Today I volunteered with a local birding program to teach 3rd graders about birding. they were great kids, seemed interested, and always paid attention. Some of them even pointed out an Olive-Sided Flycatcher and a Cliff Swallow. A great experience for me, I think it was good for the kids too! 
I saw a few Bullock’s Orioles around my house, and thought nothing of it. then, a week later there were four, not two. Now I can enjoy eight orioles from my back porch, watching them squabble with some local Acorn Woodpeckers. flitting around, and teasing my cat, they are a beautiful sight.

I have recently seen a pair of Ash-throated Flycatchers nesting near my house. Here’s a photo of an Ash-Throated, sitting in it’s natural habitat. The Ash-Throated is an amazingly intriguing bird. With a flashy yellow chest, dark, ashy throat, and conspicuous orangish flashes on the wing, it will always be among my favorites, and always be a delight to see when I peer through my binoculars and…there it is!
At Beatlesrockr’s suggestion, this thread is about Peregrine Falcons.

I’d like to write a page about my ‘life with the birds’ as i call it. for instance, yesterday morning i saw both Hutton’s & Warbling Vireos outside my window. i’d like to share how profoundly magical this experience was, not to mention other sightings.

Here’s where I put…most things things that are–well–random. post anything about birds, (or wildlife in general) .
