Not sure the weather could have been worse for spring
birding this last weekend, but the birds are here and they are doing their thing, regardless. Saw my first Yellow Warbler in the Forest Preserve on a cold Sunday morning through my
Zeiss Victory 8x20 and, despite the chilly temps, the air was alive with Chimney Swifts. Let's face it. The birds are on a tight schedule this time of year. There are families to raise, after all. Anyone who is not carrying a
binocular or, at least, a
monocular is missing all the activity.
