Climate Crisis

Recurring record breaking weather events such as fires, hurricanes, and flooding have become common news. Pollinators like monarch butterflies and honey bees are in decline. Research now indicates that North America's bird population has decreased by 30% in 40 years. And NEWSFLASH! You can be part of the solution.

Great Backyard Bird Count - Day 2 - Better Start and Unwelcome Visitors

Day 2 has started and we've had some different visitors this morning including two Northern Cardinals and a Red Breasted Nuthatch. The Great Backyard Bird Count has had updates as well, an additional 8,000 checklists submitted since I last posted and an additional 400 species reported.

The map they've shared shows checklists posted from all over the world.

In addition to some welcome visitors, we also had 23 European Starlings show up. It may be a sign that it will soon be time to take down the suet feeder.
