The Bird Show: Notes and a follow-up

[patinagle16]

Steller's jays are back in force this year. I only saw a couple all last winter, but so far this season I've seen five out in the yard. Beautiful bird. More info about it here on Cornell's Ornithology Lab website.

By the way, Cornell's lab sponsors Project Feederwatch, a great program through which bird-watchers collect and contribute data about what birds are in their area. The data is used for studies of migration and so on. And, it's also fun.

Follow-up on the ladderback - he recovered and was released. Nice to think it might be him out there hammering on the wall of the house.
