'“Here’s an idea for a blog,” wrote Donna Osburn, a wildlife rehabilitator from Kentucky. “What’s your best misidentification of a bird?”. This is a great topic. It even has two parts. Rehabbers are constantly receiving birds misidentified by their finders; and on occasion some of us even receive birds we misidentify ourselves. The creature above was brought to me by an elegantly-dressed man who had found him outside his condo.

'A loud chirp rang from the side of the mountain, and a handful of stones skittered down the talus slope. A bit alarming, given the events of the last few weeks in Missoula, but after years of close encounters with chipmunks and ground squirrels I have finally gotten to have a pretty good idea of a rodent when I hear one. Sure enough, I looked up to see a pair of yellow-bellied marmots, big woodchuck-esque creatures with adorable nose patches, come bounding and sliding down the steep, sparsely-t

'I’ve heard many people ask “why don’t they call it the Ring-billed Duck?” They do have a white band toward the end of their bill. But if you look closely, you can see the dark violet band around the neck of the male Ring-necked Duck ( Aythya collaris ). Click on photos for full sized images. The female has what some might construe as a “ring” around the neck where the light colored throat moves toward the more brown breast.

'What makes this or that bird one we want to see on our next birding trip? Personal preferences are important, but there is certain criteria each species is tested against before it gets on the short wish list. I for instance, asked which birds would be on the wish list of someone visiting Peru, and what criteria birders use to generate such wish list.

'Keep your eyes to the skies and look out for bull dust ! For those of us in the northeastern United States, this winter has been rough. Even if you snapped enough Snowy Owl photos to make a bird-a-day calendar, you’ve got to be sick of the excessively frigid temperatures and relentless precipitation.

'At this time of year in Broome there are thousands of migratory shorebirds along the shores of Roebuck Bay and in the township itself and along Cable Beach. They have been here for several months and are currently changing into their breeding plumage and fattening up. It won’t be long and we will watch them fly off into the sunset as they make their journey north to breed.

'Those of you that pay attention may have noticed that I haven’t been posting my rambling and incoherent thoughts much lately. In fact, I had, and still have, a half finished post on the absolute delights of birding the amazing island of Borneo in Asia. It’s sitting in my drafts folder, over a month after I started it, and will stay there a while longer before I inflict it on the world.

'This past Saturday, 8 March, was perhaps the nicest day of 2014 so far in New York. The sun shone all day and the mercury reached fifty degrees Fahrenheit, which is only slightly above average for this time of year but felt like a heat wave considering the frigid temperatures we have endured this winter. Fortunately for me, Seth Ausubel, my frequent birding buddy, and I had decided to spend the day out in Suffolk County on the east end of Long Island looking for birds.
