Bottoms Up!

It’s the weekend, have a beer. I earned at least one today with two hours of birding at Vischer Ferry before work and three hours at Papscanee and the Tech Park after work, netting seven new year birds!

How good is a day that included my first of the year Eastern Kingbird, Bank Swallow, Wood Thrush (how I’ve missed their song), American Redstart, Rose-breasted Grosbeak and orioles of both the Baltimore and Orchard variety? I’ll tell you how good a day…pretty freaking good. Hope your weekend is as good as my Friday!

Oh, and here is a link to the nestbox camera for the Peregrine Falcon nest on the Dunn Memorial Bridge that connects Albany and Rensselaer.

A team of researchers has found that the populations of common birds around the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan has plummeted. Most disturbingly, the populations of species that the area has in common with Chernobyl has fallen more in Fukushima than they did in the site of worst nuclear disaster in world history.
