10,000 Birds

MARCH 16, 2014

Patrick’s Day by doing more than donning green didn’t “celebrate” so much this weekend that you’re suffering today. When I saw a Turkey Vulture soaring serenely over the frozen tundra of Rochester last month, I took the sighting as an example of how confused, in a potentially fatal way, some birds can get.

After all, I’m sure North America has suffered under the tyrannical grip of a polar vortex before, even though the term seems new to me, just as we survived last year’s Snowpocalypse and Sharknado. Considering how painfully cold my part of the world is, I’m watching birds from my window this weekend. How about you?

It actually makes a lot of sense, the geographic features of the isthmus between North America (including Mexico, because Mexico is part of North America) and South America cut across political lines, as do birds. It is the first bird field guide to every country of Central America (plus the islands governed by those countries).
