For all that, though, migration here is still largely a water-based show, with the most spectacular signs of springs coming in the forms of ducks, geese, and swans. Several locations in the state, most notably Freezeout Lake, are graced with epic spring migrations of Snow Geese and Tundra Swans as they return north along the Pacific Flyway.

Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge, 15 March 2009 It was at about 1:30 AM on Saturday morning that I startled awake and found myself sitting in an empty subway car in an unfamiliar location. Tree Swallows squabbled and hunted in the air overhead and spent time examining the numerous nest boxes erected for them.

If it is an emergency and since I get calls and texts from all over the country (even a few out of the country), I direct people to Rehabber Search or Wildlife Rehabber. Use the wildlife rahbber links at the top of this page to find a licensed pro near you. The first few years for female ducks and geese are kind of practice rounds.

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) attempts to calculate the economic contribution of National Wildlife Refuge visitation to local communities. Rather, birding and other wildlife observation ( e.g., photography) are lumped together as “non-consumptive” uses of a refuge. Every few years, the U.S. billion for local communities.

A few weeks ago I led a field trip to Butte Valley Wildlife Area. It was a destination I had never experienced so I made a few phone calls and got some information from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife agent who actually runs both the Butte Valley and the Shasta Valley Wildlife Areas, which are about 25 miles apart.

Long-eared Owl – This is another owl species that was, like most winters, not seen in Queens (though tantalizing second-hand reports of one at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge during the Brooklyn CBC reached me). Short-eared Owl – Finally, a bird that I saw! Now that was a good day! Turkey Vulture – Wow!

What this land-locked country lacks in endemic birds it more than makes up for in accessibility of tough species, numbers of birds and the overall wildlife experience. Specials include birds like African Pygmy Geese, Racket-tailed Roller and Western Banded Snake-eagle. We are currently filming in Botswana.

Scaup are so worthless that when you input “I love scaup” into Google you only get four results and three of them are hunting related. At least Barnacle Geese are named for an arthropod. And even if such a bird existed and were endangered no one would want to see it. First, it’s not terribly difficult.
