Eyes to the sky
The distant call of a red-shouldered hawk pierced the crisp morning air Saturday at the Beanblossom Bottoms Nature Preserve. Hearing the screech, Nancy Martin clutched her binoculars to her face, scanning the barren tree line before finally spotting the elusive raptor darting from tree to tree. Martin, a local middle school teacher, and several members of Bloomington’s sizeable bird-watching community braved the cold Saturday, counting and identifying birds as part of the Great Backyard Bird Count, an annual event during which thousands across the U.S. and Canada gather data about their local bird populations.
