A handful Animal Person readers since May of 2006, when I started this then-daily blog, have asked me if I've read Joan Dunayer.

Though all birds will be somehow impacted by climate change, I think it is important to note that not all will suffer.

Last month I accompanied Seagull Steve to South Florida for two weeks, which yielded some excellent birds…we missed the Fork-tailed Flycatcher on Big Pine Key, but that’s because we were on the Dry Tortugas, so we aren’t complaining. The condition this bird is suffering from is avian keratin disorder, I believe.
