The demands of finishing your year’s essential tasks while celebrating a suite of holidays definitely puts a dent in your downtime. Not only do we see dramatic changes in both light and weather during the last weeks of the year, but our schedules also experience substantial imbalances of work, play, and rest.

Along the seashore, around lakes, and in most cities, the Great-tailed Grackle definitely qualifies as a trash bird. You might even tire of seeing them flutter above treetops while singing their long twittery song. This is a species that has very much learned to cohabit with humans, causing its population to explode into new areas.

Admittedly this has never crossed my mind as being remotely interesting, young birds are generally awkward things, not yet fitting into the sleek and streamlined expectation of the dictionary definition of “bird” Furthermore, thrushes are often underappreciated creatures on their own.

The first snipe I ever saw was on Tobago, a definite Wilson’s Snipe. Such was the unlikeliness of a definitive ID. The generally accepted rules were: any snipe found between 1st May and 31st July on Trinidad is definitely a South American Snipe , any snipe found outside of that time period could be either species.

I enjoyed Shakespeare in the Park this weekend, a tradition I definitely missed last year. We’re also accustomed at this time of year to have little out of the ordinary to pursue… except when that predictable/unpredictable vagrant comes along. Basically, summer birding resembles that of other seasons, just hotter and slower!

Out of the three species of antshrikes described here, only the Great Antshrike seems to be an ardent follower of army ant swarms.

Wood-Wrens, which like to live close to the ground in deep brush, definitely follow this rule; they are not at all colorful, but their song sure does ring. Like most of the species on this list, this tiny highland bird prefers to make its presence know by singing, rather than by being seen.

For anyone who has even a passing interest in words, definitions, or dictionaries, it is fascinating. But the verb definition (“to observe or identify wild birds in their habitats”) is also included. Combining the definitions, the word “birder” means “a person who observes or identifies wild birds in their habitats.”
