ABA Field Guides to Birds of Colorado and Florida

10,000 Birds

This latest addition to the ABA State Field Guide series is sorely needed in places like Wakodahatchee. During the last visit in 2011, I was fortunate to see all three Rosy-Finch species at Red Rocks Park. Disclosure time: I bird Florida, mostly the southeast area, several times a year. Thank you, little sister.

The Nonessential Whooping Crane

10,000 Birds

Over the winter, the universe lost four whooping cranes to what appears to be recreational shooting: three gunned down together in Georgia on December 30, 2010, and another in Alabama on January 28, 2011. Another 170 are in captivity, many of them breeding stock for reintroduction efforts. Bill Webb Mar 20th, 2011 at 6:54 pm Done!
