Touring the backroads and national forest roads during our September trip to Jackson, WY.

Chimney Swift Migration Roost - First United Methodist Church, Huntsville, AL.  In early fall large groups of Chimney Swifts migrate through North Alabama. In the evening the swifts gather in flocks, circle in a tornado-like mass to enter and roost in large chimneys for the night.

Birding along the Gulf Coast is a most rewarding experience for viewing migratory song birds and shore birds returning from their wintering in the tropics.  During the month of April millions of birds fly over the Gulf of Mexico and stop to rest and feed before continuing north as far as Canada.

A pair of Red-tailed Hawks picked a nesting site outside a 3rd story window of the Huntsville Public Library.  The location provides an exceptional, unobstructed view looking into the nest.

Went on a walk this morning with family.

I watched two Red-tailed Hawks today in Asheville, NC getting attacked by a Northern Mockingbird and a group of American Crows.
