Airport Birding

Posted on August 10, 2021 by Richard

Over the years, I’ve owned a number of small planes and spent a lot of time around airports. Our local airfield is a great place to find some birds and exercise the dog when not much is going on aviation-wise. This summer, Ginger and I have had some nice morning sessions. Here’s one:

Killdeers, always in motion, love the macadam surfaces.

While the state mows too much for grassland birds, Eastern Meadowlarks show up every year.

They even share space, here with a young Common Grackle.

Song Sparrows are great to hear and fun to see.

And here’s my birding buddy, returning down the taxiway without the tennis ball I threw. I think it’s still there in the tall grass.

Enjoy the rest of these summer days. Before long, we’ll be up there looking for Snowy Owls.
