Hi Sandra,
I’m so glad to read about your evening! You had so many high-quality moments with exciting birds! (I was also glad to read about that unexpected Green Heron moment you had last week!) I hope all is well with you. My family and I are staying productive and happy together and well so far, with some time for birding too, as you may have read here on the listserv. I will miss seeing you on the Spring Bird Quest, but I will look forward to your further reports! I still think of that birding walk that you and my son Tilden and I had at Hammond Hill, especially your extremely helpful and memorable advice about various paths one can take with a law degree. Tilden remains very interested in policy, especially on energy and the environment. He seems to be settling on economics as his major. He also has a climate-change policy internship this summer with an NGO in California. Beyond that, he hasn’t yet decided on his academic and professional directions – but he still has lots of time to decide and even to change his mind completely (just finished first year as an undergrad). Stay well and stay in touch, Mark *From:* bounce-124630240-3493...@list.cornell.edu [mailto: bounce-124630240-3493...@list.cornell.edu] *On Behalf Of *Sandra Lynn Babcock *Sent:* Wednesday, May 13, 2020 10:34 PM *To:* CAYUGABIRDS-L <cayugabird...@list.cornell.edu> *Subject:* [cayugabirds-l] Magical evening at Monkey Run 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, sapsuckers galore, a pair of orioles, a chattering belted kingfisher, and the usual repertoire of woodpeckers, catbirds, and red-winged blackbirds rounded out the evening. And a chorus of spring peepers to escort me back to my car.
