Great reminders for us all during this season! As a birder without a driver's license, I've been a patch birder and backyard birder ever since the beginning. I think it's important to remember that valuable data isn't always just collecting ticks at the popular hotspots; gathering data and doing counts in neighborhoods actually helps us learn more about how birds live alongside people. I've been keeping close watch on my yard these past few days, since spring was on its way and is now here (albeit freezing cold now). A pair of House Finches have been building a nest in a small juniper in my backyard, and it's been very cool to watch the American Robins display. The American Goldfinches have just started displaying in my neighborhood as well. My yard life list is at 64 right now, so I suppose being quarantined during this year's spring migration might give the the opportunity to raise that to 70.... *The birds are happy, and so am I* *~Caleb Alons*
