It has been great to be back on the island, with a friend who came with me for Warblers on the Water, a birding festival following the spring migration. We've been part of field trips to two of the 'outer islands' (outer for us, of course) -- Garden and High -- and have seen or heard over 50 different species, according to the birding experts we were with. How many birds did I photograph well enough to identify? FOUR! But it's been a lot of fun anyway. I could not believe that within 30 minutes of arrival, this American Bald Eagle was on the beach, welcoming us (at a distance, of course).
@rosiekerr It's hard to believe it's already summer, especially since we never really had spring. I"m back in Chicago for a few days, til Saturday's trip up for the season with Jim. Hope all is well at your end.
