The weekend was fairly rainy, but on the bright side, the birds were still around, hopping from tree to tree looking for food. Although my camera and I were garbed in a raincoat, we were not quite as suited for the inclement weather as our avian counterparts, and had ...
Well hello there, my fellow birders! I realize it's been a while since I've last posted birding relevance; my 'short hiatus' has been the more liberal label to the three-to-four-year absence from the birding scene. In the meantime, I've had the opportunity to make progress in other areas of ...
