Some birds are too cool for just one name. Others have names that give us pause because they don’t seem to describe, to convey, what that bird is really all about. And then there are the names that are just too damn long, especially for the size of the bird. Try taking field notes on Common Tody-Flycatcher and Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant and you will know what I mean.

The Osprey ( Pandion haliaetus ) at Anderson River Park in Shasta County have been nesting atop a soccer field light stand for over 17 years. The problem is that they build the nest right on top of the field lights. This becomes an issue when, every four or five years the light bulbs need to be replaced and the nest can be destroyed in the process.

The spring before you may not resemble the one you’ve been pining for these last several months, but don’t tell that to the birds. Despite the lingering snow and frigid cold, my neighborhood is abuzz with more clicks, whistles, and whirrs than a toy factory. Grackles know what time of year this is. They’re not alone, so keep your eyes open.

I often like to have a pair of binoculars with me when I’m going to or from work, in case something good gets reported that I want to stop off and see. But my standard binoculars, ten-power Swarovskis, are a bit big and heavy for me to want to lug with me every day to work, especially considering that most work days I don’t end up using them.

Those of you unfazed by March Madness or still sober after the ritual Wearing of the Green might have noticed that this weekend served as the last of its season. Did you make the most of it? I had to work all weekend but managed to chase snow birds on Friday morning. I might have missed out on those buntings I’ve been hunting, but lots of Horned Larks made up for the loss.

The Sooty Oystercatcher Haematopus fulginosus fulginosus is present in an area along the coast of Western Australia roughly south of Carnarvon and to the north the Sooty Oystercatcher is the sub species Haemotopus fulginosus ophthalmicus. We rarely encounter family groups of Sooty Oystercatchers Haemotopus fulginosus ophthalmicus at home in Broome, but more commonly we encounter a flock of approximately thirty non-breeding Sooty Oystercatchers at the northern end of Cable Beach.

Yes, I know: I went out of my way to avoid the predictable Guinness review before Saint Patrick’s Day last week. But while that holiday has come and gone, 2018 remains the bicentennial year of the first export of Guinness to the United States, an anniversary the brewery is commemorating with a special release of Guinness Draught in cans decorated with its famous Guinness “Zoo” advertising art from the 1930s.
