Notice that the “owner&# of the birds, Doug Ratcliff doesn’t seem to care about anything but their monetary value. But, you know, at least he was going to take care of them: “I volunteered to feed and water them every other day, but on Wednesday they took a whole bunch of birds,&# Ratcliff said.

I bring this up not to boast (well, not much) but because I think that this approach to wildlife travel is somewhat neglected in birding circles. Read most accounts of how birders see birds outside their patch and one way or another, they’re tourists. Nothing forms bonds like rolling around in bird…uh… waste.

It is the featureless nature of the sea of blue, spanning from horizon to horizon, its neglect of offering a foothold to the wandering eye that binds my thoughts. Sure, every season has its typical set of birds. The birds of summer have gone. The sky has been haunting me for days now. They have gone. Here is why.

Last weekend, I went on a birding binge. I spent two full days where the birding was near constant, and, just to keep the binoculars from being neglected, topped it off with another half day of birding on our drive back from Cano Negro, Costa Rica. Most of the counting was done from boats.

Especially because my summer birds are gone. My friends with boats tell me of some great birds that are still around, of Ivory Gulls and Black-legged Kittewakes , of Arctic Terns and Dovkies. All great birds, and the Dovkies are not normally found in my corner of the Arctic, although they’ve been seen regularly this Fall.

I’m not a big fan of bird banding. When I see a band I imagine something slipping beneath it and trapping the bird, I’ve seen photos of birds with so many bands it looks like they’re wearing stockings, and then there’s the awful story of Violet , whose band eventually killed her. to find out her actual age. Should they keep her?

No, I am not going to tell you about some blood-sucking bird with hypnotic powers. But the bird is cool, and I need the photos to prove my points. Instead, they lay their eggs in other species’ nests, and let those nest-making birds (often significantly smaller than the cowbirds) raise their young. Double-ditto.
