Richard totaled 352 species, an impressive number, by seeing almost all of the regularly occurring New York birds and the vast majority of the rarities that showed up in 2011. I also know that birds are in decline, with many seriously threatened species, lending some urgency to my desire to see them before they disappear.

NARITA, JAPAN, DECEMBER 2012 – The art and science of layover birding deserves more rigorous study and perhaps a federal grant.

birds that we are lucky to have with us today, species that seem to have beat the odds and have been migrating on the long and bumpy road to recovery.

Shanghaibirding reports that the species was seen in Shanghai in 2012, so it is not the first time but still a rare event for Shanghai birders.

We also did some inland birding to the Pilbara in November, but I will return to some news on the shorebirds along our coast for this week. This is mainly due to the fact that we found a rather special bird recently on Cable Beach in Broome. There are people out there that do manage it and information can be gained from the reading!
