Joshua Malbin has been birding in Brooklyn, NY for more than 10 of his 15-plus years doing it so far. He’s been working as a writer and editor for almost 20, and has contributed fiction and nonfiction to more than a dozen online and print journals. He cohosts the independent comics review podcast Comics for Grownups and has self-published a novel about water wars in the western U.S.

If you are a birder and can’t help but put most or all of your results into eBird , then you are no doubt birding somewhere today, May 13th. Global Big Day is finally here and thousands of birders around the world are marking the date by identifying birds at favorite local patches, backyards, national parks, and wherever else they happen to focus on the avian side of life.

Birders of the world, this is your time. Migrants are still on the move, which places us at one of our annual peaks of avian observation excitement. Within a month, your odds of a serendipitous songbird encounter will decrease dramatically, at least until the next migration. So gather ye migrants while ye may! I’m working this weekend but will make every effort to get out to catch the back half of what is still an active stream of migrants pouring through Rochester en route to the great bo

Global Big Day 2017 is in the books, with 15,954 participants submitting 40,698 checklists to eBird accounting for 6,068 species … so far. What a weekend for birders all over the world. I hope you were able to be a part of the festivities. Despite poor conditions, I was able to add a few FOY migrants on Global Big Day, including a snazzy Cape May Warbler (like this one ) at Cobbs Hill Park.

What does the average person go looking for, in a new place to live? Close to schools, grocery store, a nice neighborhood, all things well worth considering. None of those thing in fact, even came into consideration during our search, when my wife and I started looking for our next residence. Granted our requirements are a bit unusual, now that we are transitioning to our new abode.

Over the weekend, a fellow naturalist friend of mine came to visit the Florida Panhandle from the Big Bend’s Cedar Key. We spent a day on the beach, a morning on Turkey Creek, and took walks around the neighborhood. She is an expert identifier of marine invertebrates, sea grasses, and reef fish, but is just beginning to learn birds. I love hanging out with new birders.

Birders, it is time we banded together. For too long the scourge of spring migration, the blight of Big Days, the bane of birding, has afflicted us. Mid-May is the best time of year for birding.* Sadly, the greeting card industry, flower shop proprietors, and chocolate makers have conspired to deny us half of the best weekend of the year for birding.
