I’m in the middle of three different bird surveys for work and it’s been a fantastic way to watch the changes in fall migration in Minnesota. It’s not an exact science, but it’s to get an idea of general usage and to see how the habitat can be managed in a better way for migratory feeding.

Over the least couple of weeks the best view I’ve had of Minnesota has been out my northward facing window. There is a bit of science news. so I’m a bit behind in my intense pursuit of scientific findings related to birds. But I do have a few items. First, the bird butts. All I see are their buts. But there were a gazillion of them.
