Some of those mysterious creatures were birds. The most obvious place that cryptozoology and ornithology overlap is in the area of Lazarus taxa and would-be Lazarus taxa — the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, Eskimo Curlew, Pink-headed Duck , and the like — birds that no one doubts existed once, whether or not they exist today.

You should know by now that there are a good number of birds that spend an appreciable amount of time underwater. And then there are the crazy-awesome Dippers and one should not forget the great diving birds like Gannets and Albatrosses. Eagle Owls are often seen hiding in small caves. Talk about having birds on the brain, huh.

This place is such an epic birding location that one cannot possibly do the city and its surrounds justice in one post.

Clocking more than 50,000 miles per year, the birds appear to have cornered the market on the world’s longest annual migration. And that’s just the birds–you can spy on everything from panda bear cubs to beluga whales. Plus, we’re told, the brown bear cam features frequent cameos by Bald Eagles !).

Joseph Chiera is a Masters student in Animal Behavior and Conservation at Hunter College in NYC and a “somewhat newbie” to birding. After taking an ornithology course last year, he was hooked and spends most of his free time birding or reading birding blogs. Of course, birding was on the itinerary!

I remember, several times while motionlessly surveying birds, I found myself being investigated by Striped Field Mice , who would dare to come to sniff me. For a split-second I was considering the white morph of the Booted Eagle… while noticing that they do not have long stork necks and that they were… Egyptian Vultures ! There it is!”
