Osborn, a passionate field biologist who participates to the core of her being three re-introduction projects aimed at saving three very different, endangered species: Peregrine Falcon, Hawaiian Crow (‘Alala)*, and California Condor. She never finds her long days observing her falcons, crows, and condors boring.

Here’s a prediction: Parrots , falcons , and seriemas are on their way to new positions in your checklists and, eventually, field guides. However, evidence has mounted in recent years that falcons are not closely related to other diurnal raptors and seriemas don’t belong anywhere near gruiform birds. I like this one too.)

Science proving the obvious again, part 78 : Eurasian Spoonbills preferred departing from one of their stopover sites when tailwind conditions were good. One study found that they had higher foraging success rates in areas with a water depth of 28.1-36.6 cm compared to other areas and preferred to forage in these areas.

Two weeks later, it was a young math and science teacher from Oregon named Brent who asked me to take him with me. I told him that occasionally, with luck, I might hear a Laughing Falcon there. Not for Steve; he seemed completely satisfied. But I knew that quite a few charismatic species had failed to turn up. Seeing one?
