First fall birding trip to Ridgefield NWR

I spent a bit of quality time with a great blue heron.

the spring birds have arrived!

Advice for those interested in setting up their first homebird feeder

I finally made it to Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, and… Sandhill Cranes! (and other birds)

the eBird “find target species” tool can be really useful for finding things to go chase…

Spring is here. So are the birds. And of course my nemisis.

I bought a thing that listens for birds for me

The American Birding Association just released a new online community for birders across North America. You should join in and connect there.

Fall arrived, and I talk about changes that it brings at the bird feeders.

In which I kick the Audubon organization to the curb and offer ideas on the birding community in general. Plus: the name Audubon is problematic.
