- Comments: "Flew into wildflower meadow, clear white patches on outer tail feathers. Shape felt appropriate for a meadowlark, roughly starling size, and was definitely not a sandpiper, which was my other thought given the tail markings. No photos unfortunately and I could not refind"



"There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for spring." — Rachel Carson


"Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?"
