I wonder what he would have made of the extraordinary peregrinations undertaken by this species in 2021, with birds turning up well north of their usual range in an event the American Birding Association has coined – with hashtag – #spoonbillsummer?

These people are overwhelmingly undereducated (and I don’t mean formal education) males, although occasionally you’ll find a comparable female going along for the ride (think Sarah Palin – no relation to Palenville, although for this particular event the nearly identical name is both handy and appropriate).

Mid-June may be the most perfect time of year, offering maximum nice weather with minimal catastrophic natural events. Of what he did see, a pair of Bald Eagles at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge was the highlight, a species that didn’t used to be around in June in Queens at all. Even the birding is decent. How about you?

The only type of “white doves” capable of surviving an event release are white racing pigeons, technically known as “ Rock Doves ” (Columba livia). Wildlife rehabilitators constantly receive lost racing pigeons who are starving, riddled with lice, and suffering from coccidia, trichinosis, or worms. Blow bubbles, people!
