If you want to write a bird guide, you should have guided people yourself. Being a professional ornithologist and knowing your field well is great, but only after you try to pass your expertise to others in the field you do realise how insufficient some descriptions may be and what type of info visiting birders are looking for in a new country.

The first weekend of the tenth month of the year usually delivers in terms of birds, but you’ve got to meet them halfway. Did you find time to catch any avian action? I was thrilled to find more species than expected along the lake this weekend, especially a pair of foraging Hudsonian Godwits willing to be added to my county list. Corey got out birding a bunch around Queens this morning, trying to add to his burgeoning county year list.

Last week I wrote about my first experience with a new site that a friend thought looked promising when he saw it on Google Maps. My friend was right. I had such a good time there that I went back the very next week, to see what I could find by walking a bit higher into the woods.

Redgannet has dropped off the radar. His brief as “International Man of Mystery” has been altered to the more fitting, “That Bloke Over There on the Bike” The rest of the beats have been working hard to compensate for TBOTotB ‘s range restrictions and have made a fine fist of it, considering the circumstances. 11 beats collaborated to enter 163 checklists from 8 countries (UK, USA, Costa Rica, Australia, Serbia, China, Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago).

Some of you may well remember the quarry that I wrote about in October 2016. The remaining amount of water was really quite disastrous for the local bird-life. Each year is different and the last visit a few weeks ago there was substantially more water. Of course the water will have been evaporating daily, but it was more than appreciated by the local bird-life.

A bird of prey showed up in the tiny park across the boulevard from me yesterday, setting himself down on a park bench and ignoring a crowd of socially-distanced smart phone wielding photographers. He became the social media hit of the day: “A Peregrine Falcon in Forest Hills!” people proclaimed. “A Cooper’s Hawk named Sam!” my neighbor insisted. “No,” my birder friends and I chided gently, “This is a Red-tailed Hawk.
