Sometimes, something in nature just shouts at you. That was the case a few days ago when a bright red bird just yelled its colors at me. I knew this was not your everyday sparrow (no offense to sparrows at all). I did not need my field glasses this little bird was so bright. I got out my phone, opened my trusty Merlin Bird ID app, and figured it out. A Scarlet Tanager. I also listened on the app to the songs it makes, and realized I have been hearing its song for a few days already. Now I could see him.
My husband is a bird lover and we have a bird feeder. His favorite is the Painted Bunting. It's so beautiful and hard to attract. He has an app which identifies birds by their song as well as one from Cornell University.
The Oslo Freedom Forum is so important. I look forward to your report. I know I can count on you!
So exciting! Bon voyage.
THank you!
Guilty as charged. I saw a bright red bird in a friend's yard the other evening. Of course I had to ask what it was.
Looking forward to seeing the drawings of your trip. Have a wonderful time.
Thank you!

The orinthology center at Cornell is a brilliant resource! So happy you mentioned them.

Totally laughed out loud at the scarlet tanager cartoon!
