'I don’t like to wake up if it’s still dark outside – I hate it! And here I am on vacation in Greece, turning off the alarm at 5.30 am – too early, as it will turn out, but I had no clue when the sun rises. At the crack of dawn, I am driving along sharp curves through the olive groves. I define the “crack of dawn” as that time when it’s already (almost) light, although the sun is nowhere to be seen.

'Podicipediformes, aka Grebes, are freshwater diving duckish birds that are not ducks. For an order they are neither diverse nor disparate. Twenty two species are distributed among six genera, depending on what happens to be extinct, and for the most part one grebe is like another. Also, Grebes share two characteristics that end up being bad news given the state of the planet we are in.

'I’m not an ornithologist. I don’t even play one on TV. Nevertheless, I was pleased to find myself at ornithological ground zero this past week, as the American Ornithologists’ Union and the Cooper Ornithological Society held a joint annual meeting in Chicago. Months prior, a call for volunteers had gone out to local birders, and I happily signed up for a few shifts.

'Around Broome we have several members of the Kingfisher family, with the most common being the Sacred Kingfisher and the Red-backed Kingfisher. They are similar in size, but the Red-backed Kingfisher is more often seen inland and not necessarily near water. The Red-backed Kingfisher hunts large insects and small reptiles and can often be seen perched on open dead trees.

'I’m wondering if Best Bird of the Weekend is too restrictive a way to consider the avians we encounter from Friday to Sunday. Of course we should seek reasons to celebrate every bird species we share our weekends with, but is the species that delights us most always the most memorable? Corey had a Best Bird of the Weekend or rather a pair of birds, Stilt Sandpipers , that plopped down directly in front of him while he was digiscoping a juvenile Short-billed Dowitcher at the East Pond of J

'There is a Trivial Pursuit question which asks the colour of a Bougainvillea flower. The answer caught me out first time round as I had mistaken the colourful brachts for petals. The flower is actually the tiny white bloom surrounded by the varied hues of the brachts. In Central and South America, they are part of the established ecosystem and play an important role, supporting the fauna of the region.

'I’m currently reading Roger Real Drouin’s No Other Way for a future review on this site. The novel centers on a quest to find and save the Northern Stilted Curlew, an Eskimo Curlew analog with an unfortunate taste for habitats that are about to be disrupted by fracking. The political and literary implications are many, but combined with my other recent readings, it spun my thoughts off in a strange direction.

'Wouldn’t you love to watch the sun go down at Cristalino Jungle Lodge in Brazil? Weekends come and weekends go. Don’t let this one pass without doing something special for yourself (or someone else). My weekend will be more for others as I work through a very busy time, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. Corey will still be trying to add the 300th Queens bird.

'And now we enter into a family of birds more or less unknown to non-birders. Destined to be forever written off as ducks which which they share an affinity with water and little else, or maybe coots primarily among those who may reside near large numbers of those squabbling, aquatic rails, or more likely ignored as they slink back into the vegetation to do their business away from lookie-loos and carriers of bread bags.

'Recently a baby was born in North Carolina with Trisomy 13, a chromosomal abnormality so severe most carriers die at birth. As the baby survived days, weeks, and months, his parents created an entire social media life for him, including Facebook pages, YouTube videos, and a gofundme site to help with medical bills. He became a symbol of overcoming the odds, with hundreds of thousands of people around the world donating and writing him internet messages.

'That flamingos and grebes are probably each others’ closest living relatives is one of the most surprising discoveries in higher-level avian systematics over the last 15 years. The diving, piscivorous grebes were usually grouped with loons. Long-legged, long-necked flamingos have over the years been grouped variously with storks, waterfowl, and the stilts and avocets.

'If I had my druthers I would be birding the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge pretty much every day from July until September. But, you know, job, family, and all the other responsibilities of being a social animal means that, at best, I get out onto the East Pond once a week to see what shorebirds are stopping over on their way to their wintering grounds.

'I often like to poke fun at how dangerous the wildlife of Australia is, as ever since the giant man-eating Haast’s Eagle went extinct the land life on New Zealand has been mostly harmless. But the thing is, while the animals may not want to kill you, it sometimes feels as if the land itself does. Not a few weeks after a decent sized earthquake struck the capital (as well as the poor town of Seddon on South Island), another large quake hit us.
