last summer I was sitting at the pond near my apartment when I saw a green heron (i didnāt know what that was at the time) and thought to myself āthere are so many birds around at all times and I have no idea who any of them are!ā Iāve been having so much fun learning my local natural history and being able to tell whoās around from their songs and calls and peckings.
I wonder how many other things Iām always surrounded by that I donāt recognize because I havenāt noticed yet. Like fonts or types of bridges or insects.

Recently, Nicole and I have spent our lunches on the back deck listening to the birds, learning them by their calls, and watching them go to the many feeders weāve set out. Thereās this app called āMerlinā that you can leave recording, and itāll identify all the bird calls it hears. The other day got a great look at a āgreat crested flycatcherā through the vortex vipers. Weād spent the week hunting him down, hearing his call but never getting a glimpse. Finally getting that sighting was rewarding as hell.
