In my desperate hopes of seeing more birds, I’ve started taking my lunch breaks! Previously I didn’t really bother with them because I’m typically too busy to step away. So today I’m walking around outside, Merlin open, trying to spot a Least Flycatcher that has been calling for the past fifteen minutes! This process would be easier if I had binoculars, but I’m starting to get the right area down… when suddenly a coworker comes bounding outside! Never mind that I’m clearly in the middle of something, that simply can’t be important to me. I’m pulled back inside, what she needs cannot wait, it can’t wait for the remaining fifteen minutes of my break to be over.
I made no new observations today, every bird that I was able to spot was one that’s already in my life list. I hope that the Least Flycatcher will be back on Monday, provided I can get a break then to go out and find them.
