And it had been awhile: my last visit there was in 2014!) This game of hide-and-seek played out for awhile until the elusive bird dove and didn’t come up anywhere I could find it. I quickly mounted my camera to my scope, swung it around, and managed to get an image of empty water as the Razorbill had dove.

In 2014, the National Park Service banned drone use in all 58 national parks in order to protect wildlife and precious ecological landmarks. Even drone retailers and manufacturers are getting in on the game. As for bird watchers who want to get into the drone game, the best advice is to take a cue from researchers who use drones.

Sam Adams has been brewing Cold Snap as a late winter seasonal since 2014, but a packaging redesign of this year’s version places a ski-masked owl on the label.

New Year’s Day 2014. Once Feral Pigeons lived all over Europe, their export to former European colonies started, mostly as game birds (pigeon shooting was particularly popular in late 19th and early 20th century). With binoculars around my neck, I am leaving home, wondering which will be the first species on my year list.

Since I saw my first in February of 2014 at Breezy Point I have had two more encounters, both in February of 2015, both at Jacob Riis Park.

On July 8, 2014, the Colombian government declared this area as the Ramsar site Estrella Fluvial de Inírida – the River Star of Inírida. I couldn’t help thinking: this is the way to grow up, not playing games in front of the computer screen. – The River Star is the sixth Ramsar site in Colombia and the first in the Amazon.

Way back in 2014, when I saw my first Chestnut-sided Shrike-Vireo near the little town of Pino Real, and shared the sighting on a birders’ chat group, it took just over a month for the first biologist/ornithologist to visit me. Let the games begin! It seems he had looked long and wide for this species.
