Snow Geese in Flight

A Wordless Wednesday video clip from our day-trip to Dead Creek to see the Snow Geese.

And That’s Why Birds Do It…

Spring seems to be coming to Vermont and the birds are all a twitter. Chickadees are crooning their “hey, sweetie” song and the male cardinal in the neighborhood is making sure everyone knows he’s ready to get it on. That ray gun-like song is like Barry White to the female cardinal apparently.

Getting My Beek-On

I have been a naturalist for more than 15 years enjoying the beauty of the Northeast. Working for Audubon in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire & Massachusetts. On the surface, it would seem that I was a bird geek from the start. But whoa there, not so! I was a generalist when in came to natural history and to tell you the truth - turned off by \"birders\".

Competitive, stuffy and sometimes rude, I got turned off of birding. Just not interested. Not interested until I met a number of laid-back, fun-loving, knowledge-sharing Vermonters who really turned me on to birding. Blame them for my uber-birder status now with a serious dose of craziness, science & conservation now all mixed together!
