All systems go for birding this week / myLot

Mylotters, I've checked the weather forecast for this Wednesday's rescheduled birding. It would be 44 degrees that morning and clear. Looks like it's going to be happen after a few delays or two. I'll be bundled up in my hoodie and gloves and definitely bringing my tea in my thermos to warm me up for the one-hour shift. I haven't gotten any emails from the lead avian keeper at the zoo. If I don't get anything from her in 24 hours, it's going to happen for sure. I just wish it would be warmer 36 hours from her with the sun. Like last week, I promise to give you a full report with a photo or two on Wednesday night. I still have time to study a digital guide book on the birds in Ohio between now and then. Keep your fingers crossed!

Is this a hobby or work? I don't think I have the patience and endurance to remain quiet and in a fixed position for a long period to bird watch. A stiff neck from looking up is also not enviable.

Neither. This is just a special mission project from my zoo. Fourteen volunteers excluding myself had signed up for it in late August. It's only for an hour looking for birds in trees or those who collided into buildings (doors/windows).

@KristenH What do you do once you find these unfortunate birds? We've had birds flying into our house through open windows.
