The shallows are full of ducks in eclipse, a real puzzle that requires a bit of time and a sharp eye – something you usually reserve for warblers and such. Wigeons are only migrants and not a breeding species in Serbia and August is a bit too early for any longer distance duck movements. White-tailed Eagles by Szekeres Levente.

The best place I could come up with that was within a short drive of my in-laws’ place in Yorba Linda was the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in nearby Irvine, only a quick twenty-minute drive away.

The area has a law in place to prevent attracting deer, you can have a bird feeder, but you can’t offer food on the ground. Granted, the law is written poorly, but the man was given several warnings and insisted on feeding birds on the ground and attracted huge flocks of ducks and no doubt raccoons at night. Grackle Guy?

Every species is going to do something different. Say a duck hunter knows that the closed pools nearby has ducks and it’s dead in the pool where they are hunting. They call their friend to check the ducks with a drone and the ducks get flushed and go to the hunting pond? Here’s a guy harassing Osprey.

This weekend was dedicated to enjoying the company of my visiting mother, brother, sister-in-law, and niece. The gender of this duck drove my decision, since I swore I would not be moved to chase a drab eider hen, even if it would be a life bird. Consequently, I spent lots of time in non-birdy environments. Is he becoming a larophile?

In some cases, Hashimoto presents both water color and block print images, such as the block print of a male Wood Duck shown at the beginning of this review, colorfully dramatic, and the watercolor below, more subtle and atmospheric in its use of line and hue. The index lists bird species by whole name, which is less than satisfactory.

Late April / early May is the best birding season in the south of Europe and wherever you go, you will have 50% to 100% more species than in any other season. Recently, I did a bit of embankment birding, nailing 65 species (several of them firsts for the season, European Bee-eaters among them – always exciting).

It happens to every birder and it may take a while but eventually, every person who strives to see different species of birds comes across that one warbler, that particular shorebird or bunting or crossbill that they really, honestly, should have seen. My former nemesis was the Masked Duck. It also shows there every year!

It is expected that most birders will keep a life list, a glorious tally of every species which has crossed one’s path over the years around the globe.

I counted birds not at my own feeders but at those of my mother-in-law, where my best sighting was a single Northern Raven that croaked back and forth for hours in the unexpectedly warm winter sun. Neither was it an American Bittern , a Harlequin Duck , nor any of the three scoters despite him seeing all of those as well.

For those interested in avian conservation, some knowledge of the bureaucratic process is useful, as it is used to implement many important conservation laws. For example, the process applies to, among other things, the listing (and delisting) of species under the Endangered Species Act and interpretation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

I initially thought I would focus on the intersection of birding and the law and birding on federal public lands, and I have done lots of posts on those topics.
