The weather was mild again last month and there’s a lot of activity with growing, flying and crawling things.  We even heard a frog or two plop in the pond this weekend.  Below is a record of who we saw in February in the neighborhood including Sandhill Cranes migrating high over Buckhead.

The following birds were seen at Murphy Chandler park during a bird rescue operation, which we’ll tell you more about in out next post.  Notice the goose that’s different from the Canada Geese.  It’s the blue morph of a Snow Goose.  Thanks Bruce for identifying it for us.
