Birds certainly touch every part of my day-to-day life, and this part of the year is like Christmas morning every day!<br /><br />@jan_m - I keeping thinking that neat study in our area would be arrival dates (of birds on territories, not just fly-overs) at different elevations. I always note I find birds several days, if not later, on our hill in Horseheads than reports from the lower elevations.<br /><br />Then there are birds that are dirt common below (mockingbirds, Carolina Wren) but rare to find at our place. Maybe our hill is simply sub-optimal habitat and we're getting the young males who can't stake out a good spot in the valley!<br /><br />-Mikenoflicksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404386000823552954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451484812160865521.post-21474170310833033522009-04-20T06:49:00.000-04:002009-04-20T06:49:00.000-04:00Mike, glad you had such a good count that day.

Many song sparrows, as you said. I watched for a towhee, as last year was the first sighting for me, and it was there at Spencer Crest, but no luck this year.jan mhttp://emurphey.com/jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451484812160865521.post-75211876059373485572009-04-20T04:49:00.000-04:002009-04-20T04:49:00.000-04:00fabulous photos. aren't birds just the grandest li...fabulous photos. aren't birds just the grandest little things?!Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02523247895437700129noreply@blogger.com
