Early each morning, I sit outside in my bird observation area and take in the sights and sounds of nature.

Over the past few months — and even more so over the past few weeks — I have been asked the question, “Where are all of the birds?”

Gayla and I have been in Virginia this past week visiting our son, Jeremy, and his family. We’ve enjoyed being “GG” and “Grampy” to two of our beautiful granddaughters.

This past Friday I led a Jay’s Bird Barn sponsored bird walk to Watson Woods and Watson Lake.

This past weekend, I was in Cortez, Colorado attending the Ute Mountain Mesa Verde Birding and Nature Festival with the Prescott store manager, Ryan.

Team Jay’s Bird Barn enjoyed a delightful bird watching experience earlier this week as we spent time visiting a variety of habitats in an effort to boost our total species count as part of the Prescott Audubon Society Birdathon fundraiser.

The month of May is International Migratory Bird Month and is celebrated across the globe.

Each year I donate a guided bird walk to be auctioned off at the Highlands Center for Natural History’s “Wander the Wild” fundraiser event.

Over the last week or two, I have been engaged in an exchange of emails with a customer who lives in Prescott Valley, near 89A and Viewpoint Drive.
