They’re Back! They’re back from south of the border! Each year we look forward to seeing the return of this elfin member of the Tyrant Flycatcher family arrive, build their nests and raise their young. Last week I thought I heard a male announcing himself in our nearby woods. Yesterday that voice was confirmed and then this sprightly character showed up. Now, buddy, get to work on those flies and mosquitoes! ~ Anecdote and Western Flycatcher capture, They’re Back! © Jerry L. Ferrara

Johnny One-Note This is a Nuthatch [sp. Red-breasted]. It was Vicki’s grandmother’s favorite bird. Nanny called it “Johnny One-Note” because of its characteristic, repeated one-note nasally call. Every time we hear the species vocalizing we are reminded of this great lady. ~ Anecdote and Red-breasted Nuthatch capture, Johnny One-Note © Jerry L. Ferrara
