Hey, it’s World Migratory Bird Day! And the songbirds are on the move, riding the southern winds to their summer breeding grounds, many in the northern boreal forests, but others will stick around right here in RI.
.
Food is the name of the game for these guys and insects, like caterpillars, are back on the menu! So plant oaks and other natives, leave the leaves and save the insects!
.
Thanks to @margarettljones for once again leading our walk this morning — look for another bid walk to check out our nesting birds sometime in June.

Spotted salamander eggs!! 🌳
The eggs with developing larvae in this video have a green tint because of symbiotic algae. The algae provides oxygen for the embryos which in turn provides carbon dioxide for the algae.
We’re going to keep checking on these babies so keep an eye out for updates! 👀
