		<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 have vowed that this will be the year we make progress on converting the yard and garden to native plants. This means saying goodbye to the orange daylilies, forsythia, dwarf almond, lilac, and crape myrtle sprout (the large one can stay for now). Wait wait, you might be saying: most of these are popular, [...]]]></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[The Ruby-crowned Kinglets are making their way through our area, likely somewhat stalled by the nasty cold rain we had most of last week. On my way back from the mailbox this morning I passed several little chatterers flitting around in the bushes near the public library. Even better, yesterday I had a kinglet hover [...]]]></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[There have always been a lot of birds around our yard, but this year we seem to have hit a sweet spot in terms of cover and food because we&#8217;ve seen a greater variety of fledgling birds than ever before. It&#8217;s possible that these birds have been here every year and I just haven&#8217;t noticed [...]]]></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>
