The 21 February 2015 FMEL-ORCA conservation stewardship class ends my five week stint doing Saturday bird talks for the group. I had a lot of fun doing it and will miss it though I am sure the students would have something different to say — probably happy to be taking a break from my droning on endlessly. Tomorrow’s talk is on Backyard Birds and features this female Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) clinging to the wire of a bird feeder, along with other birds commonly found in yards, in this case, mainly birds found in my mother’s backyard attracted by her two richly filled bird feeders.
