When You're Hot...
I'm not really a big birdwatcher, but I'm curious about the world around me, and like to know the names of things, so do pay attention to the birds. This afternoon was quite amazing bird-wise, as I went for a short walk in the garden, before going to pick up my wife from the university hospital, where she's an oncology nurse. On my walk, in addition to the usual birds, I saw an orchard oriole, a ruby throated hummingbird, and I nailed down a bird I wasn't 100% sure of before, the red eyed vireo, both by getting a really good look at it, and hearing its distinctive song. Also I saw two completely new birds to me, the yellow throated vireo, and the prairie warbler (a real looker). Not bad for a ten minute walk in the back yard!
