The Plain Sunbird is the plain vanilla version of the otherwise often very colorful family (ok, a very low-budget sort of joke). Market prices have tracked demand: in 1987 birds retailed for $ 14, rising to $ 44 in 2014 and $ 99 in 2016.” It deserves a lot better than being caught and locked in a cage.

Having added the new additions to my 2016 year list I noted we had not yet seen a member of the Fantail or Robin family as yet. Our first encounter of a Northern Fantail for 2016! We have seen a Common Sandpiper there in the past using the bollards as a fishing post, but this time there were two of them.

Jake lives in southeast Florida and loves fishing and Blue Jays (the bird, not the team). If the beginning birders in your life live in other states, you can always give them IOUs for guides to be published in 2016. Though, keep in mind that the regional East and West editions are promised for March 2016.).

And so, here it is, the last story that I will be posting for 2016. We have a Green Heron here in the marina, that has become quite adept at fishing with bait. It will grab small bits of bread or crackers that are thrown from the near by restaurant patrons, who feed the fish.

India was not on my list of places to go in 2016. My group, led by Rockjumper guide David Erterius, started off with a great view of this Brown Fish-Owl , perched on a low wall in a thicket of vines near the entrance to our route. Well, the Dusky Eagle-Owl was big too, but for some reason, the Fish-Owl seemed huge.

The species are taxonomically divided into two families: Tytonidae, Barn-Owls, and Strigidae, Owls, encompassed in one order, Strigiformes. When you look at Clements latest taxonomic spreadsheet, you get a sense of the depth of their relationships to each other and the world. Jennifer Ackerman is one of my favorite bird authors.
