It is a happy time, this early morning twilight, and best of all, the birds are singing. I arrive at Belwin Conservancy’s Stagecoach Prairie and quietly exit my car. This is the time of migration for most songbirds and a wonderful opportunity to chronicle which species use Belwin lands as a stopover site or nesting habitat.

In this issue of our biannual newsletter:
• A new nesting site for our beloved American kestrels!
• Belwin’s Role in the Watershed
• What Does Belwin Mean to You?
• Spring and Summer Event Calendar
• Local Connections: An Interview with Roger Green

There is certainty in the passing of the seasons. We know that winter cold will give way to spring sun, spring sun to summer warmth, summer warmth to the cool air of autumn, the cool air of autumn to the winter cold again.

It’s an exciting thing to hear a gobble in the distance in the spring. It is yet another signal that the seasons are changing and new life across the wildlife spectrum is soon to come.
