2018 – 30 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 2021? And was it late or early? 2021 – 13 March. 2020 – 15 March. 2019 – 17 March. 2017 – 12 March. 2015 – 28 March.

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. Once again the bird disappeared, or at least wasn’t reported, until it was noted at Titchwell RSPB Reserve on the North Norfolk coast on 10 July 2018.

Conservation efforts have been sufficiently successful for the bird’s status to be downlisted, in 2018, from Critically Endangered to Endangered. In 2018, there were 1,745 birds living in 92 different zoos and collections. I haven’t managed to discover the latest population figures for Morocco, but it must be close to 1,000 birds.

These hurricanes prompted a personal interest in the impact of hurricanes on birds, so I did some research, which ultimately led to an article in the April 2018 issue of Birding magazine. There have been two counts since Maria: on December 17, 2017, and December 16, 2018. The 2018 CBC tallied 2,492 birds of 87 species.

The last successful breeding year was in 2016 when the eggs were laid a little earlier than the usual July 1st and one chick did survive to join other Pied Oystercatchers in a non-breeding flock for a few years. He last raised a chick successfully in 2016 and has nested in this area since 2008.

We had observed Common Redshank in Broome in 2015 and 2016 and we know you can often observe them close to the Common Greenshanks in Roebuck Bay. The post Common Redshank added to the year list appeared first on 10,000 Birds.
