'Featured photo: Alfredo Fernandez. The Hornby’s storm-petrel ( Oceanodroma Hornbyi ) is a fairly common bird along the coast of Peru and Chile. Most, if not all pelagic birding trips in the region record this species, often by the hundreds. But as common as they may be, nobody knows where they nest. The Hornby’s (or ringed) storm-petrel occurs along a relatively narrow band on the Pacific Ocean.

'There is a hidden cove in Anderson River Park in Northern California where birders know they can almost always find Wood Ducks (Axi sponsa). Since I hadn’t been to Anderson River Park for awhile, I stopped by last week and found some Wood Ducks at the usual spot. Click on photos for full sized images. There were five Wood Ducks in the cove this early April morning, four males and one female.

'You’ve probably heard of many different kinds of bird cams—web feeds that spy on the inner lives of birds. There are hawk cams , falcon cams , puffin cams , tern cams , heron cams , and even Osprey cams. Now you can add another one to the list: the Ravencam, in the unlikeliest of places—the campus of Wellesley College , just outside of Boston, Massachusetts.

'While spring is widely revered as the season of rebirth, many of us celebrate birth during this time as well. My son’s birthday ushering in spring and my daughter’s showing it out serve as bookends to a seemingly endless parade of parties. April bears the most fruit for my family tree, including my own bad apple birthday this week. Does your family celebrate a lot of April birthdays?

'I have followed the breeding activity of the Pied Oystercatchers in Broome along Cable Beach since July 2000 when I found the first nest site and the birds have continued to use the same territories, though there have been some partner changes. The breeding season in the north of Australia starts from about July 1st and there are often several attempts if the eggs fail, are lost or the chicks don’t survive.

'We were four intrepid birders heading out of New York City to the wilds of New Jersey for birds, birds and more birds. Mary Normandia was the driver, expertly weaving her way across the Belt Parkway, Staten Island, and the Garden State Parkway. Rich Kelly, Seth Ausubel, and I were merely along for the ride, convinced by Mary’s enthusiasm that we would surely find something good at “the hook.” Sandy Hook, our destination, is park of Gateway National Recreation Area like many of

'My friend Ruth, who is from Northern England, has a phrase she uses when her dog bursts into fits of irrational exuberance. “Look at him,” she says, as he races madly around the yard. “He’s gone crackerdog.”. Andrew Revkin recently described in his Dot Earth blog how he watched, amazed, as a white pigeon raced the traffic on the Palisades Parkway, heading north from New York City.

'Tambunan was the bookend to my trip to Borneo, it was the first destination I birded and the last. As must see birding destinations go, its hardly the most user friendly location that you can go birding. You basically drive up to a stretch of forest in the mountains above Kota Kinabalu (principal city of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo), and walk up and down a road with often very little verge and a constant stream of lorries, cars, motorbikes and pickups.

'As I mentioned before, Freezeout means Snow Geese , and lots of them. But like any aspect of migration, the lots-of-Snow-Geese phenomenon is ephemeral and to some degree unpredictable, occuring earlier one year, later the next, and then gone as the geese head north to make more geese or south to wait out the winter. Depending on the wind and weather the disappearance can be sudden or gradual, a once-a-season event or a repeater.
