No birds around here lately, unless you count me running in circles and flapping my flightless wings in despair of how much I still have to get done before the big trip to Montana!*
Not as many birds as usual in Prospect Park, either…. I was going to rant about it, but Corey has the low-down. Let me just say, GEESE DO NOT WORK THAT WAY. At best, eliminating all the geese within seven miles of the airport only ensures that the offspring of the geese eight or more miles from the airport have a nice cozy territory to call their own next spring, anyway.
*Protip: this does not make packing go any faster. It also doesn’t help when people want to skin you for a museum, boil you for oil, or execute you as a witch. The more you know!

Trip to Montanna? Sounds nice. Good time of the year to be there. Driving? Going-to-the-Sun Highway? Have fun.

I’m actually going to be there for three years, getting my MFA, and plan on checking out Going-to-the-Sun Highway at some point. We are driving out from New York, it should take a little more than a week.

Where are you birding in Montana? If around Bozeman, maybe we could go birding together?

All over! As I mentioned above, I’ll be in Montana for quite a while, so we should definitely go birding at some point.
