Spotted several Yellow-rumped Warblers right outside my apartment! Took these photos through my home office window! According to CLO, Yellow-rumped Warblers don’t breed in MS, but I put out a few clumps of raw wool just in case. If they don’t use it, other birds will! 🪺

Getting slightly better at feather ID. I believe this is a redtailed hawk feather! Perhaps a juvenile? A secondary or tail feather? 🪶

If you are willing to participate, I am including a link to a Google Form to spotlight a scientist or two a week. It will be a quick, name, what do you study, advice for a middle schooler and asking for a pic so they can see. Totally volunteer. https://forms.gle/ka3GTEVihzpsKJpp7
