This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Global Big Day
Day 204: You can celebrate Star Wars Day if that's your thing, or I might have been inclined to join you in observing World Naked Gardening Day if the weather hadn't turned both wet and cold, but what we're really excited about around here is that Global Big Day is only a week away! Yes, May 11th is circled on my calendar, and I have my checklist printed out. No, I won't be travelling to the far reaches. I'll just be standing at my window ticking off species at the feeders. I don't expect this year to break the record of 29 due to the fact that few of the migrants have arrived yet, but if I'm lucky, I might see twenty. When it comes right down to it, that's pretty respectable for a backyard bird-a-thon.
