I think some of the antagonism towards listing in birders comes from the mistaken belief that one’s list is nothing more the basest commodification of birds, living beings with incredible life histories reduced to a number. For instance, #400 for is Peregrine Falcon , which I first spotted in the Florida Keys.

I only had a few days in California while visiting my brother at Berkeley, but we couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to visit one of the most famous birding sites in the country: Point Reyes National Seashore. Add those life mammals to the life birds I already expected to see, and I was practically vibrating with excitement.

If the home birding patch is in Canada or the United States of America, it’s not really that far. Get on the plane anywhere from North Carolina to Texas or Florida and we are talking three to four hours. Last weekend, I got in a morning over there with my birding buddy Susan. This is a female Green Thorntail.

I’ve been told that you can regularly find yourself in some pretty exceptional shorebirding in North Carolina as you get closer to the coast. Yes, 2011 was a great year for birding the Triangle. With large numbers of shorebirds present, the falcons came.

The Delmarva Peninsula juts southward towards North Carolina like the appendix of the eastern seaboard. And it’s on this marvel of engineering that I arrived for the recent American Birding Association Rally held at Kiptopeke State Park, on the very southern tip of the appendix.

Birds in Delaware Bay. From North Carolina south to Texas, just under half of beaches are developed. Examples of actions underway to improve feeding conditions for knots and other shorebirds in the Delaware Bay include beach management to minimize disturbance and to reduce interference from gulls and Peregrine Falcons.

I enjoy collecting children’s books about birds and nature that I come across in the expected (book stores) and unexpected (academic library conference reports) places. The Taínos named the birds Iguacas, after their call. Spanish settlers arrived in 1493 and called the birds Coterras. The birds thrive.
