Niblet disapproves of waiting I just realized something that threw me for a loop: last year’s birding festival at Oil Creek State Park in western PA, where I met Julie Zickefoose, happened in May. May. Let me stress that the month was May.
Why the stressing? Because here I’ve been thinking the festival happened in late March or early April, which made me ever so excited because it’s now March, which meant that the migration—in my mind, at least—should be starting in two to three weeks. But now I’ve realized, given that last year’s migration was at its peak in May, not March, that I have even LONGER to wait than I thought!
How will I survive? I’ve been so looking forward to the end of March, and now I’m incredibly disappointed that migration won’t really be going here for another two MONTHS, not three weeks!
*heavy heavy sigh*

Niblet looks like he lives in the Land of the Giants! Do you remeber that TV show?
So sorry. That kind of sucks - I feel bad for you.
But you already know I love this photo of Niblet, my Nib-session. I have my own copy.
I like Niblet. It's funny but I never realized how disapproving their faces are until I met Laura's and Sharon's and your bunnehs.
Time is flying by, Delia, don't ya think? May will be here soon. Even here in NC, we still have Juncos (sweet things). It'll be a while...
I guess we have to be like Niblet. One day at a time. Aggghhhhhhhhhhhhh ......... come ON spring!
Migration is already underway. Some of the winter species are starting to clear out. Phoebes and swallows should be here very soon.
Lynne--oh, I loved that show! With their grappling hook made from a paperclip!
Fran--Nibble loves you!
Mary--who knew buns were so contrary!? Time is flying, but it's not getting any warmer...
Rabbits' guy--indeed. ugh.
John--I did finally hear and see some red-winged blackbirds on the marsh last evening--yay!
Niblet you look so cute.
