There’s been a burst of activity on the mountain the last couple of days. On Feb 24th the first chaffinch sang outside, and today we have bees hungrily buzzing around our heads. It’s amazing what a little sunshine can do. Anyhow, A Remarkably Rich Avifauna is the new name and location of my previous bird blog, Avian Surroundings. The content will be mostly the same, with one addition. My bird housing project. Where I live in the Austrian Alps the interest in birds is somewhat unenthused and there isn’t a lot of housing available. I am going to build one bird house to start with, and install it in an easily observed tree here in the village. I’m sure it will please both birds and the people waiting for the bus under the tree. And we will see what comes out of it. Maybe I can recruit a few new young bird lovers.
