A new book about the angelic-looking, identification-stumping birds of the oceans, rivers, and marshes has finally been published! That would be Terns of Europe and North America by Klaus Malling Olsen and Hans Larsson, published in 1995, another fantastic book, but out-of-print and in need of an update. Tern lovers rejoice!

So there you go, Europe! The months of January and February 2013 were particularly dark and gloomy. March 2013 was the coldest March in more than 100 years. April 2013 was extremely dry and also unusually cold. May 2013 was the wettest May on record, like… ever, with extreme flood events that even killed people.

Few things can spell out “winter birding” as poetically as the sighting of a rare northern owl that has more or less unexpectedly found its way to southern, more balmy environs. First, most of Europe’s owl species are breeding in Germany anyway and are better found at other times of the year.

And indeed, a slender grey bird with black tail and head, red eyes and legs, comes to within a few meters of us to check us out. Still, the bird isn’t too cooperative, glides low over the ridge and disappears behind it. A pair of these eagles breed nearby, but this bird shows no wish to reappear and show itself better.

Are these very early migrants or possibly breeding birds of a wider area? Birds in their second calendar year often do not breed yet and spend time further south from their breeding areas, so this is most likely their year off.
