PossibleUnderscore WooHoo! A creative celebration of birds here Apr 15, 2011
reesetee Aha. I must have been thinking about the prime weeks when all the tourists arrive. Thanks, r. Feb 18, 2011
ruzuzu The first Sandhill cranes start arriving in Nebraska around Valentine's Day, but things really pick up in early March. Feb 18, 2011
reesetee They're coming through already? Wow; that's a little scary. Feb 18, 2011
ruzuzu Yesterday I saw blue jays, cardinals, and a couple of friendly robins... and today I think I saw a cute little chickadee. I hear the Sandhill cranes have started to migrate through, but I haven't seen any of them yet.
Edit: Grus canadensis are "Sandhill cranes," not "Sandhills cranes." Feb 17, 2011
hernesheir Today (2/17) in north-central Florida, winter in northern climes, robins, titmice, cedar waxwings, and Carolina wrens were taking it in turns drinking water from a 5-gallon paint bucket that I use to catch rainwater for use in the vegetable garden. My big tomcat drinks from that same bucket too. Thankfully, he observes birds, as I do, and does not hunt them. Feb 17, 2011
