Kingfisher Pushes for Spring Weather

By Glen Wunderlich

As a lifelong birder, it’s easy to be misunderstood in the outdoors, while in mixed company.  Immediately following a blank stare into surrounding nothingness in the middle of an otherwise sane conversation, it goes like this:  “Wait!  A red-bellied woodpecker!”  Response:  “Huh?  Where?  I don’t see anything.”
