I agree with Neil, red-winged blackbirds are one of our favorite sights (and sounds) here in western Oregon. Unfortunately we haven't seen any yet the last few months
Really nice essay Richard. That's an interesting contrast between the two sides of the yard with one left to nature and the other planned managed.
I too am looking forward to the return of the Red-winged Blackbirds. We have had a few reports of them just south of Ottawa the past few days. I didn't see any on my hike today at Britannia Conservation Area though. Hopefully in the next week or two. That “Conk-a-ree” call always makes me smile.
This was a JOY to read. And links to forests around the world, to boot. ❤️🤝Thank you Richard
Great essay to read on this cold but sunny February morning. Hope springs eternal.
