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?

In September of 2013 there was an Eastern Kingbird ( Tyrannus tyrannus ) seen in Redding, California, less than 30 miles from my home. The next rare bird that I was able to chase came a couple of years later in January 2016. This was a no-brainer. I found it within 30 minutes.

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.

Therefore, I greatly expanded the structure of my year list in 2013 to include maps, statistics and a diary. Now, I really like the 2013 layout and am planning on keeping it, but I’ll make the diary shorter this year and will keep the list in chronologic order instead of systematic. This was fun. And a lot of work.

Nevertheless, only the most important news I did follow, those about the decision-making process on future sales of elephants and their ivory at a global wildlife summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, the first such meeting since 2013. Turn your eyes to the European Union which could have stopped it in 2016, but chose not to.

Jason’s first contribution to 10,000 Birds tackled the importance of the National Wildlife Refuge System. How many birders are there in America? As it turns out, there are very few estimates.

If the beginning birders in your life live in other states, you can always give them IOUs for guides to be published in 2016. Though, keep in mind that the regional East and West editions are promised for March 2016.). This is also a good time to catch up on supplementary titles, such as guides to bird families.

The three authors have brought diverse talents to this project, which, they tell us, started in 2013. The book itself is nicely sized, a little too big for all but the largest pocket but perfect for a daypack. It’s a book perfectly made for breeding bird surveying. Interestingly, two of them work in the field of professional tracking.
