While this allows for the delightful prospect of Thanksgivingakkah, with attendant turkey dreidels and whatnot, it does raise certain perennial questions of the nature of time itself, as applied to birding. It is common and widely recognized and for those very reasons, to most of us it just feels right.

Ferret 492 — a black-footed ferret, Mustela nigripes — raises her head from a black-tailed prairie dog’s burrow, sniffs the April night. No coyotes in sight right now, the Great Horned Owls are off in the cottonwoods closer to the river. The ferret raises her head again — up periscope — and hesitates.

The very excited response was that she had been banded as a fledgling in 1983, which made her, at 27 years and 9 months of age, the second oldest living wild Red-tailed hawk ever recovered in all of North America.

American Crows live in extended families, with sons and daughters from previous years helping to raise the current brood. Yellow Warblers are able to recognize Cowbird eggs, and if conditions are right will build a new nest floor on top of the egg and their own eggs, burying them. And another when that egg is removed.
