She even asked me to draw her such a scene as a birthday present (you must understand that she is a very indulgent parent and was apparently delighted with this 8-year-old’s efforts). My mother’s favourite sight is a tractor being followed by gulls as it ploughs the autumn fields.

Mourning Doves , for instance, while they’re hardly present in those impossible flocks it’s not impossible for us to imagine the familiar streamlined shape of pigeons bolting across the sky. Barreling into your feeder with reckless abandon and cleaning you right out. Groves of trees with pigeon dung as deep as spring snow.

There were plenty of birders present ready to watch the heck out of anything that passed through, but all agreed that it was (that dreaded phrase) ”a quiet day” Sadly duty called and Meredith had to get to work. Had the warblers appeared, they would have made for good watching.

Jayne has given many presentations about rehabilitating Chimney Swifts; so here, straight from the source, is Chimney Swift Re-Nesting 101: Make sure the babes are not cold. Chimney Swifts are dedicated, hard-working parents, and will not abandon their nestlings unless they think they’re gone for good. You don’t need the nest!”

First of all, we – we being Seth, Shai, Pat, and me – had just left the tidal mudflats after finding and enjoying two Arctic Terns and there had been no Sandwich Tern present. I like this shot, taken as the tern flew over to preen, because it looks like it is abandoning the Common Tern to drown.

Over the last weekend, I was at Lake Kissimmee in Florida, observing Snail Kites at an area kites were not present or rare just a few years ago. Adult kites are also known to abandon their chicks when they are unable to find enough food for the chicks and themselves. Kites now nest there and are fairly common.

One can be too limited, too inside a character’s head to get a whiff of outside viewpoint, but because the author is not using the dreaded word “I” every paragraph or so, she or he may not remember the they are presenting an unreliable narrator and need to give the audience the clues required to interpret such a beast.

They lurk ever-present in our sub-concious as sacred items on an unobtainable, yet highly desirable, list. We pour over photographs, read with envy the eye-witness accounts of the “lucky ones” and fabricate secret plans to abandon our loved ones and embark on expensive trips to track them down. Birding’s Holy Grails.

The thought of an Oriole foraging in bare winter branches is as foreign as a Petrel on a pool and yet, there it was in my yard picking through an abandoned squirrel’s nest for what appeared to be spiders. They are, for many birders in the eastern part of the continent, one of a short list of quintessential spring birds.

From the point of view of religion, however, the question presents a challenge. We should not abandon our meat-eating habits, but remoralize them, by incorporating them into affectionate human relations, and using them in the true Homeric manner, as instruments of hospitality, conviviality and peace.
