Enter the “Goo Goo Muck”, a tart India Pale Ale by Seventh Son Brewing Company of Columbus, Ohio. Still, when I find a good beer with a bird on it, it deserves a mention here, IPA or not.

The celebration of Columbus Day in the United States has become somewhat contentious over the years as people have taken a more nuanced look at the “discovery” of the New World. On this Columbus Day, my attention turns to other invaders of a more avian kind.

Birds of a Feather is made with Mosaic, Citra, and Columbus hops, three of the most popular varieties of the last ten years. But at the rate breweries are releasing New England IPAs, we shouldn’t be at all surprised if one comes out next week named Homophily – perhaps with some unidentifiable fish on it. Anyway, on to the beer.

According to some sources, when the so-called Pilgrims settled in for the First Thanksgiving Dinner with the local Native Americans, in 1620, they dined on Turkey, and this Turkey came from the Old World, from stock that was originally brought to Spain by Columbus.

Some famous (and famously questionable) personalities have also visited in the past, names like Christopher Columbus and Donald Trump come to mind. I must ashamedly admit that prior to this mission, I had never been birding on the island before. People do visit the island, often for hiking or camping.

Arriving in North America around the time of Columbus, they have become “one of the most successful invasive species on earth.”. It’s not just the effect of cats on wildlife that should be alarming, “Cat Wars” says. It’s also their role as “vectors of disease,” especially toxoplasma gondii.

Saturday morning was my first opportunity and I made my way via the F and the D trains to Columbus Circle, at the southwest corner of Central Park, and walked my way up the west side of the park, eventually starting my search for the sole remaining Barred Owl in earnest near the Pinetum.

Wherever you drink it, Surf Wax is a great IPA in the West Coast vein, made with four popular varieties of hops: Mosaic, Centennial, Citra, and Columbus. But my cans of Surf Wax never made it out to the briny deep: the trip was cancelled due to inclement weather, forcing me to enjoy my IPA in decidedly less maritime conditions.

You know, they come in an even smaller version than “itty-bitty”… Stumpy Duck calls itself an American pale ale but a robust dose of wheat and Columbus, Centennial, and Citra hops make sure it’s an uncommonly fruity and refreshing example of the style, perfect for warm weather drinking.

Although knowledge of its existence dates back to writings made by Christopher Columbus in the 14th century, we know relatively little about this bird’s biology, ecology, and historical distribution. It was only about 20 inches (50cm) long, making it about a third smaller than its supposed closest mainland relative, the Scarlet Macaw.

His parents moved where opportunity beckoned, taking him from San Angelo, Texas, to Columbus, New Mexico, then to Dallas, and finally on to California. Raised in and around the West Texas steppe country where temperatures reached 100 degrees with regularity, he began life as the Dust Bowl and Great Depression converged.

In A Feathered River Across the Sky , Joel Greenberg quotes the experience of the residents of Columbus, Ohio in 1855: “Now everyone was out of the houses and stores, looking apprehensively at the growing cloud, which was blotting out the rays of the sun. We know what those large flocks were like. Children screamed and ran for home.

Jules L Garel Columbus, Ohio, July 31, 2008 I have visited many of the grotesque factory farms that now corrupt our rural landscapes. Government animal rights regulations may help. But compassion and civil sense from the large farm entrepreneurs might be more helpful.

I’ve rushed to spring reports of these birds in Columbus, Ohio’s Greenlawn Cemetery. I’ve been on the wrong side of the bush from one or more during fall migration at Higbee’s Beach in Cape May, New Jersey. I’ve driven the back roads of the North Woods looking and listening in vain.
