Welcome to your Public Forum! Please use it to tell all of us what birds you are seeing in your yard, your neighborhood, on your balcony or fire escape, or in your favorite park. Tell us about any wildlife refuges you are visiting. And the birds you are seeing – what are they doing? Are they singing, nest-building, flying, foraging, sitting still and resting? Are they interacting with those of their own species or with others? Are they by themselves? In a flock? Ask questions and learn more about topics that are important to you. And remember, no question is too basic or simple – we all have to start somewhere. If you are having trouble posting, have something to discuss with me, or have a question for me, please email me at lindahendricksspence@birdingbeyondthefieldguide.com.

Rose-breasted Grosbeaks arrived here in Pittsburgh four or five days ago too! One of the first things I do each morning is put my iPad out on our deck for a half hour or so to get the list of what Merlin is "hearing" in and around our yard. This past week has been exciting! The migration is definitely in full swing. I wish we could actually see all the species listed, but it's certainly nice to know they are out there, close by, somewhere.

I so agree! And now with leaves about half grown on the trees, it is getting harder and harder cleon and me to see the warblers and vireos who are migrating through - also the Red-eyed Vireos and Warbling Vireos who stay in our yard/neighborhood for the summer. Merlin hears them. I hear them. But who can actually see them? Linda
