Although Henslow’s had been reliably found in nearby Sharon Springs for many years, the last documented sighting was in 2008, and the sighting startled longtime birders, waking them up to the fact that breeding sites in the state were rapidly being lost. In July 2011 a Henslow’s Sparrow was found in Ames, N.Y.,

Ducks, gulls and grebes love it there though; while they might be see in the surrounding area when there’s water, never pass up a chance to scan the pools there with your scope. Besides ducks, gulls and grebes, surprises that you’ll see there include Avocets , 11 of which were seen there last week.

It was therefore an absolute thrill when I heard the news that biologists from The Peregrine Fund, whilst surveying for endangered Madagascar Harriers in November 2006, had discovered a small population of these diving ducks at a very remote crater lake 330km north of Lake Aloatra! The lost paradise, Lake Bemanevika.

When I did this walk in early April of last year (to say nothing of November of 2008 ) I had some nice birds, and I was hoping that with a nearly cloudless sky I would be able to both see some nice birds and take advantage of the good morning light and get some worthwhile digiscoping done.

First issued in a limited printing in 1972, then re-issued by Ammo Press in 2008 after Harper’s death in June 2007, it contains images that are iconic and familiar, striking and unique. Graphic artist Todd Oldham writes in the 2008 preface that this font is called “kismet”. I can’t find any kismet-titled fonts that are swirley.

Black Vulture - Despite a marked increase in Turkey Vulture sightings – nine since March of 2011 when I had my first in Queens - Black Vultures remain stubbornly absent from the borough (only two sightings reported to eBird in Queens since 2008).

In 2008, I found an Ash-throated Flycatcher, then the state’s 12th or so record, in remote Jones County, NC. As an example, not long ago I found a pair of Long-tailed Ducks – a locally rare species – on a nearby reservoir. And so the period between the initial find and the refind can be an anxious time for a birder.

I’m not a fan of some of the cuts to science, but National came in in 2008. Indeed, sustainable hunting of ducks heps fund the NWR network, and helps protect places like the Farallon Islands, which are so vulnerable they can’t even sustain non-extractive visits from the best meaning of bird loving visitors.

In 2008, over nine billion chickens were slaughtered for Americans to eat. Lest people read this and think that I have gone completely off of the deep end please recall that Muscovy Duck , which in Florida is entirely an escaped domestic, is on the checklist there. You see, the chickens are being shortchanged. Americans love chicken.

Long-tailed Duck is one of my favorite birds that we see on the Christmas Bird Count. For thirty-five of those years the compiler was Bob Dieterich, who passed the reins to Ian Resnick in 2008, the year I did my first count. Participating in a Christmas Bird Count is tiring but essentially simple.

The term “Eastern Waterbirds” may include many different types of birds, from waders to shorebirds to ducks such as the stunning King Eider above to any of the many gulls and terns that migrate through Atlantic waters.

It confirms many of the once-radical notions put forward or refined by Shannon Hackett and her colleagues in 2008, and several since, and it proposes solutions to some of the most deeply unresolved questions about how major bird groups are related to each other.

The year 2008 saw me move back to Germany’s south-west, and my job required me to travel extensively throughout the country from then on. Why, then, aren’t we seeing vanishing numbers of our native ducks and grebes as soon as the geese move in? Of course I considered it to have been blown there from the Netherlands.
