Coming Soon: Baby Bird Season


Baby bird season for song birds (and some other birds, too) usually runs from April to late August or September. Nesting may be starting any time now. Look for all kinds of ingenious nests, like these two! One is a song bird nest in a bicycle bag that was left open in a shed! The other is an osprey nest perched precariously on the point of a dead pine! (I have even seen nests in downtown Chicago, woven only of discarded plastic and cellophane. While it was disheartening to see all the trash, it was also encouraging to see nature's adaptability!)
