This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_0NoxDPHw6DsCc8FBg6WwSg) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT This morning on my way out the door I heard our Brown Thrasher singing, quite softly now. This is consistent with previously observed behaviour. The thrasher powers back its song and stops singing altogether when nesting begins. There is no need to reveal one's nest location, or perhaps there is just too much to do to spend time singing. Bird behaviour can only be observed and not calculated so projecting human logic on all of this is a mug's game. I usually return home on the Sambro loop in order to look for waders along the coastline. This morning I spotted a Snowy Egret in the Sambro bog. A few years ago I photographed a Snowy Egret and a Great Egret, side by side. I didn't see the Great Egret this morning but this is usual at or near high tide.
