Frequently the field guide presents a curated selection of species on the same plate to illustrate key differences essential to nailing a positive identification. The largest and bulkiest of the three is the more or less ever-present Streaked Flycatcher. In reality these species are rarely in the same place at the same time, however!

You don’t really know a bird until you’ve studied it on its breeding grounds. I present here an annotated collection of photos documenting the entry of new parrotlets into this world.

Think about it–how do you document the behavior of birds that spend years flying (or swimming) and feeding and, apparently, sleeping above or within the deep sea?

Phillipps’ Field Guide (I’ll be using this shortened form of the title) covers 673 avian species, including 59 endemics, and 53 species that have not been documented yet for the area but which may show up in the next few years. Borneo, the authors say, is under-birded. I think we need to do something about that.

Most importantly, let us remember that the effects of the spill are still being felt and the BP Oil Spill timeline continues until the present and into the future. We documented the relocation of several turtle nests. The babies that hatched from these eggs were released on Florida’s east coast.

A lovely looking and distinctive sounding bird (so they say, I sadly have not seen one…yet), the Kirtland’s Warbler can only be found during its breeding season in Jack Pine forests 5 to 20 years old in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The Kirtland’s Warbler is divided into three sections: The Past, The Present, The Future.
