First Phoebe of 2016

10,000 Birds

I saw my first migratory Eastern Phoebe of 2016 on 18 March at Kissena Park, thus kicking off spring for myself two days early. As I have for the last several years, I will now ask the same question of midwesterners and northeasterners that I ask every year: When did you see your first Eastern Phoebe of 2016? 2013 – 24 March.

My Birding Goals for 2017

10,000 Birds

Thank all that is good and holy in the world that the abomination that was 2016 is finally in the books. Here’s hoping that 2017 is a much better year than 2016! All of 2016 only netted me one new species for Queens, a Greater White-fronted Goose. I failed to do so in 2016 and that really sucks. Will I achieve them?

10,000 Birds

These changes are, of course, also reflected in the second edition of The Sibley Guide to Birds (though only up to the 54th supplement, 2013), but to dedicated users of the regional editions, there is going to be a learning curve in knowing where to open the book up to without using the index.

Clare M’s 2016 Year List

10,000 Birds

This all started way back in 2012 and several of us continued on in 2013 , 2014 and 2015. I have used “Christidis and Boles 2008 key to species names” until now, but due to the fact that it is not going to be updated into the future I will start to use the latest Birdlife Australia Rarites Committee list using IOC names.
