10,000 Birds

Way back in February when I was enjoying a family-and-friends vacation on New Providence in the Bahamas I wisely hired the best – and the only – bird guide on the island, Carolyn Wardle , for half a day to show me around some of the hotspots and help me find endemics and other species I wanted to see.

The White cheeked Pintail ( Anas bahamensis ), also known as the Bahama Pintail , is a dabbling duck that plies brackish waterways throughout its range. The Bahama Pintail is a truly beautiful duck with a divinely dappled fawn breast and spiky scalloping adorning plumage of black and rufous.

Corey spent Saturday journeying back to New York from the Bahamas and most of Sunday recovering. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. Fortunately, before he left he saw some great birds on Friday. Of them, his third Thick-billed Vireo of the trip (and ever!)

Coupled with its geologic youth, this makes the southern tip of the state function as a bit of an island experiment. La Sagra’s Flycatcher , Thick-billed Vireo , Western Spindalis , and Bahama Mockingbird are the most regularly occurring, but other species show up to like Loggerhead Kingbird and Bahama Woodstar.

And, while friends have told that me that I can go to the Bahamas and easily see the warbler in January, it turns out that is not true, the bird is elusive in its winter habitat as well (which is not Jack Pine, by the way). So if you want to see a Kirtland’s Warbler, you go to Michigan in May or June.

Volunteering provides a very different experience to tourism though. In the Bahamas I swam in a pod of feeding dolphins. And come the new year I’ll be telling you all about my experiences this time around. There is nothing wrong with the bird race approach to birding, or tourism in general, I should point out.

Kirtland’s Warblers are rare, apparently fewer than 2,000 in the world, they winter in the Bahamas and summer in Michigan. I have chronicled the experience on my blog. But I do monitor our local hotline and couldn’t resist a Kirtland’s Warbler that showed up not far from home.
