The ground is still warm enough to melt the snow – but it sure [...] Resident Bat on Ceiling We had another visit with Dan Taylor from Bat Conservation International.

This class is geared to beginning birders – you don’t need to know how to tell one sparrow from the other. [...] We have the most incredible wildlife that goes through our yard!
