The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
My latest column is all about Wilson's Snipe, featuring an interview with ace birder/author Rick Wright (no relation) of Bloomfield.
Rick leads tours for Victor Emanuel Nature Tours – including birds and art tours in Guatemala, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Russia, Denmark, and Austria next year.
I took this photo a year ago on Oct. 18 at Crestwood Lake, a great spot to spot snipe.
The column explains why snipe are such a cool bird, and how snipers got their name.
