Since 2020, every Thanksgiving and Christmas, weather-permitting, I drive out to our nearest state park and leave "treats" for wildlife, either for familiar residents or others just passing through. Mostly quality birdseed, but also fruits and nuts. And I then end my mission by saying a short prayer or reading a pertinent passage from a favorite book.
Bob, you said that the raven was soaring along with another birder. About how high up were they? :) My friend Kyle Wiktor says the Raven was first in IL since 2007. I'm trying to confirm that.
Outside on our acreage here in Ka’u, Big Island Hawaii. Plan to observe, record and report findings in a great sketchbook I just found. I’m excited to be at home surrounded by nature and beauty. Great reminder of what we all find nearby…thank you!
I’ll be in Maine so to the shore we’ll go.

Mt Washington and Crawford Notch NH. Expect to see a raven or two and with any luck a whisky jack.
Wow, stay warm up there!

Oof! I’ll have to correct that. I saw that record from Lake County. But I don’t know about the rest of the state.
https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/alalaproject/, this is out local bird, more being released, exciting.

How fantastic! What a great place to be. Also, I'm glad crows are receiving attention there.
I haven’t decided where to bird on Friday yet but it’ll be in Cook County for sure 🙂
There certainly are many good options close to home!
