Through the Window: May 2026
May is such a bursting month! Birds, birds, buds, buds. We’ve held our regular monthly monitoring walk, and our weekly Early Birder Morning walks, and of course been amazed but what we see and hear. Next year, we might hold the first two Early Birder walks at 7:30 or 8 am (it can be a little slow and chilly at 7); let us know what you think about that!
