North America is aflame with eclipse fever right now, which provides yet another opportunity to wonder what life would be like if the average citizen felt a fraction as much passion for birding as is devoted to countless sports, media, celebrities, fashion, or even the rare astronomical phenomenon. What was your best bird of the weekend?

A female Ring-necked Pheasant made a run from one clump of vegetation to the next, fortunately going right through Corey’s field-of-view. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. Sure, it’s an introduced species, but seeing a female pheasant so well is a treat!

The food was better than decent, which exceeds our experience of Panamanian cuisine at most other locations. In fact, we saw two species of monkey, our only sloths, lots of coatis, and my rarest ever mammal sighting—a Jaguarundi —right on site. Yes, that’s Panama City to the right. TRANSPORTATION.

Gorman’s personal field experience informs much of the text and his total grasp of the field means he relates one research finding to another with narrative ease. I do wish that Gorman included more of his personal experiences and stories in the natural history tradition of ornithologists like Alexander Skutch.

Birdlife South Africa has previously done two of these types of trips before, previously called Flock to Sea – Namibia in 2013 and Flock to Nowhere in 2017, in partnership with MSC Cruises. I learned of the trip right as it had been delayed and made a vow that I would be on that ship. Salvin’s Prion.

With its striking combination of colour rings I suspected that it would be easy to find out more about this particular bird, and I was right. 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.

European Robin had to be on the list, because it says everything about an English Winter and what a few of you are no doubt experiencing right now! Finally it turned itself the right way up and was a Pintail Duck ! The same experience was to be had at Rutland Water, so watch out for the sneaky upside down ducks! Pintail Duck.

Recently, while guiding ABA 2017 Big Year winner Yve Nagy Morrell in Costa Rica for a handful of days, we found ourselves trying for just a few more. A few other birds also showed, highlights including a tree full of screeching Mealy Parrots but other birding experiences par excellence were waiting in the wings.

Covering 1,261 species with data and taxonomy current up to August 2017, the field guide is an exciting achievement. Text is on the left, plates are on the right. Nevertheless, it necessary to combine field experience with museum experience to create a vivid and accurate image of a species. The picture gets complicated.

The answer was right in front of me, a bit to the right, an adult keeping an eye on oblivious tourists, the nest deep within the tree.

Illustrations were created using diverse visual and physical source materials–skin collections from Australian museums and a database of over 300,000 photographs (plus, of course, the artists’ years of field experience). These “vignettes” are sadly limited due to space considerations. Bruce Richardson.

I will also give you the link here for 2017 in case you are reading this next year or want to plan a trip for next year! From our experience the greatest risk is when the shorebirds take off in a panic flight and clip each other’s wings and several fall into the sea. Red Knot stand out and even a Silver Gull head on the right!
