Good Friends and Birds
Photo by Toni As I watched the sun come up from my dining room window blue skies began to appear crystal clear and not one cloud to mar its beauty. I could hear Presque Isle beckon me to its shore. I called Michele and made arrangements to catch up with her later mid morning at the park. What a glorious day as PI state park is just starting to really paint

White throats and yellow rumps!

When the action is slow……
This is supposed to be Fall Migration here at Presque Isle State Park. Yet the Warbler migration has been extremely slow, at least nothing like the Spring Migration. So what does someone do who is interested in birds and photography. Well, there’s always the Gulls…they always seem to be around. And while looking for them, you never know what else might pop up. So off I went for the day. The Erie Bay gave up this Ring Billed Gull in a very majestic pose. The Ring-Billed Gull is probably the most common gull in the area. This is a second year or a fully matured bird.

Bird Banding at Presque Isle
The banding table at site #2 The first time I held a bird my heart was just as excited as the bird. What an awesome experience I never would have dreamed of years ago. I had read in our Presque Isle Audubon newsletter that Dr. Sarah Sargent was looking for volunteers to help with bird banding. She had just taken over banding at

Mom always called me a “Bug Artist”
Really, she did! Of course, she said it when I was being a particularly pesty child (although I prefer to think of it as “inquisitive”). I called her today to see where the term came from (its etymology, not to be confused with entomology) and she told me that she wasn’t sure, but, that her mother used to call her and her siblings bug artists when they were “bugging” her. So apparently the term has been handed down through a generation of notorious “b
