The Great Blue Heron nest camera at Cornell’s Sapsucker Woods had essentially been the typical nest camera. Bird lays eggs, sits on eggs, etc. That changed in the early morning hours when a Great Horned Owl decided that, well, watch for yourself! Wow! a.

Here's a horrible listing of films and shows that resulted in the abuse or killing of animals, starting with an elephant execution in 1903. Disgusting and stomach-turning.

Barbets are a group of medium sized, chunky, generally colorful, frugivorous, hole-nesting near-passerines, that are popular targets for anyone birding in the tropics. They occur in three biogeographic regions; the Neotropic, Afrotropic and Indo-Malaya ecozones, basically tropical South and Central America, Africa south of the Sahara and tropical Asia.

I am so sick of the feral cat colonies that infest so many locations that I like to bird. And while I am sick of the cat colonies I am even more sick of the deluded people who believe that by feeding feral cats they are somehow helping them. Outdoor cats live short, ugly, violent lives. They get hit by cars, suffer from parasites, predated upon by coyotes, and die from disease.

Yesterday was a public holiday in Austria and we had decided to take a drive out to Lake Constance / Bodensee to see what we could turn up – given that migration season has just started to kick in and we had had a dramatic turn of weather (fresh snows), we had high hopes for something spectacular turning up. My unharnessed imagination was dreaming of Terek Sandpipers ( Xenus cinereus ), an Iberian Chiffchaff ( Phylloscopus ibericus ), or a Pallid Harrier ( Circus macrourus ), maybe even a

Since 2006 a pair of Bald Eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) nesting at Turtle Bay in Redding California have successfully raised a dozen eaglets! The past three years the eagle pair dubbed Patriot (the male) and Liberty (the female) have been watched by thousands on an EagleCam installed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). This year when the pair returned to Turtle Bay, they decided to build a new nest in an adjacent tree.

Early April is a special time for most, especially those of us in the Northern Hemisphere that love each emerging sign of spring. The month and this particular period is all the more auspicious for me and mine, as so many friends and families celebrate spring birthdays. Today happens to be mine, so send some cheer my way! My family took our annual post-Easter Egg hunt hike at Powder Mills Park, where I spied several gorgeous matched pairs of Wood Ducks along with lots of different woodpecker sp

We can start first with what catbirds are not. Catbirds are not the unfortunate result of unwise experiments with radioactivity. Catbirds are also not the result of unholy intercourse between avians and felines. They are not flying cats nor birds with whiskers. So what are catbirds? Catbirds are a group of rather distantly related species all named for the fact that they make sounds that remind some of a cat meowing.

In New York, as is the case across most of the area where the “eastern” wood-warblers migrate, there are four species that are almost always the first to appear. Palm Warblers , with their tail-pumping and low-foraging habits, tend to get much of the attention. The Louisiana Waterthrush announces itself with loud chip notes and a clear song.

There cannot be many ABA area breeding birds harder to get than those that only breed on the remotest tips of the north of North America and then fly off to places that aren’t on the major continental flyways. One such tricky bird is the Bristle-thighed Curlew , a species that complicates the matter by looking suspiciously like the common or garden Whimbrel.

On our recent trip to Sydney we explored several areas that were easily reached by public transport & we discovered that there are some great walk trails that start near train stations. There are two good day walks that start at either Berowra or Mt Kuring-gai train stations and they can be done in either direction. If you need supplies there is a supermarket close to Mt Kuring-gai station, but as it is a small station not all trains stop there!

First of all: SWALLOWS. I have been watching for their arrival all week. Yesterday, there were none. Today, Tree Swallows are here, flashing light and dark above the river. Now, let’s back up. Last week was spring break at the University of Montana, and so, for me, a chance for a brief flying visit back east. Though spring migration is only just starting to ramp up there, of course I had to visit the Ramble.

On Wednesday morning I had a meeting in Bayonne, New Jersey for my job and as is my wont I left my house in Queens early to beat the traffic and therefore found myself with a little over an hour to kill before my meeting. Rather than do my usual stroll on the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway by the Bayonne Golf Club I thought I would try someplace new that John had recommended and made my way to Bayonne Park on the west side of Bayonne, on the edge of Newark Bay.

I am not an ornithologist but this albino finch got my attention. I suspect that it is an incomplete albino since there is some pigmentation near the face, beak, and feet. I suspect that this finch belongs to the Woodpecker family from the shape of the beak but I welcome any other comments. I first saw it on the ground along with some male Medium Ground Finches , and then he fled to the nearest tree while the other birds flew further leaving him behind.

Forest Park, Queens, New York, April 2008 On Thursday, a day that I didn’t have to be at work until noon, I, of course, got up early and took a stroll through Forest Park. Well, I didn’t really so much as take a stroll through Forest Park as I took a stroll to the water hole in Forest Park and sat and looked at the birds. Then I strolled to the area with some bird feeders and sat and looked at the birds.

This month they are trying to raise awareness and funds to help end the suffering of animals in Dharamsala, India – please visit them on Facebook to help them reach their goal. Many of the dogs are sick, injured, or starving. These stray dogs are also without vaccinations, making them easy targets for contracting rabies.

Daisy and I took advantage of her spring break and one of my precious vacation days to spend the day birding in the Adirondacks. Normally students on spring break wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from the bright tropical sun in some place like Cancun. Not Daisy. She wore sunglasses to protect herself from going snow blind. It was a wonderfully warm day for the middle of March in the Adirondacks, meaning it got into the forties on the Fahrenheit scale.

Wood-warbler mania has taken over my brain leaving me unable to do much but look for wood-warblers, dream of wood-warblers, and devise plans as to how I can see more wood-warblers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that this time of year I am pretty much a one-trick pony, a single-track record, a birder stuck in a gaudy rut full of wood-warblers. (See, even my metaphors make no sense this time of year!

April may be volatile, but this month offers plenteous pleasures intermingled with its abundance of showers. Was T.S. Eliot being sarcastic when he penned the line, “April is the cruellest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land… ?” As far as I’m concerned, watching spring advance one bud, blade, and bird at a time makes for a very good time.
