'On my first day in Florida for the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival I landed at Orlando International Airport at about 9 AM, deplaned, waited for my luggage, got my rental car, and drove west. Wait, west? Observant readers who are familiar both with the geography of Florida and the location of the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival know that the festival is in Titusville, which is east of Orlando.

'If you are honest, you probably have to admit that on at least one or two occasions, you found yourself wishing your dog could speak. Although true canine lovers become quite adept at understanding what type of bark indicates which need or want, let’s face it, it would be much easier if our pets could simply communicate their thoughts with different words, just like we do.

'The Yellow-rumped Warbler ( Setophaga coronata ) complex is one of the most abundant and widespread representatives of the New World warbler family in North America, present in many parts of the United States even through the winter months, when the birds feed on small fruits and other foods, including sap. There are four generally recognized groups within the complex, “ Myrtle ” ( coronata ) of eastern and northern North America, “ Audubon’s ” ( auduboni ) of the

'If you’re like many Americans (or foreigners keen on seeing what passes for entertainment among Yanks), you’ll be spending Sunday evening parked in front of your TV. No, not for Girls or Downton Abbey , but to watch some of the funniest, tearjerkingest, dumbest, and most expensive commercials on TV all year. All of which will be interspersed around a certain “big game” that most media dare not name, for fear of getting sued by the National Football League.

'A male Belding’s Yellowthroat. Hecho en Mexico. What better way to start the year than with a visit to Mexico? Especially if you can fit in some birding? Many gringos make their way to Baja California Sur every year, although the majority are probably heading to Cabo San Lucas to party and test the human limit of tequila endurance. But others actually do some birding, and they paved the way for this Great Ornithologist to do a little bit on a recent vacation to Todos Santos.

'This is not a review proper, because — full disclosure — playwright Justin Maxwell is a friend of mine and a somewhat better friend of my boyfriend. I never would want to be accused of log-rolling. Nevertheless, I cannot in good conscience keep this play from you, my beloved readers. Feb. 6 – 23 of this year marks the opportunity, for those of you in or near New Orleans, to see Maxwell’s critically lauded absurdist play “An Outopia for Pigeons” at the Shadowb

'Watching Humboldt seabirds on the cold waters off the coast of South America , I noticed that of them dive for their fish/food. Small birds will take shallow dives with little or no head start (terns and some gulls) whereas other will take impressive head starts for deeper dives and generally larger fish. Peruvian boobies were, without a doubt, the plunging champions featuring long head starts and insanely fast plunges into the Pacific Ocean.

'Continued from: Calilegua National Park Birding Trip Report. We started our drive towards J.V Gonzales and decided to follow the locals advice and took the shorter route going through secondary roads. We used our GPS to guide us towards J.V Gonzales and had a nice but bumpy ride. This road trip took us south-east moving away form the mountains and to lower flat land which had been converted to farmland.

'My part of the world and many others still anguish under the icy rule of the polar vortex. What good, though, is a polar vortex if it doesn’t come attended by polar birds? Where, I ask you, is my Ivory Gull ? For fortitude, I meditated on the Ring-billed Gulls that fly unfazed all around Rochester in any season; unfortunately, pondering common gulls might have made my mood even worse!

'The video above showing the pair bonding and precopulatory behavior of the Northern Shoveler ( Anas clypeata ) was shot from the photography bind at Colusa National Wildlife Refuge , one of the refuges of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Northern California. The head dip and up-end and the wing flap displays are courtship and bonding behaviors whereas the head pumping display you see in the video is considered a precopulatory behavior.

'So much for not killing the messenger. This past weekend at the Vatican, Pope Francis delivered an annual address appealing for global peace. With the help of two children, he released two all-white doves. To Christians, the birds represent peace, but to a gull and a crow, the birds represented lunch. (Image by Gregorio Borgia/AP). A Hooded Crow and a Yellow-legged Gull attacked the doves, which seem to have escaped a few feathers lighter.

'At this time of year in Broome there are often Swinhoe’s Snipe present at the Poo Ponds, but they are elusive and they did not make it onto my 2013 list. I did have the pleasure of finding a Latham’s Snipe in Queensland on February 14th 2013, though and a pair of Painted Snipe near Broome on August 4th 2013. I started well in 2012 observing Swinhoe’s Snipe at the Broome Poo Ponds on January 3rd and I was hopeful of finding one again this year.

'This will be a brief post. I write this shortly after getting home from Florida, my four-year old just fell asleep, and I am soon to follow him to dream-land. Though, considering how many good birds I saw at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival , you could say that I just left dream-land behind for the cold and snow-covered northeast. I saw or heard a total 0f 147 species in my six days in Florida, including two lifers and one new bird for the ABA-area.
