Its early morning in the Bronx and the car alarms are singing below in a chorus accompanied by sirens from the nearby hospital and percussion from the construction work. Its 8:30 am, which is early for me.
I am getting ready to leave for Wisconsin. Its my dad’s birthday this month, and we are going birdwatching in northern Wisconsin in the hopes of finding the ever-elusive Boreal Chickadee. The range of the Boreal Chickadee is restricted to the boreal (northern) coniferous forests. I have just realized that both northern Wisconsin and the Adirondacks in New York constitute the southern-most parts of its range. So if I don’t see them on this trip, I can look for them when i get home!
