Impending invasion

Posted on March 14th, 2010 in Backyard Birds, Migration, North America

Migration is on! Woodcocks are peenting, Red-wing Blackbirds are konk-la-reeing, Sandhills are bugling, Purple Martins are scouting. Birds are on the move and their songs are filling the air once more.

Here’s wishing all birders a great silly season!
