Happy New Year, 10,000 Birds readers and writers! Everyone is looking back on their best birds of 2019, so I thought it would be a good idea to look at a book that looks back a little further: Urban Ornithology: 150 Years of Birds in New York City , by P. Buckley, Walter Sedwitz, William J.

Joshua Malbin has been birding in Brooklyn, NY for more than 10 of his 15-plus years doing it so far.

Not only have we completed Birding Tourism February , but we’ve also collectively made it through what is usually one of the least exciting birding months of the calendar year. This is not to say that fantastic birds cannot be found in February, but rather that we’re mostly picking through the remainders of the last season.

Of course, that is just my perspective and I have been known to think that birds that don’t show up until May are late if they aren’t here by mid-April.
