'Bird feeding is a major industry. Lots of people do it, birders and non birders alike. It’s a wholesome activity that grandparents share with the kids. Parents are encouraged to do it to introduce wildlife to children. We have citizen science projects like Project Feeder Watch headed by Cornell Lab of Ornithology. This past winter was very good for the chance to see boreal owl species in the United States.

'Where the Americas have hummingbirds, the Old World has sunbirds; brightly coloured jewels that flash in the light. The males often wear showy colours which makes identification straightforward while females tend towards the dull and difficult (my non-birding, proof-reading wife has just suggested that I change that last sentence, but you know what I mean).

'Here in the United States, April 15 is Tax Day, which means that countless Americans have toiled through the last 48 hours to prepare their taxes. Some are surely at it still. What a way to ruin a weekend! With the foresight to get my taxes taken care of early, I was free to enjoy the cold spring weather and lingering winter species around here. It’s nice to see that Red-breasted Nuthatches still haunt my home turf.

'Erika Zambello is a self-proclaimed ’new birder,’ still equally excited by Robins, Blue Jays, Mergansers, and Flamingos alike. She has lived in Maine, California, France, New York, and currently makes her home in Washington, DC. Always bringing her camera along, Erika is building her life-list by trying to check off at least one new species each week in her field guide.

'European Starlings count as much as any other bird on a big year. Now seems like a good time to look in on the birding big years happening in 2013 to see how folks are doing as they tear around their county or region or state or province or country trying to see as many birds as possible before 1 January 2014. Since the initial post on 2013 big years I have learned of several more people attempting big years this year.

'Years ago it was pointed out by somebody, probably Tinbergen or Lack or Wynn-Edwards or one of the other great bird-savvy ethologists of the day, that young Pelicans would blackmail their parents by biting their own wings, a very self defeating activity for a bird with a huge and powerful beak. “If you don’t feed me right way, I’m taking off this wing and your reproductive success is done!

'These “allegedly artsy” Golden Eagles courtesy of Corey. … to perils associated with mankind. To wit: A ruling by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service caps at five the number of Golden Eagles that members of the Hopi tribe can collect from neighboring Navajo lands. The permit allows the Hopis a total of 40 birds that may be sacrificed for use in religious ceremonies.

'One of the things I love about paying attention to what birds are doing is the odd behaviors you notice and have to try to figure out. A recent encounter with a female Pine Warbler was one such opportunity. I was at the Oradell Reservoir in Bergen County, New Jersey (the northeasternmost county in New Jersey for those keeping track at home) and the woods were busy with Palm Warblers , Yellow-rumped Warblers , and Pine Warblers.

'Today, I defend my thesis. In that light, I am looking at this debut novel from the guy who got his MA in Creative Writing in 2010 — yesterday, in terms of the slow grind involved in publishing a book — and seeing the future, perhaps. Snapper is a novel built from stories — no doubt at least some of them are the stories that Brian Kimberling sweated out in grad school.

'The family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers, are found only in the New World. We’re truly lucky we have them if for no other reason than to point at them as holder of some of the most difficult identification challenges on the continents. Sure, Old World Aquila eagles are hard, and the warblers are near-impossible, and the less said about the many splits of the gull formerly known as Herring the better, but in the battle for birder supremacy Team North America could always point to the

'I will never tire of banging Kaikoura’s drum as the best place in the world to see albatrosses, and since albatrosses are the among the best birds in the world it amazes me that none of you have made it out here yet (actually, some of you have, per some of the comments, but Corey hasn’t). Actually, even I don’t get there as often as I’d like, but I managed to take some friends to visit on the Easter long weekend as part of their ten day visit to South Island.

'March is the month when everything generally bursts into life, migrants start arriving and by the end of the month everything in the British garden is looking rosy. Even in the north of the country we can expect three or four species to arrive by the end of the month, generally Sandwich Tern, Northern Wheatear, Sand Martins and the first singing Chiffchaffs.

'Late Saturday morning our little family had to decide what it was we were going to do. The day, while not beautiful, was at least moderate, which meant we would be going outside. We hadn’t been to an ocean as a family since we were in California back in December so we decided to head out to Nassau County’s Point Lookout, which is nicely situated on the west side of Jones Inlet.

'We have finally arrived back home in Broome, but before we left Karratha in the Pilbara region of Western Australia we were lucky enough to see our first Banded Stilt Chladorhynchus leucocephalus for 2013. It is a species very rarely seen in the north, though they do wander and can show up in a variety of locations. They are generally found in large open shallow saline water and our encounter was on the coast right near the township of Karratha.

'The American Bird Conservancy announced a new study that feral cats prey on the endangered Hawaiian Petrel. At the risk of sounding insensitive, duh. Scientists might find it more challenging to seek out evidence of which bird species, particularly non-Arctic, island-bound species, are NOT preyed upon by birds. That would be news.

Just about a month after the first day of spring, my part of the world is finally achieving a vernal vibe. But we field phenologists look for other signs of spring than rising temperatures. What sign of spring will you be looking out for this weekend (assuming you’re in the Northern Hemisphere)?
