“Hey I heard a meadowlark!” says a birder.
“Seems a bit early to me but I just heard an Eastern Wood-Pewee,” replies her birder friend.
“But it just snowed yesterday. What’s going on?”
APRIL FOOLS!!
With the wild winter we had in northern Illinois, it is only fitting that the European Starlings have been practicing their imitations of other birds and fooling us greatly. Starlings are not as known for their mimicry but have been observed copying many species of birds as well as human made sounds including car alarms and crying babies.
They may be pests, but today’s the day to “celebrate” the European Starling.
To promote bird conservation through conservation marketing. By showing people the joys of birding, we hope to bring people and nature together, instead of at odds.
