Four ML Birders lucked out with a bright, sunny, windless and by mid-morning almost “balmy” day to count the campus birds. Most of the expected birds we commonly see were present
After two rainy and windy days the ML Birders were able to take their census on a day that, weather wise at least, improved through the morning and ended in bright sun and relatively warm temperatures.
The Medford Leas avian census takers met at the Nature Center on a dreary day for the numerators as well as the objects of their pursuit. The woodland trails were eerily silent with only a scattering of birds seen or heard.
A cold (upper 20’s) sunny but windless day greeted the ML Birders at the start of the count. It was spotty for land birds early on but good for waterfowl.
On a cold blustery day the Medford Leas Birders met at the Nature Center at 8 a.m. to commence our sightings and listings. While the temperature never got out of the 20’s the bright sun slowly began to warm the day and rouse the birds.
In February ML birders heard a presentation of Scott McConnell’s new book Witmer Stone, The Fascination of Nature. Witmer Stone was an ornithologist in the early 20th century who wrote Bird Studies in Old Cape May.
