MARCH 6, 2011

Corey encountered a bunch of winners, but 24 Common Redpolls at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, in almost the exact same spot he saw them a couple of years ago, feeding on birch inflorescence by the East Pond, were easily his best birds of the weekend. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment.

Also, I somehow doubt that whether I am stuck at work or not really influences how everyone else experiences spring but this is my blog post so I can use whatever criteria I want to measure how well spring has gone. I moped all the way to Coney Island where I drove with my family on an outing to the New York Aquarium.

That larger clade is in turn sister to a clade containing the four remaining totipalmate bird families, which do still seem to be related, and which needed a new order name once pelicans were removed. But meanwhile, let’s look at the four avian families that comprise the brand new order Suliformes.

Thankfully the days of visiting Africa purely for slaughtering its wildlife have mostly come to a merciful end, and safari operators have adopted the Big Five term to market tours that offer sightings of the fortunate remanants of Africa’s once teeming great herds.

From the time he can remember, every camping, hiking, or simple trip outside was focused on finding wildlife with herps, mammals, birds and native fish as his primary interests. Either that or having family friends in Germany. Once on our own, Jess and I decided to try a fun experiment. Any jealous Germans need a tissue?

and share their expertise , or do big years or write excellent blog posts. My librarian self is partial to a more strict taxonomic organization, but with no hope that the constant shifting of families will end in the near future, this type of sequence is making more and more sense.

This blog is written by writer, photographer, and animal advocate Ingrid Taylar. Years ago, I became a wildlife volunteer and advocate because of a cat who caught a bird. The wildlife center was an hour away if I was lucky. That was my first trip to California Wildlife Center. I scrambled for a box. I was mortified.

Both Puerto Rico and the USVI have active birding communities that are currently excluded from full membership in the ABA family. All Americans Should be Full Members of the ABA Family. Adding Puerto Rico and the USVI would largely achieve the goal of bringing all Americans into full membership of the ABA family.

Informed literature bears out my experience that most birds are seen singly or in pairs. The resolution has been reduced for the blog, but in high-res, 2 or 3 dark filaments are visible. The nom de blog Redgannet was adopted to add an air of mystery and to make himself more attractive to women. Their function?

Someone of your birding experience may already recognize the problems posed by such little diversity among American birders which include: So many people are missing out on the fun and benefits of birding. That’s why you blog about birds, take photos of birds, tweet about birds, etc. – to reach others.

I strongly suspect that the rate of attrition on this Loon family is inversely proportionate to the abundance of ducklings in the bay. Non-bird watchers without binoculars and experience are notoriously bad sources of information. Sometimes that one reaches adulthood, but just as often it disappears. More alarm calling. Apparently.

One of the nice things about Christmas in New Zealand is that we get to experience it in the summer, when things are pretty kicking here. Of course, being Christmas it is a time for travel, which means I often miss the season visiting family in Australia or the UK, or, as is happening this year, Borneo.
