Enjoy your patches and your resident breeders. I’ll take new birds in new habitat any day. Corey is stuck in New York, but when you see the birds he does on a weekly basis, you’ve always got that vacation feeling. Anyone who knows me knows my favorite kind of birding: vacation birding. How about you?

We New York birders should be awash in migrating wood-warblers, flycatchers, vireos, tanagers, and a host of other birds right now. While the winds and weather systems have conspired to keep the bulk of migrating birds west of New York City we have seen many of local breeders show up as expected. It is 6 May.

Traveling really rejuvenates the passion when local breeders become banal. It is the first record of this invasive species for New York City and it served as a nice contrast to the hordes of pigeons in the neighborhood. Most people don’t expect birding wisdom from Buffet, but he is, after all, the Chief Parrothead!

Yellow-throated Warblers are a rarity in New York State and as I mentioned earlier this year they are usually considered an “overshoot,” that is, a bird that usually breeds further south that occasionally flies past its breeding grounds during migration before realizing what it has done and turning around to go back to where it belongs.

Corey, on the other hand, will spend the weekend reveling in resident breeders all across New York State. Let me know if you’re catching any last vestiges of spring migration in your neck of the woods… Since migration is allegedly over, I’m going on strike until autumn. How about you?

I expected a bit of a wait, or perhaps an outright dip, as Least Bitterns are notoriously skulky and I had neither seen nor heard a Least Bittern in New York in three years.

We were walking on the south side of the marsh, hoping to find some of the Common Redpolls that had invaded the New York City area the previous week when something made me look to my left and up and I saw a Short-eared Owl in flight that had evidently just been unintentionally flushed from the opposite side of the marsh by someone out for a stroll.

Every time someone buys a puppy or kitten from a breeder, a shelter animal loses its chance at a home and pays with its life. Breeders kill shelter animals’ chances to find good homes. This crisis calls for mandatory spay and neuter legislation. Given the current dire shortage of homes, no breeding is responsible.

In the case of Acorn Woodpeckers, they are cooperative breeders (as with many other polygynandrous species), which seems to predispose species to polygynandry. Alpine Accentors, on the other hand, are not cooperative breeders and females typically have very little to do with each other. Wicked, right? Hat-tip to Stella.
