I put it in a small box for several hours, where it appeared to recover, but studies have shown that internal injuries from a strike usually kill the bird. FLAP is the Fatal Light Awareness Program, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and this is how they raise awareness. The more glass, the more bird kills. ©2012 Donna L.

Recent studies show that many island species went extinct before anyone managed to document their existence. This bird was in serious trouble by the mid-19th century due to the adults being killed for food and young being taken for pets. The islands of the Caribbean are no exception. Nests were in hollows in palm trees. What a horror!

Without further ado, here are our Best Birds of the Year for 2015… Jochen makes us all jealous with a bird that most of us would kill to see. I have looked for them in southern California in winter several times, I have looked for them in Washington in summer , and I have looked for them in Costa Rica this month.
