Author Sherrida Woodley thinks deeply about dearly departed birds. But he tried, using the Craigheads’ techniques, and he learned from that young bird, and eventually many others along the way. Tom Cade, a quiet, down-to-earth ornithologist, more than once remarked that falconry is really just another form of bird watching.

The Weekly Reader had shocked everyone in class with news of Bald Eagles dying – and humans were to blame! When news later reached our little town (likely through a newspaper) that the bird-killing chemical was to be banned, my environmental activism was born. Fast forward to the next decade and humans were at it again.

I was going to have something for you this month about the dinosaur-bird thing, but I never got to it. The potpourri covers some interesting bird related science of the last few weeks, and the promise is this: I’ll get to that other stuff soon, I promise! One of the birds most affected by this is Cassin’s Auklets.

While it makes a passing attempt to say not all scientists are like these monstrous fiends (or truly arrogant, as she dubs them) it mostly focuses on these monstrous fiends simply to prove that scientists in wildlife conservation can be monstrous fiends, particularly compared to the environment-loving oil industry of Alaska.

Dozens of other introduced bird species, largely escapees from pet owners, now call Miami home. Strangely, only a paltry eighteen exotic bird species are countable for birders, according to the American Birding Association. I recently had a great day out targeting miami’s exotic birds.

Will Raup is a birder from upstate New York who helped Corey learn a lot about birds when Corey was first starting out as a birder.

The gulls that spent months attacking any human on the place are content to loaf around and ignore you. I have no idea what kind of wagtail, there are several it could be, and I am not particularly familiar with the wagtails of Eastern Asia and Alaska. And there aren’t just cool birds rocking up, migratory bats do too.

I’ve been fortunate to encounter many owls in my birding life, sometimes because I’m looking for them, sometimes happily by happenstance. It’s also about human-owl interaction on an individual level and a wider sociocultural level, and ultimately how we can use all this for habitat and bird conservation.

The NYC owls have little to do with the book in front of me except that it too is about birds and people. The 26 essays in When Birds Are Near are all about the real-life and emotional spaces where people overlap with birds. The essays range widely in place, bird, and voice, though the emphasis is on the North American.

If you had your choice of one bird family to pursue, to seek out and observe and photograph and kvell over, which one would you choose? A passion for one bird family is also very useful. It provides goals and a definite direction for your birding travels and thoughts; sometimes it even becomes the basis of a book!

Oh, and maybe humans need to be a bit less destructive to your habitat, too. It seems that at Nanhui, somebody is trying to kill even more than 2 bird(s) (species) with one stone (to be more accurate, not a single stone but a massive amount of concrete). While small, these birds cover impressive migration routes.

The person who named this bird apparently cleverly chose the name Yellow-rumped Flycatcher to distinguish the bird from the Narcissus Flycatcher, which is also yellow-rumped. In Chinese, this bird is called White-browed Flycatcher, which introduces some (possibly undesirable) logic into the world of bird names.

But it is the height of migratory season here in central Mexico, and that made me also spend some time thinking about this issue of connectivity, and the artificial separations we humans attempt to create. Oil drilling on Alaska’s North Shore suddenly feels personal. After all, for migratory birds, all states are fly-over states.
