The Bald Eagle is not just an American symbol, it is also a quintessentially American story. Inside a Bald Eagle’s Nest: A Photographic Journey through the American Bald Eagle Nesting Season , by Teena Ruark Gorrow and Craig A. As an experiment, I also ran this book by a non-birding friend.

You might think that birds don’t change the world, birds are the world – but by his odd title, Ten Birds That Changed the World, author Stephen Moss means, he says, that birds have, in various ways, led to “paradigm shifts” in human history. Maybe Moss is right, and birds have changed history.

This is what happens to countless birds each year when they land the wrong way on power distribution lines and poles. But occasionally people see it – especially when it’s a hard-to-miss bird like this Bald Eagle. Within walking distance of her house were a pair of Bald Eagles with two chicks.

Change is good, particularly because it always brings new birds. Though the late night Barred Owls were nice and the Bald Eagle hanging out on the lake was very pleasant, Corey most preferred when he came across a mixed flock of wood-warblers. What was your best bird of the weekend? How about you?

This year has been bountiful in books about bird behavior (reference and otherwise) from the likes of David Allen Sibley , Helen Macdonald, Jennifer Ackerman , Wenfei Tong, and others. The latest is the encyclopedic and delightful Peterson Reference Guide to Bird Behavior , by John Kricher. What do we mean, anyway, by bird “behavior”?

The silver lining to these frigid winters is that birds are very active around my house, so I can enjoy cool cold-weather birds like Red-breasted Nuthatch from a warm perch. As many as six soaring overhead at once was enough to make the national bird of the United States Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend. How about you?

While these birds are very much liked by Chinese birders, the species could unfortunately not be named the National Bird of China as the Latin species name of the bird is Grus Japonicus. Frankly, if the name of the Bald Eagle was North Korean Eagle ( Haliaeetus coreaseptentrionalis ?),

Even the birding is decent. Corey only birded for a bit on Saturday afternoon and didn’t see much that was terribly exciting. Of what he did see, a pair of Bald Eagles at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge was the highlight, a species that didn’t used to be around in June in Queens at all. How about you?

Clavruel’s book is not a day-by-day recreation of Audubon’s various itineraries, but rather a loose investigation of “regions and birds unknown to me,” he says, prompted by his “desire to meet and sketch people who live each day in contact with nature.” Birds, mammals and other wildlife, humans and landscapes are all rendered magnificently.

Over the years I’ve seen a variety of open-country birds there, including Bobolinks , Vesper Sparrow , and American Kestrel. Over the years birding Willow Lake I had added nearly eighty eBird checklists at the preserve and netted myself 127 species, good for number two on the eBird hotspot list. I really hope so.

There are few places I have seen with more birds than Rodman Reservoir. I not only appreciated the diversity of species, but also just how many birds there were.

There are a lot of birds in Washington, DC. Oh sure, you can go to Rock Creek Park or the Tidal Basin to seek out living avian species, or visitors can head to the Smithsonian museums for a dose of past and present bird lore from all over the world.

The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States of America. It was chosen as the national bird by dint of its inclusion in the National Seal of the United States, which happened by an act of the Continental Congress on 20 June 1782.

As mentioned earlier in these pages , wind farms and eagles don’t always go well together—the birds, which often scan the ground for prey instead of looking straight ahead while they’re flying, thus don’t see wind turbines until it’s too late. It’s not just eagles, either; other bird and bat species also fall victim to the turbines.)
