Some local species may seem ho-hum to us, but visitors from abroad will rave about them.

We have seen irruptive species — residents of the northern woodlands that irrupt (migrate) southward when their foods are scarce.

Fast-flying falcons are frequently found in these parts at this time of the year.

On Nov. 21, Tom and Jen Hawkins were driving along and noticed a small animal standing on the white line at the edge of the road.

The “damndemic” as I call the Covid-19 pandemic has created an incredible uptick in bird watching.
