'I am sure you know how it goes…when you are a birder, your friends (non-birders) will tell bird stories, anecdotes or ask questions about birds they have seen. A friend of mine told me, she has been seeing small groups of Swallow-tailed Kites ( Elanoides furficatus ) in the general area; in south Florida. This happened two days ago and I said to myself, I can’t believe August is here.

'We were excited to hear about the new line of dog food and treats from Beneful, and even more excited when they offered to let us try them out ourselves and hold a giveaway for you too. Did you know that dental problems are the most common health issue for US pets? Dental problems affect at least 70 to 80 percent of dogs and cats. That’s a lot!

'When was the last time you birded in the oldest forest preserve in the western hemisphere? If you have never been to the Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve on the island paradise that is Tobago, the answer is never. Since 1776 it has been protected land and the biodiversity there speaks volumes to what nearly 250 years of conservation can do. But I think that UNESCO explains things better than I can : The Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve is on record as the oldest legally protected forest reserve

'The male Western Tanager ( Piranga ludoviciana ) is unmistakable. He is the only tanager with strong wing bars, the anterior wing bar (median coverts) being bright yellow. Click on photos for full sized images. The female, this one spotted in my yard last September during fall migration, is a bit tougher to identify. She has kind of an olive-grayish back and scapulars with a greenish-yellow nape and rump.

'We recently went to visit a little farm, and they had a lot of fun chickens. This little guy however, was missing all of his feathers. I believe the breed of chicken is called Cochin, but as you can see, he doesn’t have the signature “pants” that his fellow chickens have. I think the poor little guy was moulting.

'Blackbirds are blackbirds. Meadowlarks are meadowlarks. In the new world all meadowlarks and blackbirds, along with grackles, cowbirds, orioles, oropendulas, and some others, are members of the family Icteridae , the New World Blackbirds. And while the birds that we in the western hemisphere refer to as blackbirds in their common names are from several different genera it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think that if a bird is in the same genus as the North American meadowlarks that it would

'The veranda at the Asa Wright Nature Center, one of the most storied and highly-lauded birding ecolodge destinations in the world, is a simply marvelous place. While sipping on rum punch,tea, or coffee you have the great pleasure of comfortably watching an amazing array of hummingbirds, tanagers, and a wide variety of other birds come in for their own refreshments from the feeders.

'Continued from: Birding Calchaqui valleys in northern Argentina. We began our next leg with our final destination the mountain town of Cachi. Not far from Cafayete the road changed to a dirt road with lots of dust and almost no vehicles. Soon we picked up on the side of the road a female Ultramarine Grosebeak and what appear to be a juvenile Lesser Seed-Finch.

'This morning it is drizzling. It rained hard last night, with hail and funnel clouds in Billings and lightning all along the storm’s path. The paper is reporting it as a mixed blessing — last week’s fires have been dampened and decreased, but that lightning could easily have sparked new flames where the vegetation is still seasonally dry.

'The natural attractions of midsummer seem more subtle than those enjoyed during the frantic peregrinations of the world’s migratory species. But tasteful birders can find odes, moths, and even shorebirds as beguiling as the most gaudy songbirds. How refined are your tastes in nature? The best birds of my weekend, believe it or not, were American Robins mobbing a crow.

'Although there are Boab trees in Broome you do need to head further north in the Kimberley to find them in large numbers and they really are impressive trees. Once you reach the small town of Derby they line the main street and as you travel along the Gibb River Road you will discover that they come in all shapes and sizes. It really is the iconic tree that defines the Kimberley and at this time of year most of the trees are just starting to sprout new leaves and their large nuts hang down from

'Have you ever seen a Boab tree? Birds in Australia love them ! Everyone I know in the Northern Hemisphere is either traveling or receiving visitors this weekend. Travel safely! I’m looking forward to a fun weekend of family and friends in an area where I should see lots of terrific forest birds. Corey will be enjoying city birds as he escorts family around town.

'I love authors who make good on their promises. When I reviewed The Warbler Guide back in June, I noted that the one thing that would make this book perfect was an audio collection of the warbler chips and songs illustrated in the book by graphical illustrations called sonograms. I also noted that the authors, Tom Stephenson and Scott Whittle, had promised “a library of warbler songs and sounds” in early July.

'Pat O’Donnell over at Costa Rica Living and Birding maps out a potential hummingbird-only big day route that could net the ambitious birder forty species of hummingbird in one day in Costa Rica (and potentially more). That made me wonder – what is the single day record for seeing the most species of hummingbird? The answer, apparently, is a whopping 41 species !

In truly absurd, I am not making this up news, villagers in Turkey recently accused a bird of being an Israeli spy.

'After all the excitement (such as it was) of last week it was nice to have an escape route from the city already lined up for the following weekend, a two night jaunt to the Marlborough Sounds. This scraggly collection of islands and deep long bays forms the tip of South Island closest to to North Island, but till this point my only experience of the area had been the long passage down Queen Charlotte Sound to reach the ferry terminal of Picton.
