Any other kilted birders out there?

[Ozark Ridge Rider]

We had many people tell us, as we made our way up to Canada a few weeks ago, that we were in the right place at the wrong time.

"Oh, yes, you can see dozens of birds at Jackson Bottoms Wetlands, but not at this time of year..."

"We live right in the middle of a major flyway here in White Rock, but not at this time of year..."

Guess we have to make the trip in January!

Be well,

It's always that way - "You shoulda been here last week/month/spring etc". That applies to weather, wildflowers, fishing, and hunting as well as birding. But as you travel, or in your backyard, just keep your eyes open. Often the best times are the serendipitous ones.

I usually have the long binoculars (we have several pairs of different powers and angles) and a guide to British birds about - not long ago there were goldfinches pecking seedheads in the back garden of the house next door, and there are all sorts of small birds in the locality. The largest are the wood pigeons, but I have never thought to count or record them - I just enjoy watching them.
