http://kellyandsarah.blogspot.com/2011/05/nesting-nocturnal-birds.html
When people think of nocturnal birds, owls are usually the first, and often the only birds that come to mind. In addition to owls, birds from the family Caprimulgidae add their voices to the fascinating tapestry of night time sounds. There are two species that breed in the Florida panhandle.

The Plover Nest: "State of the State Birds", or no I actually don't have this much time on my hands
http://thebirdinglife.blogspot.com/2009/09/state-of-state-birds-or-no-i-actually.html
Wednesday, September 2, 2009. State of the State Birds", or no I actually don't have this much time on my hands. Ok, this is a complete repost from something I wrote for my livejournal back in 2006. Now that I have a birding blog it seemed right to revisit the idea. So without further ado here it is. Shouldn't a state bird reflect something interesting about the state? Getting it right the first time, the states that did a good job. 1 Oklahoma: Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. Ah here is a state that did i...

The Plover Nest: August 2012
http://thebirdinglife.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 24, 2012. The state bird of the hypothetical state of Superior? Superior is a northern land, filled with boreal and boreal-hardwood transitition forests, interspersed with myriad inland lakes, all tucked in cozily between the shores of the three mightiest Great Lakes.

Through this, I learned that the first Even...

To start what will hopefully be a late summer and fall filled with many nature adventures that I can share on "The Birding Life", I wanted to report on a short trip Nikki and I went on to look for one of Michigan's rarest species, the federally endangered Mitchell's Satyr Butterfly.
