With all the crazy stuff going on in the world these days, I thought it would be nice to put a smile on some faces with some photos of some baby birds. Above are Oak Titmouse ( Baeolophus inornatus ) nestlings just hatching out. These little birds can be steadfast and obstinate, as is this female seen here incubating eggs. Most birds will fly from the nest when checking in on them, not these tough little ladies!

Pet loss is a hard subject for all pet parents, but it can be especially hard for children. Being Brave for Bailey is a sweet book that helps children prepare for and deal with pet loss.

It has been a long time since I’ve put up a diabolical identification quiz. Too long, in fact. In order to get back into the swing of things I thought I would start small, with just one image. Do you know what the bird in the image below is? If so, share your answer in the comments! If you get it right you be lauded by all of birder-kind and are guaranteed to succeed on your next twitch.

With its bright yellow eyes, and bold arrow shaped breast markings, the Gray Thrasher , Toxostomsa cincerum is one of my favorite photography targets. This relatively large bird, 10-11 inches, makes for a pretty easy identification with in its region. The size, larger down curved bill, and the fact that it is the only thrasher on the southern Baja certainly helps.

Way back in February when I was enjoying a family-and-friends vacation on New Providence in the Bahamas I wisely hired the best – and the only – bird guide on the island, Carolyn Wardle , for half a day to show me around some of the hotspots and help me find endemics and other species I wanted to see. Within ten minutes of picking me up Carolyn was pulling over on the side of the road at a completely nondescript spot.

Small, delicate, graceful, the Least Tern embodies all we love about birds and then some. Have you seen their chicks? Adorable. Every spring, we birders along the Emerald Coast wait for their arrival with bated breath, grinning from ear to ear when they patrol the beach once more, diving for food in the shallow waves. For me, that moment came last week.

This year has been a good year for me in terms of travel. Austria, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and a brief visit to California have kept me in new birds and it has been wonderful. But there is still little more in birding that I like than birding my local haunts and seeing what there is to see. At Forest Park on Good Friday I caught up to a Red-breasted Nuthatch and got to watch and digiscope it as it foraged through the understory.

The third weekend in April, when we birders in the northeastern United States start to go stir crazy, convinced that the wood-warblers should all be back by now and lamenting the species that we have not yet seen. Fortunately, we New Yorkers were blessed with a marvelously warm wind out of the southwest from Saturday through Sunday, leading to some seriously warm weather and nice pulse of neotropical migrants.

Over the past few months we have not only encountered some wet days , but also some days when we just had to get out there and explore the bush tracks. The birding has been rewarding as always and we have been able to add several birds to the 2017 year list that we may not see around Broome every year. The humidity has been very high until recently and not always ideal for being out for several hours at a time, but we have seen the some wildflowers that have been absent on drier years or in very

I went to Tortuguero National Park last weekend. Shortly after arrival, I saw a bird that had me yelling for Robert to come down from his room in the Casa Marbella and look in the scope. Knowing that I wouldn’t yell for him to come quick if we were seeing regular species like the endangered Great Green Macaw , toucans, or even a Bare-crowned Antbird , Robert wasted no time in racing down the stairs.

The story begins with a Prothonotary Warbler found in Brooklyn by Gabriel Willow, a NYC birder, on Wednesday, April 12th. A happy circumstance, but not an unusual one. One or two, sometimes even three or four Prothonotary Warblers show up in New York City every year, often in migrant hotspots like Central Park or Prospect Park, sometimes a little off the beaten path, like the Prothonotary Warbler that spent several weeks on the New York Public Library steps (two weeks before it was discovered b
