The Boston Ave Red Tail nest has two tiny, fuzzy chicks in it. I watched for a little bit early this afternoon. The mother sat on the edge of the nest...

About 6 Yellow Warblers surround the sparrow pit area and a possible Orchard Oriole flew out of the pit. The quick look I had seemed to be dark chestnut on the...

Hi Everyone, A very brief walk yesterday along the road with the new fence, which I hate. I can't see over the fence as I was able to do before. Now I have...
Some years I dip on this bird, so I wasn't surprised to miss a few that were reported the past week. I was rewarded this morning by a total of (4!) Blue-winged...
My suggestion would be to clean your bird feeders more frequently - maybe do it every day while that bird is around. It could just be he is old or got...
It's sort of like swine flu - you gotta avoid close proximity to others that may be infected. Feeders can increase that proximity, so if you see a sick bird...
Hi Renee, Thanks for posting this. Paul Devaney and I found the Cerulean this morning, right where you said. By the time I was leaving, it had moved a little...
