She walked in pregnant. But she never walked out. The cow moved slowly—belly full, lungs straining. Workers shouted. Shoved her toward the kill floor. They stunned her. Slit her throat. Hoisted her by her hind legs. Her body swung, limp. Then—a twitch. A tiny calf, still curled in her womb, kicked. A worker sliced her open. Pulled him out.

The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) is also called the “magic valley” – but not for the reason you might imagine. Although it is one of the birdiest places in the US, its moniker refers to an early marketing scheme to bring Midwesterners down south with the lure of snow-free winters and year-round farming.

It is hard not to be excited about a species also known as the “Phantom of the North” This air of mystery is also present in the scientific name Strix nebulosa (nebulosa means misty, cloudy, dark). It is a large owl, though most of it is air and feathers (see here for an illustration) – despite a length of about 70 cm (the longest of all owl species), it only weighs about 1.

To start, some general information on the difference between pigeons and doves: there is none, at least not in a scientific sense. Both terms describe the same family of birds, and there is no clear rule as to why a specific species within the family is called a dove or a pigeon.

What is your favorite bird species? I don’t have a favorite bird species, but if I had to choose, I’d say Antbirds, Antpittas, Woodquails, and other birds of the tropical understory have something truly fascinating about them. Their survival strategies and the ways they communicate have captivated me since my early days as a guide.

I am not a very good birder. No, let me correct that, I am not a good twitcher. When I embarked on my Big Year Rotterdam I took on a role to the far left of my comfort zone. Silly, I know. Twitchers – as we all know – are willing to leave family, job and an acceptable social life for the pursuit of ticks.

The flock of Great Bustards (pictured above) took to the air because a juvenile (Eastern or Iberian) Imperial Eagle flew over them. The bustards can weigh up to 14 kg, so they are not the eagle’s normal prey. That bird had much more to learn about hunting. The eagle was one of 12 raptors that we saw on our day of birding in Castro Verde and the Guadiana Valley region in Alentejo, Portugal.

What is your favorite bird species? Rather than one favorite, I would say I have a joyful passion for the New World wood-warbler family members. Lucky me, I grew up along a prime spring and autumn migration flyway region of the Midwest, so detecting more than 20 or more (or 30!) was not an uncommon option during the peak periods of their dispersal and migration.

Yesterday morning a thunderstorm woke me up at 530 am. A second one, at sunrise around 8 am, confirmed what I had been expecting for a few days. There would be a fall of migrants. I rushed off and spent the day seeing a spectacle that I have been observing for a few decades now. The trick is to be ready for it and so you are not caught out.
