10,000 Birds

Birds are singing and migrating, freshets are running, and trees are budding – yes, it’s time for all those things. And given what these birds have been through, this caution is certainly warranted. At last, it’s spring in the northern half of the world. What’s in a name?

It took me a while to wrap my mind around the concept of Birds and People , Mark Cocker and David Tipling’s book that, in 592 pages, explores the intersection of just that—birds and us. Nor have I overlooked “sightings” of birds in movies mouthing other birds’ calls. I’m not sure why.

Unless those non-birding folks happen to be duck hunters or love to go fishing, they tend to stay away from the marshes, the riparian zones, the bottom lands. See the birds? Along with the other two members of the finfoot family, the Sungrebe is a super cool weird bird. For us birders, visiting a wetland is a no-brainer.

For nearly a hundred years, after the eggers, meat-hunters, plume-hunters, and a human-influenced gull population boom, puffins were absent from the island. They were reintroduced to Eastern Egg Rock starting in 1973 , with over a thousand young transported from Canada over several years. Black Guillemots are awesome.

The Ruffed Grouse is a bird of the forests across much of North America, from Alaska and the mountains of the west through Canada, and in the east down through the Appalachians to Georgia.

A breeding bird atlas is a special kind of book. For birders, it’s the extremely large book, shelved in a place where it can’t crush the field guides, used to research the history of a bird in their area. It included surveys of nocturnal and marsh birds, and a point count survey of songbirds.

This spring I received a phone call from a friend of mine up here, whose growing interest in birds I’ve been nurturing. Scavenger or efficient hunter? King Eider are good sized birds, and powerful fliers So some Ravens here hunt and kill at least some of their food. How common is it? Consider this.

A first-winter Red-breasted Goose at Cley, North Norfolk As a general rule, geese are birds of subtle, even dull, plumage. The black geese – Brent/Brant, Canada, Barnacle – show a little more variety, but there’s only one goose that really stands out for its striking plumage, and that’s the appropriately named Red-breasted.

Since I go birding every Monday, I decided that perhaps it was a sign, and asked if I could participate. This is more than clear from the data they wish to collect, which emphasizes waterfowl over shorebirds, and seems to completely ignore the other birds that occur around bodies of water. (It

As all of you know, that means new birds to see with all this new territory visited. The first stop, Summer Lake Wildlife Refuge in central Oregon is without a doubt one of the most important stop overs for migrating birds on the west coats, no matter the species. Black-neck Stilts and White-faced Ibis were incredibly abundant.

In the birding community, standardization of common names has followed, and is an on-going project (with mixed success.) In some cases, this has increased beauty and precision, saving us from a morass in which every red bird is a Redbird and every blue jay is a Blue Jay. Also known as Meat-bird, Moosebird, and Lumberjack.

My parrots have nailed me harder than any wild bird,” said Jodi Swenson. My vets wanted to send me to the ER immediately, but I said ‘Forget it, I’ve got the damned bird restrained so I’m not letting go now!’ Right now I have a nice hickey on my arm from a Canada Goose. Most of mine are small mammals,” said Denise Hunter.

David Tomlinson If you are American then you will no doubt know Perdix perdix as the Gray Partridge , an introduced game bird now widespread on the prairies of Canada and the northern states of the USA. These are hardy birds – they have to be to survive a Canadian winter. How the war is affecting it nobody seems to know.

It’s September and time for birds to start their southerly journeys. The migrants face many perils, hunters, predators, adverse weather conditions and lack of refueling opportunities due to habitat loss. Please remember to give migrating birds the space that they need. Gray Go-away-bird – Corythaixoides concolor.

Larger, denser with avian information than your typical field guide, a Crossley Guide bursts with bird images, photographic plates that verge on the surreal of birds in all plumages and poses against real-life habitats, informing, sometimes overwhelming us with visual and, if you can take your eyes off the images, textual information.

It goes without saying that our three breeding species of mergansers in the United States are amongst the most brilliantly colored birds we have. Red-breasted Mergansers occupy most of Canada and into Alaska for breeding with some of the norther tier of the United States. This is where they are truly effective and amazing hunters.
