First Phoebe of 2018

10,000 Birds

MARCH 30, 2018

I saw my first migratory Eastern Phoebe of 2018 this afternoon at Forest Park, thus kicking off spring for myself over a week after spring actually started. As I have for the last several years, I will now ask the same question of midwesterners and northeasterners that I ask every year: When did you see your first Eastern Phoebe of 2018?

Cypriot Delights: Part I

10,000 Birds

APRIL 26, 2024

This is a recent split, for when I last visited Cyprus in 2018 the two were considered conspecific. First recorded breeding on the island in 2013, this dove is now both widespread and common. According to the taxonomists, these weren’t regular Scops Owls ( Otus scops ) but the endemic Cyprus Scops Owl ( Otus cyprius ).

Once again the bird disappeared, or at least wasn’t reported, until it was noted at Titchwell RSPB Reserve on the North Norfolk coast on 10 July 2018. A quick search on the Internet revealed that it had been tagged at Benington in North Hertfordshire in August 2018.

Additionally, my country has been declared "rabies-free" by some sources and the last time a case of rabies was found in a domestic animal was in 2013 (2018 for a wild animal which was on the opposite side of the country).

By 2013, I was the #1 eBirder there — out of a total fo 24! The year was 2013, and I was just rediscovering a passion for birds after a 30-year hiatus. But my home is not in the U.S. or the U.K.; it is in Michoacán , in the southwest of Mexico. At least, that is what I thought!)

Talking of gulls, I had a new meeting with an old acquaintance, the Black-headed Gull ringed in 2013 in the north of the country that I already met twice in 2015 and now again – I even recognized its ring because the combination of letters sounds a bit like “Yahoo”.
