Walking along a dirt track next to a prairie, my friend and I were on the look-out for different sparrow species when a large bird suddenly darted into the clearing. Officially adopted as the state bird in 1949 , the Greater Roadrunner was once known as the “Chaparral Bird.”

Corey’s best bird of the weekend was a Grasshopper Sparrow in Queens, his first ever in his (adopted) home borough. By their unexpected numbers and activity, I wouldn’t be surprised if they we’re planning on breeding here. Wouldn’t that be something?

They are also early adopters with regard to their foraging – nowadays mostly following tractors rather than cattle. While the demand generally is fairly low, some house sparrows sometimes use this opportunity to get onto what is presumably the lowest level of the property ladder ( source ).

Jewish-calendar based year lists would start, depending on the year, with a burst of shore birds and waterfowl, a handful of late warblers, or the modest, meditative joy of migrant sparrows. Feeder birds and irruptives would show up just as the listing doldrums might otherwise set in.

When you think of invasives, you think of the birds that have been helped by human beings to get where they are, such as House Sparrow or European Starling.

Experienced birders can identify birds using GISS; all birders can identify birds if they adopt the BBI approach. This may make taxonomic fanatics faint, but it is useful for learning how to differentiate amongst birds that look alike but really aren’t, like sparrows and longspurs, hummingbirds and swifts. So say Kevin T.
