That piece on phenology was neat. Did I misread, or is the insane heat good/bearable for hummingbirds and some pollinators? I get the lizards enjoying the heat, but I gotta admit I'm cheering more for the cuter, winged guys that help plants.
Just anecdotally, the hotter it is, the more butterflies and hummingbirds I see. They are still most active in the early morning and early evening when its cooler but still light out, but I'll see them throughout the day even when its around 100. I don't think this heat bothers them -- maybe the insane 120 degree heat in Phoenix does, but not Prescott temps. Irregularities in the seasonal patterns of temperatures, like early heat and late frosts, seem to be more of a danger to them.
Carley I really liked this article and I like your style of writing.It’s easy for me to read and remember what I read as I’m dislexic and don’t read much very often.I love birds and nature as you do so I fine you writings very interesting and informative.Keep up the good work and keep having fun doing it and be safe.
Can we get a link for that YouTube interview? How does one find out about things like that river trip? it sounds like an incredible experience!
