Phenology is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as “the study of periodic biological phenomena, such as flowering, breeding, and migration, especially as related to climate”.
This is certainly a topic of interest to birders, from the casual to the devoted. If you notice something that you think will be of interest to other birders, please submit a comment and we will post it. Have you seen a flock of flickers in your nearby park? Or maybe a slew of cedar waxwings in your cedar trees. Whether it is the first or last robin of the year, or the nest you have in your tree, another birder will find it of interest.
Thanks for your submissions, and remember, there are still interesting birds to see this time of year – and always!
