Habitat is very important to Hashimoto’s art, they are part of her observational and creative experience, and I think it’s this attention to appropriate waters, plants, climate, and time of day that make her bird portraits special.

Considering my own limited skills and experience, and the reported species that I missed, I think 360 or even 370 is possible by a more skilled and determined (and possibly insane) birder.

Non-bird watchers without binoculars and experience are notoriously bad sources of information. The new offspring of that year hang back and leave later, finding their way to their wintering grounds using something other than experience, and something other than being taught by their parents. More alarm calling. Apparently.

Once you manage to spell it correctly – which may take some time if my own Google experiences are any indication – you will find plenty of information online about the birds and the birding within this amazing park.

Mike managed to maintain his slim ABA lead by spotting the one Barnacle Goose amidst hundreds of Canada Geese in Van Cortland Park in the Bronx. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. How about you? What was your best bird of the weekend?

The answers are: (1) the definition is what the authors have decided based on their experience and knowledge of taxonomy, and (2) the terms ‘oceanic birds’ and ‘seabirds’ are interchangeable (so, I will use both in this review).
