Woolly bears overwinter under leaf litter in a sort of hibernation. Of course, reasonable folk realize that this caterpillar is no Cassandra at all. This caterpillar is black on both ends with a middle band a birder could only describe as rufous. The broader the bear’s black bands, the worse the winter.

Prior to their release he arranged his basement with litter boxes, a bed, and places to hide. Of course there was a settling-in period. He trapped them, provided veterinary care for them, and released them … into his basement. They were afraid of people and not used to being inside.

Unless, of course, a small aircraft is involved. Driving slowly along the entrance road to the lodge we came upon a lone Marail Guan dabbling in the leaf litter nearby. Of course, after a gruelling all-day drive, what do we do after dinner? The sun was already threatening to dip beyond the treeline, and there was not much time.

Forest Park, Queens, New York, April 2008 On Thursday, a day that I didn’t have to be at work until noon, I, of course, got up early and took a stroll through Forest Park. Well, I didn’t really so much as take a stroll through Forest Park as I took a stroll to the water hole in Forest Park and sat and looked at the birds.

Of course the birds are free to travel and so they do! They have very powerful beaks and claws and it is not uncommon to see where they have been by the leaf litter below the large trees. Your skin is desperately dry and it is as close to flying that anybody is going to get! They are still destructive as they feed in the native trees.

Though spring migration is only just starting to ramp up there, of course I had to visit the Ramble. The Magic Hedge in Chicago, of course. I applaud responsibility, but please don’t litter.) Not only was it pleasure, it was now that most dignified of activities, Research. Plum Beach in Brooklyn. C’mon, guys.

Of course, in these situations, you can also ask yourself what birds might think of these places. A golf course in the desert can be an oasis of food and shade to a hungry migrant that has been flying all night. Pine Lake Park, San Francisco, CA. An urban park can hold the same appeal…an oasis of green in a concrete desert.
