Through the Window: May 2026

Rose-breasted Grosbeak male: a chunky songbird with a black head, a pinkish-read "bib-and-tie" and a white chest and belly. Her his perched on a branch facing the viewer, although his head is turned to his right. Other thin branches are visible, and a bright blue sky is behind him.
A Veery stands adjacent to a nest with pale blue eggs. The life-like woodcarving is a small mostly brown bird carved and painted by Bob Spear, as are the eggs. The nest is real. The green fern behind the bird is made of painted metal, but also looks real.

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!

Early summer mornings are terrific for birding. Join us for a walk led by experienced birders in the museum’s forests and meadow.

Bring binoculars and good walking shoes. Early mornings are often damp with dew and boots are definitely in order. Don’t forget bug spray/tick repellent!
