		<description><![CDATA[This has been a good spring for seeing birds in our local park. In addition to the pair of Yellow-crowned Night Herons that returns each year, we have two and possibly three pairs of Mallards nesting along the stream. During my morning walks with the sprout, I&#8217;ve seen the usual suspects (Northern Flickers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just spotted a new life bird, a Philadelphia Vireo, moving through the trees in my backyard, a gift of both the fall migration and the weather being cool enough for me to open the blinds while I sit at the computer. It stayed long enough for me to make it outside with both the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After being woken up early this morning, we decided to make the most of it and go for a birding walk (something we haven&#8217;t done in months). We first headed to Lake Artemesia, and kept on driving when we saw a park ranger directing people into the lot and a big sign announcing a fishing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a completely gray and rainy Sunday, we took advantage of the beautiful clear weather to walk around Lake Artemesia. I can&#8217;t remember the last time I was up there; they&#8217;ve completely repaved and widened the path around the lake, and have removed at least one tree the roots of which were growing up through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During our week in Acadia, we saw (or heard) about fifty birds. I had this idea that we would be finding warblers everywhere we turned, however, they seem to have mostly migrated by now. We did see a number of new species of warblers and other birds, enabling me to add about a dozen new [...]]]></description>

The full Cash Lake trail was open, not yet closed for the season to protect the waterfowl that winter at the park. In addition to getting some fresh air [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we planned our trip to Hilton Head, I researched the refuges in the area and decided to stick with Pinckney Island NWR. It is close to the island, just over the bridge on the way to the mainland, and it promised miles of walking trails. Once we arrived in the area, I have to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week we took a vacation, our first in four years. It got off to a bit of a rocky start, as we went directly from a family funeral to a full day of driving. Nonetheless, we were glad to be out of town and glad to be seeing someplace new; I&#8217;d been only once, [...]]]></description>

I still need to find usable photos (e.g. those in the public domain or licensed for non-commercial use) and enter a bunch of latin names, but the list of birds itself is now complete. Through doing this update I&#8217;ve realized that [...]]]></description>

While there, I took the opportunity to walk along the Thames and check out the breeding birds. Many were familiar &#8212; Yellow Warblers, House Wrens, Grackles, Robins, Chipping Sparrows, Catbirds, and a Great Blue Heron &#8212; but [...]]]></description>
