A wonderful post, Susan. I appreciated the nudge to read Heather Cox Richardson’s book- she’s such a remarkable voice. Downloaded it.

Thank you! And yes, Heather's a voice of reason in a time of misinformation.

Thank you for this! An interesting website my Mom sent a couple weeks ago tells the number of migrating birds that have flown over your area in the night. It is amazing! Here it is: https://dashboard.birdcast.info

Just enter your county name and you will see the numbers as well as direction, probably species, speed and height they fly at. Birds are incredible, and the distances they migrate are astonishing.

oh! - thank you for the link! Where I live seems out of range for the geese migrations I experienced on the west side of the Cascades so this will help me learn more about their migration.

I hope it helps! One of the first things I do each day is check to see how many and what sorts of birds have flown over in the night.
