Orioles and Other Colourful Birds: May 9, 2022

You have to enjoy the rich, piping whistles of the Baltimore Oriole while you can. Most of their singing is done between about May 1 and early June. They migrate early and few are to be found in our area after early September.

We heard and saw several this morning at the upper Scarborough Bluffs.

NATURE POETRY


Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets.
To plant a pine, one need only own a shovel.                        –  Aldo Leopold (1887–1948)
