I&#8217;ve chased feisty Red-capped Manakins in Belize, the critically endangered Honduran Emerald in Honduras, Aplomado Falcons in coastal Texas, Chestnut-collared Longspurs in Rocky Mountain National Park, and traversed miles of natural near-shore [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our local park here in Rochester, NY (Mendon Ponds Park) has a songbird trail where chickadees, titmice, and even nuthatches gather to eat from the hands of chubby-palmed children and wistful adults.

We visited Saturday in order to get the family outdoors on the first sunny day we'd had in a long time.  Why stop at the hand? thought my husband, and offered his balding pate as a serving platter of black oil sunflower seeds.]]></description>

Getting out there with nature.&#8221; It was a kind, thoughtful comment. But I thought, how funny. Getting &#8220;out there&#8221; with nature.
