Hello birders,
I have not been out today, but several other birders have continued to look
for the Ripley Garden Rufous with no success. If anyone saw her AFTER 5:45
p.m. on Jan. 30, please let me know; otherwise, that will probably be the
last sighting date. It's going to seem empty without our hum around!
Paula Sullivan kindly sent me information about the 3-leg-band Mockingbird
which can often be seen in the Ripley Garden. For those of us who don't
know (that included me), it is part of an SI-sponsored project called
Neighborhood Nestwatch, which encourages individuals to follow the progress
of nesting birds in their own yards. To learn more about this worthy
project, visit the website: http://sio.si.edu/Nestwatch/
Thanks, Paula!
