Check out this owl map. I'm going to try to figure out how to contribute sightings & also how to look for owls.

Blog entry

On some weekend afternoons I liked to go walk around my old neighborhood looking for birds. I would carry the binoculars with me, but I never quite figured out the right way to not look/feel totally freaky using binoculars near people's houses.

I still think the secret is to pretend to be an authority. (Obviously that's a problem for me if I'm writing this post.)

Activity

A great activity for winter biology, in places with leaves that fall off trees: identifying twigs. The twigs shouldn't change much for the long winter, so you have lots of time. You can do this indoors, and what you learn makes a landscape of barren trees and shrubs a little more welcoming and approachable.

Background

Scarred twigs
