So, let’s talk more about the Harris’s Sparrow. This big, chunky sparrow is one of Canada’s few endemic breeders (Wikipedia says the only one, but I trust Cornell more.) It is the largest of the Zonotrichia sparrows, with little cousins including the White-throated, White-crowned , and Golden-crowned Sparrows that already occupy my life list, and the Rufous-collared Sparrow down in Mexico and points south.

Many viewers were moved by Dodge's Superbowl commercial "So God Made a Farmer." This rich parody, God Made a Factory Farmer , dispels the myth of the family farm in a humorous, but accurate way. Very funny and so true!

Somehow Baby always knows when something in the mail is for her. When our Pawalla box arrived, she couldn’t sit still! She wanted to see what was inside, and she wanted to see it NOW! As you can see, it’s a large box, and it was full of all kinds of great things to try. Baby’s favorite was the toy, but she has been enjoying the treats and food as well.

With spring just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about how you can attract all creatures great and small to your garden. Doing so can take time and effort, but once animals see that a place is safe (and has a regular food supply) they tend to keep coming back year after year – so with a bit of work this spring, you could end up with friends for life!

“Nay, I’ll have a starling shall be taught to speak nothing but ‘Mortimer,’”: – Henry IV, Part 1 And with that line from the great bard, an entire continent’s avifauna was thus affected. As the story goes, way back in the late 19th Century and organization called the American Acclimitazation Society was working hard to introduce every one of the 600 species of birds mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays to North America.

I can think of so many more interesting things to think about than the weather, and yet one cannot contemplate a winter weekend without checking the forecast. You lucky souls in stable climes don’t know how good you have it, always being prepared for what the weekend holds. Those of us in the path of the massively hyped Winter Storm Nemo have encountered a somewhat predictable season so far, but will likely give up birding for shoveling this weekend.

Every year from around January through the end of March, Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park comes alive as water levels throughout the park drop and force birds to concentrate around more permanent water sources. Well known to tourists who visit the trail by the thousands every year to see their first wild alligators, the site is generally passed off by the serious birder as having little potential of seeing something truly special — just close views of herons, egrets, and ibis.

Conservation was in the news again in the last few weeks here in New Zealand, and unfortunately not in a good way. The subject is one that comes up a lot in this blog and other bird blogs, the subject of cats and their effect on wildlife. As most people know cats, both feral and domestic, have a pretty big impact on wild birds and other wildlife, and the effect of mammals is particularly profound in New Zealand.

Ron Dudley is an amazing nature photographer who is based in northern Utah. Since he retired from being a high school teacher in 2003 he has really focused on getting amazing images and his blog, Feathered Photography , is loaded with them. (Seriously, click on through and see some amazing images.) To me, two things really set Ron apart from many other nature photographers.

We all know how worked up waterfowl can get in suburban settings. These feathered thugs sulk around scamming bread from naive children and despoiling innocent golf courses. Swans are the ones we usually look out for, especially since they can and will kill a man when the murderous mood strikes them. But Canada Geese can be brutal too, as can their domestic (or ganky ) kin.

One of the perks of visiting Florida in January is that it’s a chance to see some birds that are absent in Minnesota like the Tree Swallow. Though this flashy bird is relatively common, they demand your attention when they are in their large communal roosts. Much like a murmuration of starlings , these large flocks of birds can put on quite a show as they find a place to sleep or roost during migration or winter.

The Nature of the Meadowlands is a celebration of an environmental success story. I think every naturalist in the United States knows the outlines of this urban tale: The pristine marshes of New Jersey are poisoned by pollution, toxic waste, pig farms, and probably every single way in which human beings can destroy the environment. Traveling through northern New Jersey becomes the subject of jokes and the cornerstone of disparaging remarks about the state, reaching its zenith in The Sopranos , w

I am a groundhog. That is, I was born on the oddest of holidays, Groundhog Day, which means that this weekend is my birthday weekend. And having a kind and loving family I was given a wonderful gift for my birthday, a full day’s birding! And being a New York City dweller in winter with a full day available for birding meant, what else, a run out to the eastern end of Long Island for seaducks, gulls, and, sparrows.
