Hi all, Today morning at about 9.00 am, I had a flock of 6 to7 Ruby-crowned Kinglets inspecting one of my large maple trees with out any leaves (all other maples have lots of foliage left) along with chickadees and a Brown Creeper!
Yesterday there were more than a dozen of noisy Ruby-crowned Kinglets on Forest Home Drive and I found out they were noisy because they were family flocks and fledgling were begging for food from the parents. Some of the parents were trying to chase the begging kids, indicating them that it was high time they started finding their own food. Now OT- Has any one done any trips to Ecuador recently? Jane?? I am interested in going to southern part of Ecuador to Podocarpus and Caja national parks along with a few days in Mindo and Pappallacta and possibly revisit the Galapagos depending on the availability of the boats. If you have been to any of these national parks I am interested in hearing about these. And also if anyone is interested in joining me shoot an e-mail to m...@cornell.edu<mailto:m...@cornell.edu>.
