Feathers are the Focus in Sonoma

Feathers are the Focus in Sonoma

The annual Sonoma Bird Count is scheduled for Thursday December 30th and the weather is looking better than many thought it might.  Rainy days have been the norm lately in these parts but our weather forecast shows the chance of rain for the count is now about 30%.    The day's activities are spelled out at SonomaBirding.org.  I've volunteered for the count in previous years but can't this time because I have a family commitment.  It's a terrific opportunity to learn about the many species of birds we have here in Sonoma Valley.  The last time I participated it was pouring rain...but even soaking wet I enjoyed the hours spent focused on our fine feathered friends.  They so out-number us and yet we rarely notice their presence.   I hope a lot of people turn out this year---it's a very special event.
