Today was supposed to be the Young Birders Hike at Sandy Ridge Reservation. However, there was a problem. For the second month in a row we had a complete absence of young birders. It’s a little disappointing that teens are not coming out for the hikes.
It was tough birding today. The wind was really blasting ahead of the front that is coming through. For most of the morning there were 20-30 MPH sustained winds with occasional stronger gusts. Then there would be periods of calm.
I left the camera in the car today. Big mistake. I missed excellent opportunities to photograph Prothonotary Warblers and Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks. Now that I know where the Prothonotary’s are nesting, I’ll head back out.
Sunday is the 5th of 6 Spring Bird Walks at the Rocky River Nature Center. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
