When I read somewhere that Pygmy Geese were not actually geese at all I started doing some research.

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. This is truly a bird-lovers dream-destination.

This evergreen post, first written in 2004, has become a 10,000 Birds staple. No Christmas carol features birds as prominently as this one. To the birder, this begs the question: what species of birds appear in the Twelve Days of Christmas ? However, in this case, a bit of research paid off. Merry Christmas!)
