I could imagine that timing the earlier emergence of insect prey at the breeding grounds is particularly problematic for insectivorous species. This abundance by no means meant theat they are easy to see, and I got quite a sore neck from peering into the canopy. Eurasian Blackcaps, while even more common, are also always a pleasure.

In fact, there are probably few species so well-known and well-loved. In the spruce-birch forests above 5,000 feet in elevation, the Black-caps live out their lonely existence as the representative of the species in the far south. And of course, they were over 5000 feet up in the Smokies. This is the story of the last one.

Email lists, blogs, websites, forums, Facebook groups, and of course eBird (see below) has completely revolutionized the way birders get their business handled.

The title of the one just mentioned starts with “Intimacy across species boundaries” … The Spot-necked Babbler is “shy and social”, according to eBird, which sounds a bit like a contradiction to me. ”, in which the Red-whiskered Bulbul is named as one of the two most heavily targeted bird species.

The two stories about New York City are personal favorites, of course. It’s a bit of a sore thumb, a well-known essay by a famous writer-who-is-also-a-birder in a collection of essays by new and experienced-but-as-well-known-as-they-should-be writers, and I wish Rogers had given some background on its placement here.

Species that back here in New York either don’t occur or only occur in winter and that necessitate a drive far to the north of New York City were common in the backyard in Breckenridge. Of course, this is one of the great boons of traveling for a birder: you get to see stuff that would otherwise be impossible to see on your home turf.

It may be as sick as deliberately targeting an endangered species for death. Hunting sandhill cranes in the Eastern flyway will put those 100 whooping cranes at even greater risk of being brought down by gunfire, hunter education courses and handy color brochures notwithstanding. Speculation is useless in acts of vandalism.
