feeder station. That's the first bluebird I've ever seen
in my yard in the four years I've been living in Ellis Hollow. And as I
watched, it flew off to investigate out one of my bluebird houses.
Hi Nari,
I live off of Ellis Hollow Road (on Hartwood) and I have a pair of pileateds
(and occasionally their offspring) that eat at our suet feeders several times a
day, starting in May. They tend to disappear in late August and then we don't
see them for the entire winter. I've always wonde
