With the recent deluge of rain here in the Eastern United States, it's been slow going for us wildlife watchers. Since it has rained so much every weekend,...
... I have noticed that with the cool rainy weather, more birds are coming into the feeders now too. Many have young to feed and the cool, rainy weather is...

Wow, it's been awhile. I apologize for that - we had a conference, and we moved into our first house. I guess it got the better of us. I will be back in the...
I found this article on the Washington Post's website this morning, and was happy to read that so many people tried to help the mother duck and the ducklings...
All, just wanted to quickly share the best wildlife sighting we've had recently. Holly, Aron, and I went up to Shenandoah National Park. Among only a few...
This really was a great sighting, and is just another reason why Shenandoah National Park is one of the best national parks in the U.S. Holly ... From: Jeremy...
We have on the side of our house, a bird's nest built by one of our resident robins. It looks like she chose never to use the nest, and we're left wondering...
Holly, You can take the nest down - chances are no other bird will use it and it would be too decrepit to be used by next spring. Birds often build more than...
My only reluctance to take it down was the thought that another bird might use it as shelter during a storm this summer. Do you think there is a high chance...
Birds won't shelter in a nest during a storm - they are more likely to seek shelter in a nice dense tree (cedars, etc.) or thicket. Most birds actually relish...
I did see an amusing story in the August (2003) issue of Birder's World about a nest. The writer, Lisa Paull, discovered that a poorly constructed nest of a...
It has been quite a while since Holly and I have been able to get back out into the elements. When we did this past weekend, we were rewarded, despite the 3...

Lisa, Welcome to the group! That sounds like a great sighting, I don't think I've ever seen a hummingbird stop long enough to take a bath, what a treat! Holly...
Well, I imagine we'll see Virginia and Maryland following closely behind N.J. pretty soon. I know that the federal government has threatened to take away...
This was a very informative article on the American Crow, which was in the Washington Post magazine this past Sunday. It seems to me that the crow is one of...
Why did the turtle cross the road? Why, to get to the housing development on the other side! At least that's what we thought this morning when Jeremy spotted...
This is a bit late but we went to Occoquan Refuge on August 2 and had lots of neat butterfiles. Here's the list: Eastern Comma Zebra Swallowtail Eastern Tiger...
