Bird brained stories!: August 2005

http://birdbrainedstories.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 25, 2005. Yesterday morning, after arising at the surreal hour of 4am, I was privileged to see a bird that at one point numbered 15 in the world. The experience is one about which I've dreamed, to the point it made my list of 43 things to do. Yesterday, I got to watch the flight training of juvenile Whooping Cranes. I have been jealous of Ural ever since, but after yesterday, my green-eyed monster has been sufficiently fed. We were taken through an oak savannah restoration area that was ...

Bird brained stories!: November 2005

http://birdbrainedstories.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 26, 2005. Dreams of boreal species. Spending a few days in far northern Wisconsin to eat turkey and visit with in-laws, I had visions of Boreal Chickadees, Grey Jays, Redpolls, Crossbills, Bohemian Waxwings and any northern owls dancing in my head. What did I find? Let's see. A bunch of Black-Capped Chickadees and four Mourning Doves. That's it! I seem to have better luck staying right where I am, like I did before we left for the great white north. I was in the car right away. Sure en...

Bird brained stories!: May 2005

http://birdbrainedstories.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 30, 2005. Salute to the West Salem Class of 2005! Posted by Gwyn Calvetti at 8:03 PM. A new type of graduation display? Every spring, as I work in my gardens I'll look up high in the trees when I hear a familiar song. I search the tops of the tallest branches for that flash, and it's there. This lasts about four days, then it's back to the usual suspects in my corner lot. Posted by Gwyn Calvetti at 7:51 PM. Sunday, May 22, 2005. A new family in town? If indeed they are nesting in my yard, my ...

Bird brained stories!: October 2005

http://birdbrainedstories.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 27, 2005. The weather has turned and the feeders are fast becoming THE place to be, at least for our year-round birds. Black-capped chickadees, house finches, goldfinches, downy woodpecker, cardinal, blue jays, juncos and my personal favorite- -the White Breasted Nuthatch. Whatever it is, I hope they will grace my birdfeeder tables throughout this winter to come. Posted by Gwyn Calvetti at 10:38 AM. Sunday, October 23, 2005. Along with the juncos, the Black-Capped Chickadees seem to be ...

Bird brained stories!: June 2005

http://birdbrainedstories.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 25, 2005. Of broken wings and strong roots. There is a saying, give your children roots and give them wings. Certainly, the nesting birds I see now are trying to do just that; grounding their fledglings in the protective instincts needed for survival and the family values that separate a Grackle from a Robin. They're free at the moment, but without the loving care needed to rehabiliate and fix that wing, it's only a matter of time before the cat strikes again and is successful. American Re...

Bird brained stories!: July 2005

http://birdbrainedstories.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 30, 2005. So, I was actually out birding. How wrong I was! When I first started down the trail, it seemed like all sign of avian life had gone. No ducks! No egrets. Not even a lousy Red-Winged Blackbird! I got up early? Further on, a brood of new-from-the-box Wood Ducks sat on a deadfall, with Mama Duck roosting on one end. Watching- and shooting- -they eventually grew impatient, as children will, and one, then the others, darted into the water in defiance of Mama. It would seem th...Poste...
