But I took an opportunity to go down to Manitoba with Travis to see my family. Most troubling for me, because I think of them as my birds, is the abandoned nesting attempt by a pair of Pacific Loons. Better times: Pacific Loon family from two seasons ago. To start off I was away for a couple of weeks.

Apparently, one of the threats to this species comes from the bioaccumulation of mercury in its feathers – though I balked at paying USD 40 for the scientific paper providing the details, from the abstract and the location of the authors, it seems they examined feathers of this bird living in an abandoned mining region in Guiyang, China.

The Juniper Titmouse ( Baeolophus ridgwayi ) is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. But a Bewick’s Wren did build a nest, which it promptly abandoned before laying any eggs.

Every spring they totally steal the show in the northeast and you really can’t blame birders for abandoning their jobs, their families, and their sanity as they rush to New York City’s abundant and amazing parks to see the show live and in technicolor.

It’s a family vacation, sure, but there’s always time for birding and in Florida, the birding often finds you. You can tell which abandoned lots host owls by a small roped off area with the tell-tale t-bars that the owls perch upon. I’ve spent the last week in southwest Florida.

I strongly suspect that the rate of attrition on this Loon family is inversely proportionate to the abundance of ducklings in the bay. The adults move to flocks, there may be two or three of them, that hang out mostly far off shore in the larger part of the lake, abandoning their embayments or otherwise protected areas.
