India, February 2013. I am camping in the dry-deciduous jungle in eastern Maharashtra, near the geographic heart of India. It is February and evenings are cold. We have rented army-style tents erected on concrete platforms surrounded with shallow but steep-walled ditches. “What are these ditches for,” I asked my friend Nitin Bhardwaj. “Against snakes,” he said.

The Gulf Stream lies between 20-40 miles off the North Carolina coast, and to the unpracticed eye it looks scarcely different that the expanse of blue water it courses through. But there’s something about this mass of moving water. And more specifically, there’s something about this part of this mass, where the Gulf Stream rubs up against the inshore colder Labrador Current at the part of the ocean where the depth drops off to more than a mile.

Ah, sweet summer, how I love you, despite your lack of migratory birds. Henry James understood how sweet this time of year can be in the Northern Hemisphere: “Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” Can you think of two more beautiful words? I’ll be birding around Western New York this weekend.

Picture this: you are on a lake, with dusk just beginning to fall. The surface of the water is calm, and a light breeze ruffles the thick leaves of mid-summer. Suddenly, a loud, lonely call reverberates across the water. A ghost? A banshee? Nope! Those eerie calls come from the Common Loon, the state bird of Minnesota. These black and white water birds are an annual summer presence on freshwater lakes throughout the northern United States and Canada, migrating to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans

In a nice moment of serendipity, my review copy of Offshore Sea Life ID Guide: West Coast by Steve N.G. Howell and Brian L. Sullivan, in collaboration with Todd McGrath and Tom Johnson, arrived at my door the day before I was leaving for southern California. ( Birds of California , the new volume in the ABA series, arrived the day I returned. Every bird book seems to be about the west coast this month!

Those of you that don’t avoid this site on Wednesdays to avoid my posts may have noticed that I didn’t post last week. This wasn’t because I forgot, or was drunk, or cause Corey begged me not to post for a week so that site visit figures wouldn’t plunge, but because I was moving. After six years of living in a wonderful house in Highbury, Wellington, it was time for me to move on.

All standard calendars include a 4th day of July, but we in the United States place just a bit more emphasis on recognizing that date. Ellen DeGeneres ?astutely identified one of the most important things about being an American – 3-day weekends. Hope you lived up your 4th of July weekend, no matter how many days it entailed. I explored a couple of amazing new areas this weekend and was rewarded with a luscious Least Bittern in flight along Sodus Bay.

Following on from last week we are venturing up the Fairfield-Leopold Road and it really is in pretty good condition for a gravel road, though it won’t last as more four-wheel drives bounce along to visit Windjana Gorge. It has been almost two years since we last visited Windjana Gorge and it is earlier in the season this year and as you can see by the photo above it is an impressive gorge.

Independence Day weekend saw the family and me visiting my folks in New York’s Hudson Valley, in Saugerties to be exact. And while the parade and the fireworks were the highlights of the day on the holiday, I took advantage of the late night on the 4th to head out and look for some birds on the morning of the 5th. One of my favorite stops when visiting Saugerties is the Great Vly , the county-spanning wetland that is great habitat for a variety of birds.
