The annual Crane Count, coordinated by the International Crane Foundation, was held on April 12. It was a beautiful morning to count cranes and enjoy the wetland birds.

As I write this, the snow is falling in the most delightful way. The chickadees are flitting about as if to encourage and confirm that winter birding is fun and productive! Little do they know, a community of hundreds of volunteers combed the city on Saturday, counting them and their feathered comrades for the Madison-area Christmas Bird Count.
