Robin,
Thank you for another wonderful read, always happy to see your essays in my inbox.
I also enjoyed "What the Songbirds Know", and I ordered Young's book.
Merlin is the best isn't it? I've put it to the test several times, and it's never wrong. I'm a long time supporter of Cornell Lab - an amazing resource.
Here at the ranch the always tardy tree swallows arrived this week so the spring roster is now full.
The tree swallows, their cousins the barn swallows along with the meadowlarks, horned larks, kildeer, red-wings, yellow heads, curlews, robins will all hopefully raise a couple broods this summer.
Thanks Patrick! I appreciate hearing your perspective too, from a different state and ecosystem… and some birds I don’t see in coastal CA. Enjoy!
Jon Young’s book is from a tracker’s angle— how do you “read” birds to interpret what else is going on in the animal world. He’s devoted decades to learning this topic and has the stories to prove it. Let me know what you think after reading it. 🐦⬛
