I certainly can’t wait for 21 January 2015! Who knows what great birds 2015 will bring? Florida is a great place to bird in January because in addition to the year-round species there are a host of birds that winter in the relatively balmy climate that Florida has in winter. Get my Florida list to 180 species.

With migration about to kick into gear all over the world, birders might want to think about what species to keep eyes out for week by week. Check out the 14-21 August 2015 Regional Migration Forecast. Curious about the first Birdcast of the season? I’m still too focused on summer to worry about the birds of fall.

My lobbying must be more effective than I thought because the Green Heron has been named as the American Birding Association Bird of the Year for 2015 ! More than ready for its close up, this Green Heron is very pleased to be the 2015 ABA Bird of the Year! I certainly can’t think of a better pick. What other bird can compare?

We had not been to Geelong since April 2015 and once again Grant was at work and I got to explore the bird-life around the city.

Despite the misses, with a 2015 year list of 652, I won’t complain!

Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a species that he only gets to see in winter and usually has to work for, sorting through flocks of Horned Larks. Between work and shoveling, I had no chance to get out birding. Fortunately, House Finches came to me, brightening up the feeder with their raspberry resplendence.

I was well satisfied to travel through farm country this weekend and count the many American Kestrels perched predatorily above the fields. How about you?

The White-eared Barbet is another bird species with an annoyingly sensible Latin species name, leucotis (white-eared). Obviously, my job as a blog post writer would be a lot easier if there was a racist slave-trader named Ernesto Leucotis who somehow got a bird species named after him. But the same species was never found again.

Corey had quite a few species to choose from this weekend but decided that his Best Bird of the Weekend was the simple Tree Swallow. The refuge is the most reliable place I know in the Empire State to spot Sandhill Cranes , so I always keep an eye open. This time, we spotted two shaggy cranes flying across the wetlands.
