Dear fellow birders: As we hunt marsh and field, wood and beach and ridge during this very special (and ephemeral) time of year seeking those journeying birds we love - and find deep satisfaction in the doing - here is some food for thought from a kindred spirit. "There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds......There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter."
