It feels like spring literally flew by! It can feel that way when we have an exciting spring bird migration with plenty of action as we had these past months. It seemed like we had waves of migratory birds land on the island at least once, sometimes twice a week as the birds met quite a bit of northern headwinds throughout the season. Despite the challenging winds, I didn’t see many totally exhausted birds this year, so I think most did well, which is always good to see.

The annual City Nature Challenge is a great opportunity to explore. I love a BioBlitz. It’s a time to challenge myself. It’s an anything goes, exciting nature venture that’s ever-changing, whether because of human involvement of the land or from the elements of the great beyond. This year was especially interesting, possibly because of storms at sea sending a variety of treasures to the beach. The dry land also gave up a few secrets. I’ve captured some interesting observations in this story-trilogy.
