I see you, Melrose. I attending nursing clinicals at Melrose-Wakefield during school.
Great capture! These guys are such beautiful birds
I hope you are enjoying your time at the hospital! I’ve spent some time there… :)
Sadly I ended up not working there full time because the commute would have been too long. But one of my contract positions takes me there for a day every now and then, and I get to see some of my old classmates. It’s a good hospital.
And if you haven’t seen it, check out the Merlin bird ID app from Cornell:

I have quite the collection of birds I’ve found in my little corner of the GBA. The automatic bird song ID function is so incredible
A few years ago I was running on a trail through a marshland in a suburb of Edmonton Alberta and one of these attacked my head. I was not injured but it was annoying.
