26 Could 2025
Yesterday morning was sunny and surprisingly heat when eight of us went birding in Schenley Park. We had not less than three causes to search for birds.
Our Finest Hen was a really cooperative pileated woodpecker who occurred to be feminine. We have been amazed that she probed an previous phone pole.
Purple-winged blackbirds have been busy nesting and socializing within the cattails at Panther Hole Lake. The females usually walked alongside poking on the water’s edge, then zipped again into the cattails. Meals for his or her younger? We couldn’t see the nests however we all know they’re within the cattails.
Japanese phoebes have been current and photogenic yesterday. I hoped to discover a phoebe nest, however we didn’t.
And, sure, we had enjoyable.
