'Learning bird calls is essential to improve your bird watching skills. But sometimes it’s not a matter of learning different species, but learning the different calls of the most common species. American Robins have a distinctive territory song (sometimes sung at 4:30am much to the chagrin of those of us who like to sleep with our windows open).

'Splits, splits, splits. Birders, for the most part, love them. While many of us anxiously await the AOU’s decisions on some recently proposed splits (spoiler alert: I’m getting an armchair lifer and state bird in the form of a second species of Sage Sparrow ), we are always looking on the horizon for future splits…and their dreaded counterparts, the lumps.

'We here in New York City (and in much of the northeastern United States) are dealing with a pretty major cold snap for late May, with temperatures last night falling down to 46 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius). Strong wind and lots of rain has only added to the misery. As bad as a cold, wet, and windy Memorial Day Weekend is for people it is even worse for birds, especially species that rely upon flying insects for sustenance.

'No need to draw this question out. Many of us are still enjoying the final weekend of May, so let’s cut to the chase and talk about our best birds. Deal? My best bird this weekend was an Eastern Wood-Pewee calling from a bare branch. When it comes to New World flycatchers, empids tend to irritate me for the same reasons they irritate everyone, but species in the genus Contopus make me much happier for inexplicable reasons.

'The most widespread of all cockatoos in Australia is the Galah Eolophus roseicapillus and we have them here in Broome, though we don’t always see them in town. They are incredibly pink fronted with grey wings and you really appreciate the brightness of the pink when you see them alongside the more subtle Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo. The Galah varies in colour throughout Australia and the birds we have around Broome are much paler than the birds we observed in Queensland earlier this y

'Xena is a Eurasian Eagle Owl. Normally she would be living somewhere in Europe or Asia, but she was born and raised in captivity in the United States. She lives with her handler, wildlife rehabilitator Lisa Acton, in upstate New York. Lisa takes her to schools, fairs, and events, and together they show people why they should respect and admire the wildlife who live around them.

'Admittedly, This next I and the Bird doesn’t offer a ton for our friends in Europe and Asia and I apologize for that, but it’s hard to ignore those wonderful little Troglodytes.

'Mike’s comments regarding his recent stopover in Japan struck a chord that has been resonating within me for a week or two. Redgannet was originally conceived as a way to encourage my colleagues (in case you haven’t read the profile, I work as a flight attendant for an international airline) out of the shops and their hotel rooms to experience something that the local natural scene has to offer.

'Keep your eyes to the skies. Maybe you’ll get lucky and see the bird that may some day be called Pacific Fulmar ! What happened? I was just getting into the season, setting aside time to scope waves of wood warblers, when Corey offhandedly crushed my spring dreams just by saying, “Migration is over.” Is it really? Let me know if you’re catching any last vestiges of spring migration in your neck of the woods… Since migration is allegedly over, I’m going on str

'Now that passerine migration has largely wound down the attention of this New York birder has shifted to seabirds, shorebirds, and the occasional trip looking for breeding birds. One of my regular stops in late May and early June is Big Egg Marsh, a wonderful salt marsh just a short distance south of the much-more-famous Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.

'The room was dark, damp, cold, and smelled of peanut butter. Mark came awake on a thin mattress on a stone floor in an instant but had no idea how he had ended up in the room. He tried to sit up but discovered he couldn’t. His wrists and ankles were fettered and he had a splitting headache. Confused and scared, he struggled against his confinement and only succeeded in abrading his wrists and discovering that a thick, oily, substance was spread over much of his naked body.

'One brightly coloured male Common Redstart is patrolling a nearby hedge, while a pair of Common Ravens is circling the valley. Driving on a sunny May morning through meadows and vineyards takes me to the Mt. Fruska Gora national park. I pass the European Bee-eater colony, echoing with their bubbling voices and African-style colours. Fruska Gora is a low, forested massif – mostly oak, lime, beech, hornbeam and ash – situated in northern Serbia.
