What do you do when you – a citizen whose rights are protected by the U.S. government – are threatened with harm and/or death by armed criminals, and their apprehension is beyond the scope of the local police? You call the SWAT team. This is what we need for birds, whose rights as government-protected species are violated every day by free-roaming cats.

Birds are a subset of dinosaurs (See: Honey, I Shrunk the Dinosaurs. Prior to the extinction of all of the other dinosaurs, resulting from a cosmic impact event about 65 million years ago, the ancestors of modern birds were different from modern birds in many ways, but also similar in many ways. Many of those similarities were features that were actually found among many different dinosaurs, and used in ways that modern birds probably don’t use them (see: Birdish adaptations in dinosaurs: Aerost

It was birdy this morning on the banks of the Hudson River in lower Manhattan. I’d seen nine warbler species, Baltimore Orioles , a brilliant Scarlet Tanager , and what seemed like dozens of catbirds when an odd warbler caught my eye. The mystery bird looked something like a male Blackpoll Warbler in alternate (breeding) plumage, but it was yellow and black instead of black and white.

Tropical Storm Ana is the second earliest tropical storm to ever hit the Outer Banks. That’s interesting from a weather point of view, but not so good when it coincided with my graduation birding trip. Yes, I had officially graduated from the Duke Nicholas School of the Environment, and I was not going to let a little rain keep me from birding!

Kingbirds are named for their aggressive nature. A Kingbird will defend its territory and nest against all predators, even to the point of “riding” the back of a flying hawk or crow, all the time pecking the back of its head 1. I witnessed this myself as a Western Kingbird ( Tyrannus verticalis ) that was possibly nesting in the bottom of an Osprey nest atop a soccer field light stand, took off after one of the Osprey nestlings on its maiden flight out of the nest.

The splendors of spring migration, much like any inundation of sheer bliss, cannot be enjoyed without reservations. No matter how happy, how breathless, how driven we are to live these special moments to the hilt, one part of our perverse brains refuses to give over to ecstasy. Instead, it antagonizes us with petty worries. The biggest offender right now, even as you stand knee high in splendiferous songbirds, is likely this one depressing thought: migration may almost be over… Corey’

Memorial Day weekend offers Americans the best of two splendid seasons: an unofficial start to summer while spring migration is still flying. And we get three days in our weekend to celebrate. Live it up! Of course, some of us work on weekends, which means I can’t go as far afield as I’d like. Corey, on the other hand, is leaving all his professional cares behind as he takes to the Delaware coast.

“Think of the amazing repartee. If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals, Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals, And they could talk to me!”. (From the film version of Doctor Dolittle ). If you’ve ever wanted to understand why warning calls by one bird species seem to spread rapidly, like an avian version of the Wave , to birds of other species, Professor Erick Greene from the University of Montana is your man.

Like 13,000 plus other birders around the world, I watched birds on May 9th and submitted the results to eBird. Although I could have spent a morning birding at one of my favorite sites in Costa Rica, I couldn’t just settle for that. No, instead, I had to do a Big Day because it was too good of an excuse not to! Well, that, and the fact that my previous Big Day attempt in 2015 got rained out.

Cusco Birders. in-country Champions. Photo: Nestor Ccacya Baca. Ebird has hit something big. With the successful first Global Big Day the application of simultaneous count to help understand bird populations on multiple scales has a new meaning. I am not an avid eBirder and my checklists submitted to eBird don’t add up to a dozen. But the idea of a Global Bid Day sounded like a good excuse to go out birding on May 9th and make my day’s list count.

On a recent afternoon’s visit to Forest Park’s famed waterhole the birds were coming in frequently and in abundance. In the one hundred and six minutes I spent at the waterhole seventeen species of wood-warbler stopped by for a drink or a bath. The eight or so other birders who were also enjoying the show were gobsmacked, flabbergasted, and just plain old amazed.

Although we have now returned home to Broome and beautiful hot dry weather, which we were really missing the last few weeks, we were able to take a coastal walk together just before we left Melbourne. With only a few days to bird together before we came home we had to ignore the weather and head out wrapped up and hope the promised wet weather would not catch us out!
