He noted that this new bird had longer bills and “darker loral and auricular regions” than the mainland Brown-headed Nuthatch, and collected two of them for science.

I've touched on relevant issues off and on, but most specifically in a 2004 piece on arguments for and against whale hunts.

DECEMBER 28, 2015

2015 was challenging, at best, on a personal level but it was a fantastic year for birds in New York City. Good work, New York, good work. At least she contributed to science… My Best Bird of the Year was a Snowy Plover , which I first spotted along the Florida Panhandle.
