'Two years ago, I was counting active nests of Rooks in the flat agricultural landscape north of Belgrade, Serbia. We drove for about 290 km through the 400 square kilometres expanse of Pancevacki Rit and found 8 breeding colonies with 252 occupied nests, or a density of 1.6 nests per 1 km2. Without an exception, rookeries were within suburbs, villages or large farms (in such cases – next to buildings), away from the riverine forests bordering the area, tree lines or smaller groves in the open.

'Climate Change. The vast majority of you reading this accept it is happening, and for the time being it is caused by humans. The few remaining climate scientists that deny this are one-by-one changing their minds or will eventually be exposed as complete frauds , due to who is funding their “research” People care about climate change because it threatens coastal areas, fisheries, and food and water supplies, which is why Secretary of State John Kerry stated (correctly, I think) i

'You might not sense it yet, but excitement is in the air. Somewhere deep in the tropics, a warm, fat, contented bird is beginning to feel the merest inkling of restlessness. Even in the midst of paradise, this itinerant soul cannot remain happy for long. “Is this all there is?” the bird will ask. And in time, just a matter of weeks really, this vagabond and countless more like it will realize that abundance and adventure lie north, towards the poles.

'Forced inside due to various work obligations and a heckuva lot of snow (and the attending unplanned childcare responsibilities that said snow results in around here), my actual birding has been lean these couple weeks. The Piedmont eBird challenge goes on, and I’ve snuck out here and there to add a few birds to my team’s list, leaving us still neck and neck and neck with the other regions two months in, but there’s not a lot to report about that.

'If you’ve given up hope of ever seeing a Zapata Rail , this post is for you. And if (like me) you’ve never heard of the Zapata Rail before, this post is for you too. In either case, your chance to learn more about this super-secretive bird may be in the offing, as scientists recently discovered a Zapata Rail nest after more than 40 years with no sightings.

'Now that we’ve gotten February out of the way, the time has come to face facts: the next mass migration is not that far off. Is it too soon to start reviewing warbler songs? My best bird sighting this weekend was a Red-tailed Hawk , significant not just because these common raptors always command respect but because of what this particular bird had in its mouth: nesting material!

'Well, another week has gone by here in Melbourne and I am managing to walk to a variety of locations from the city centre quite easily and the weather has been kind to us so far. The temperatures really vary day by day, but even more than that with this city’s reputation of “four seasons in one day”! I don’t let that slow me down, but set off for a day of walking prepared for any changes that may occur.

'Picidae, Woodpecker, is one of those charismatic bird families that everybody gets excited about. (Unless the woodpecker is drumming a hole into your garage, and then, well, it’s a different kind of excitement.) So, it is strange that while books have been written about owls and hawks, and the semi-charismatic seabirds and shorebirds, there have been few books written about woodpeckers.
