Instead I will just focus on the bestial behemoths of the seabird scene, the penguin plunderers, the tern terrorizers, the jaegers so impressive that even North Americans call them skuas, yes, Stercorarius maccormicki , the South Polar Skua. South Polar Skua before dawn. Awesome! ….

We were glued to the TV when Discovery Chanel was airing Frozen Planet, and we have been even more enthralled now that we have the entire collection on DVD (they also have it in Blu-Ray). We loved seeing penguins, whales, polar bears, and wolves. We loved it when the penguins jumped out of the water, and right onto a camera man!

I’ve been thinking about petrels a lot since last week’s post, probably because I am planning a trip to the Otago Peninsula soon which should get me a whole raft of petrels and penguins. Indeed their name reflects where the species was first collected; the Cape of Good Hope, even though none breed anywhere close to there!

This group includes the Suliformes , Pelecaniformes (as newly redefined), storks, tubenoses, penguins, loons , and perhaps tropicbirds.

Stumpy Duck is part of Trillium’s Small Bird Series, a collection of lighter, lower-alcohol beers brewed for summer, with each can sparingly decorated with a different bird in miniature. In this kind of company, the often-overlooked and underappreciated Mallard starts looking pretty good, at least from a North American birding perspective.

Little was known about oiled bird care at that time and despite the courageous attempts of hundreds of volunteers, only 300 birds survived from the 7,000 collected. In January 1971, two oil tankers collided under the Golden Gate Bridge, spilling more than 800,000 gallons of crude oil into the San Francisco Bay.

The bird today is documented physically by only a single specimen (a second was lost), but where the specimens were collected — and therefore where this species actually lived before its extinction — is unknown.
