As Anguilla transitions into the Spring/Summer breeding season, I share some special moments I experienced on East End Pond over the last several months.
From January to April of 2024 I recorded 49 species of birds on this wetland. Some of these birds were camera-shy, but others were real hams! I recorded some of my time at this site and am happy to share this with you in my latest “Pond Cast.”
I will be “On De Road” over the next few weeks and will not have access to my computer. I plan to capture some interesting new adventures to share with you when I return.
Now that I have left you in suspense, I will assign you homework. It is a good way to test if you have been paying attention over the last two years of this newsletter.
As you view this video, please identify the individual species you see. I look forward to your bird lists in the comments below this post.
