A couple of weeks ago a group of New York’s better birders were out birding in Suffolk County when one of the four found an interesting shorebird, one which she couldn’t identify immediately. For Pat Lindsay to not know what a shorebird is when she spots one in New York State is a very unusual occurrence and her three fellow birders quickly convened, figured out the bird as a quartet, and got the word out to the birding hordes.

The Rufous Hummingbird ( Selasphorus rufus ) visits my home every year about this time. Of course the males come first to establish territory. According to Macauley Library’s migration map the overwhelming breeding activity for this species occurs north of the state of California. The thing is, I have females that have been hanging around also.

Happy May Day! Here in New York City, May is a magic time for birders as the migration floodgates open. To celebrate spring migration, I usually review an exciting new bird book. But, this year I’m going to be contrary and give you moths! You can blame the nice people at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, who took it upon themselves to send me a review copy of the Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Southeastern North America by Seabrooke Leckie and David Beadle.

Every person’s calendar includes both busy seasons and fallow periods. Our calendar– the birding calendar –has just shifted into overdrive. In fact, some might argue that, on an international level, this weekend represents one of the zeniths of birding activity and engagement. Saturday, May 5 is Global Big Day , when eBirders around the world strive to collectively encounter as many species as possible.

Another weekend, another example of how volatile weather patterns have become. For example, we in Rochester have been assured that Wednesday will reach 80 degrees or so. Yet, we had a bit of snow yesterday! How wild was your weekend weather? These capricious conditions can’t be good for birds either. I dipped grievously this weekend on attempts at woodcocks and owls, including the bitterly brief Boreal Owl at Owl Woods.

This is a continuation of the story about landing in Melbourne, Australia, and I will cover our afternoon the first day and my visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens. If you have not read part one, it would be worth your time to do so, as there are some really great birds covered there. It just seemed wrong to post any stories about Australia without at least one Kangaroo, so on our second hike, those featured in the cover picture showed up on the edge of the forest.

One of the delights of the south coast of Western Australia are the beautiful blue seas and squeaky white sand. We have miles of white sand along the coast near Broome, but the sand does not squeak like the fine sand in the south. Between Walpole and Denmark there are some great walking trails with spectacular views and the photo above is from the Conspicuous Cliffs , which you can reach in a conventional vehicle.

Central America is much smaller than the land encompassed within the borders of Canada and the USA. After a brief look at a map, my rough guesstimate is that the territory from Guatemala and Belize south to the Darien gap is roughly equal to New England, or Florida and the eastern parts of Georgia and the Carolinas north to the Virginia line. Given such limited geographical dimensions, one might be tempted to assume that Central America is pretty much the same, that the region is fairly homogeno
