The trick is to make sure your path crosses those of the right birds at the right time. This is an interesting time of year when people are coming and going while birds mostly sit still. Except, of course, that some birds are also coming and going too.

While I was on a call with Corey, what should fly into the tree right outside my window but a Yellow-throated Warbler ? This species is quite rare during migration in my area and this bird was, in one sense, way too early but, for my purposes, right on time. The Best Bird of my weekend was a real find.

They sat right out in the open and allowed for extended digiscoping opportunities. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was either of the two amazingly cooperative Eastern Bluebirds he came across on Saturday morning in Kissena Corridor Park in Queens. How about you? What was your best bird of the weekend?

Assuming that your over-worked eyes are as blurry as mine at the moment, we should get right down to business and talk birds… The best of the many warblers I uncovered at Cobbs Hill this weekend was an entirely improbable Kentucky Warbler. What a weekend for those of us experiencing the exhilaration of spring migration!

Maybe author Sy Montgomery is right when she says that “birdwatchers often look down on falconry,” and maybe not. Harris’s are also, according to Cowan, smarter than other hawks; they hunt in packs and, for that reason, may welcome humans as hunting partners more so than other raptors.

In my imagination, the job of a male Australian Brush Turkey is pretty similar – removing or adding bits and pieces to his pile of rotting vegetation in order to get the right temperature to incubate the eggs buried underneath to hatch. It breeds in tree holes, presumably explaining the more commonly used name for it.

In 2010, Common Ravens nested in Queens.

A good example of a bird that came and then left unobserved was the Eurasian Hoopoe in 2014. The Garganey continued to inhabit the area right through to the end of 2018. The first record of the Eurasian Hoopoe in Australia was well documented in 2011. We moved forward slowly and the Garganey continued to feed in the fading light.
