10,000 Birds

Gulls of the World: A Photographic Field Guide is a successor, or companion, as the author terms it, to Klaus Malling Olsen’s classic guide, Gulls of Europe, Asia and North America (Helm, 2004*). And, of course, the 2004 volume does not include all the gulls of the world. Photographs.

For those of us in North America other than the Gulf coast, the only time we might see a Magnificent Frigatebird is after a storm. More commonly seen in care in Central America, over the last 16 years I’ve had the privilege of providing a frigatebird’s care only twice. In a quick review, you learn frigatebirds eat fish.

In about a week after the last count, no kite will be seen at or near the roost (Meyer 2004). Of all migratory birds breeding in North America, Swallow-tailed Kites are among the first to leave for the wintering grounds. Final report for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. This is not the case.
