2008 Ducks Experiments Species 
10,000 Birds
NOVEMBER 8, 2011
Paging through a fieldguide, it’s always with a sense of dismay and sadness that I come across reference to an extinct species. Islands, for various reasons, experience more extinctions than continents (with Africa being the only continent not suffering a bird extinction!). This bird was kept in captivity until it died a year later.

In my vast experience in the terrifying outland that is the world of the non-birder, the biggest question I get concerns the inherent trustworthiness of the avocation. In 2008, I found an Ash-throated Flycatcher, then the state’s 12th or so record, in remote Jones County, NC. What happens if you get caught.

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.

The Little Egret walks in front of her, a dozen Lesser Whistling Ducks flies noisily low above water and through a flooded grass wades one Black-winged Stilt. She has grown up in the reserve and has no experience of the environment of which tourists would not be a permanent, however boring part of. Telia, copyright © Nitin Bhardwaj.

Over 3,200 photographs have been used, most showing species in their habitats. There is also text, distribution maps, a dark red bar “warning” about similar looking rare species, and conservation symbols. So, how do you find the species account for Kestrel if falcons are not placed between woodpeckers and parakeet?

Long-tailed Duck is one of my favorite birds that we see on the Christmas Bird Count. Many years of experience have been lost. 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. Hopefully, we will find a way to get access.

Written in the tradition of the classic Hawks in Flight , but very much a product of the experiences of its birder authors, this is a groundbreaking book that offers a new way of identifying migratory birds at sea to all of us who observe the waters of eastern North America with expectation and excitement. No rails or gallinules.
