White-breasted Dipper has to be my number one bird for 2016 and it is quite simply a beautiful little bird that we had never observed in the UK! So, that is my top ten for 2016 and I hope that you all had some great times birding this past year. I would like to wish you all good health and good birding for 2017.

2017 – 12 March. 2016 – 18 March. As I have for years now, I will now ask the same question of midwesterners and northeasterners that I ask every year: When did you see your first Eastern Phoebe of 2020? And was it late or early? 2020 – 15 March. 2019 – 17 March. 2018 – 30 March. 2015 – 28 March. 2014 – 29 March. Enjoy spring!

Therefore, this year’s goal is simple: In 2017, I want to enjoy birds as much as possible. I was able to maintain the new structure in the 2014 list , and this was a mighty fine birding year in all aspects. However, I started to fail in the following year, and my blog post on 2015 is still – to this day – incomplete.

I discovered that it had been ringed on 26 September 2016 at Iken, on the River Alde on the Suffolk coast, so almost exactly four years before my sighting. After being ringed my godwit (EY70 137) wasn’t seen again until 1 July 2017, when it was reported from Aldeburgh Town Marshes, not far from where it was first ringed.

In the last ten years I have seen my first phoebe of the year on dates ranging from a 12 March (2017) to a relatively late 31 March (2010). 2017 – 12 March. 2016 – 18 March. And was it late or early? Though it took me until today to see my first migratory phoebe I did see one in Queens in January at Mt. 2019 – 17 March.

A series of devastating hurricanes in 2016, 2017 and 2019 may have sounded its death knell. That’s the year that Professor Hayes and three colleagues postulated that the nuthatch on Grand Bahama and its American cousin were two distinct species because of their physical characteristics and distinctive vocalizations.

Our best observations of Jack Snipe were in dull weather at the Canal Scrape Hide at Spurn Bird Observatory on October 7th 2016. The weather may have had something to do with that!

In 2016, the Shanghai Wildlife Protection Management Station started the search for one, though progress has been slow. In any case, both birds seem to be better choices than the Oriental Magpie, which received the largest number of votes in a public survey in 2017. I would like to introduce two candidates, a bulbul and a parrotbill.
