March 19, 2014

So my first annoyance with citizen science has occurred. A woman posted a picture of a macaw nest and pinned it to the University of Miami campus. So I walked around the entire campus for 2 HOURS trying to find this thing. Then I went back to the photo and did a little digging and found out that it wasn't ON the UM campus but "fairly close" to it. That could be anywhere! Oh well, no other breeding evidence seen.

European Starling

Common Grackle

Interesting behavior: the grackles were dive-bombing the Heron that was totally just minding its own business. I didn't see a nest that they were protecting. I wonder why they were doing that...
