Another Rambi ?

A couple years ago we chronicled the adventures of Rambi, a Mourning Dove that Mike VanderStelt reared from a fledgling to an adult.  Yesterday Mike found another abandoned fledgling, this Cedar Waxwing. 


If its parents don’t tend to it, Mike will try to keep it alive as he did with Rambi.  We’ll keep you posted.

Hofma Preserve

I birded Hofma Preserve this morning.  The marsh was unfortunately beautiful with huge patches of purple loosestrife.

I found 17 bird species including Wood Duck, Green Heron, Great Blue Heron,


Cedar Waxwing, Swamp Sparrow and Yellow Warbler.
