Summer Bird Hike with Aaron Steed
-
Most of think August is a month in which to stay indoors, but in the bird world, August is a month when many of our local birds decide to begin their southbound journey. Most of our Barn Swallows and Purple Martins are already gone, but, despite the summer heat, birds are slowly moving through our area.
