The Everglade Snail Kite Is Making a Comeback

10,000 Birds

'The critically endangered Everglade Snail Kite ( Rostrhamus sociabilis ) is making a comeback aided by an unintended introduction of an exotic snail. Over the last weekend, I was at Lake Kissimmee in Florida, observing Snail Kites at an area kites were not present or rare just a few years ago. Kites now nest there and are fairly common. The threat of extinction of such iconic Florida bird prompted State and Federal agencies to find solutions to stop and reverse the declining trend.

Pelican Release with International Bird Rescue

First, you get to tour one of their California centers , you get a special opportunity to see a Pelican getting its final medical exam and numbered leg band, plus you get the honor of releasing one, or in my case, two of their rehabilitated pelicans!

I and the Bird: What is a Swallow?

10,000 Birds

'If birders say they love birds ostensibly because they can fly and we cannot, then there must be no more beloved group of birds than the swallows. These aerial acrobats are among the most impressive flyers in the bird world, darting this way and that over open country in pursuit of flying insects. They’ve lived among us for millennia and we’ve appreciated their cheerful attitudes and unquenchable appetites for annoying pests , bestowing the friendliest among them with qualifiers lik

The Problem with Eagles

10,000 Birds

'So last night, for reasons that seemed good to me at the time, I decided to watch the pilot of the new Kurtzman/Orci show Sleepy Hollow (Mondays, 9/8 Central on Fox.) It wasn’t bad, if you like your horror with a wink and some eye-candy and a heaping dollop of good old-fashioned American cheese (and not so much with logic or historical accuracy.).

Sand Trap: Netting Red Knots for Science

10,000 Birds

'If you need to capture a bird for study or rehabbing, there are a number of tools at your disposal. You can use garden-variety butterfly nets or bigger, pool-cleaning nets. Mist nets are a popular strategy. I’ve even marveled at watching fisherman toss a huge cast net to secure a Ring-billed Gull with a bum wing (but with the ground speed of Usain Bolt).

Where Are You Birding This Last Weekend of September 2013?

10,000 Birds

'Keep your eyes to the skies for swallows… you know what they are , right? If you subscribe to the maxim that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, you’ve probably been miserable about eating the dregs of last year’s crop as part of your daily health maintenance routine. But nobody needs to gnaw on mealy fruit anymore now that apple season is sweeping the Northern Hemisphere.

The First Diabolical Wood-Warbler Quiz of 2013

10,000 Birds

'Can you handle it? It is fall, the time of year when wood-warblers are at their most difficult, and I have curated three images of wood-warblers for you to destroy yourself upon, pulling out your hair as you frantically flip through your field guides. The only clues you get on this quiz are that all three images were taken in Queens in the last two weeks and all three pictures are of wood-warblers.

Comb-crested Jacanas

10,000 Birds

'The Comb-crested Jacana Irediparra gallinacean is present in some of the ephemeral lakes around Broome in wet years, but can be absent for several years and then reappear. There are usually only one or two birds when they do venture into the southern Kimberley, but they have bred here in the past. The views are often distant and the flash of red in the sunshine is often the first observation you have and you have to be content with observing from a distance.

Winter Finch Forecast for 2013-2014

10,000 Birds

'Ron Pittaway has published his winter finch forecast for the winter of 2013-2014. Though Ron is based in Ontario his reports are eagerly anticipated by birders across the northeastern United States and eastern Canada because it takes into account a vast array of data to figure out which irruptive species might show up where. Below is a slightly elided version which removes some of the Ontario-specific information and leaves just the meat of the forecast.

California’s Autumn Seas

'Autumn, or fall, as Americans persist in calling it, is not a season I am experiencing at the moment.

For whatever reason, however, yesterday on my way to work my mind wasn’t with our upcoming spring, but with September’s in California.

A West Coast Seabird Refresher

10,000 Birds

'Birders. I’ve had the pleasure of being on a number of pelagic trips this year and I can tell you…ya’ll have a lot of work to do. Nowhere is bird misidentification more rampant than on pelagic trips. Some of them are quite novel…which is fine. Pelagic birding is often unpleasant and frustrating. If someone confuses a Scripps’s Murrelet (above) for a Common Murre and not a Craveri’s Murrelet (the proper misidentification, in this case), it’s not the end
