With nine years of experience using it and birding with beginning birders, I would like to update that opinion. This is, in a way, no surprise since it was designed by birders who have used their own experiences in the field to determine what warbler seekers really need. This is a guide for all birders.

Good field guides to bird sounds are certainly available, particularly Nathan Pieplow’s for eastern and western North America.) Boston, New York. It’s not a field guide, as such. But to fully understand it, to be able to “read” it – well, that’s either impossible, or else takes years of dedicated ardor and study.

Though its native range in the United States was just the southwest, the House Finch is now the most familiar pink finch in North America. I spotted my first Common Redpolls way back in February of 2006, when I had been birding for less than a year and was still living in Albany, New York. House Finch.

A professional hawkwatcher for many seasons, his passion and knowledge saw him invited to join the board of the Hawk Migration Association of North America in 2013.

A pretty major front was supposed to make its way over New York City in the wee hours so we decided to play it by ear and call each other early in the morning and figure out if the weather would be decent enough to go out at all and, if so, where we would go. Once Seth was in the car we had to decide where, exactly, to go.

Looking down on the Hudson River from 212 feet in the air is an experience worth having and there is plenty of time to look down at the river or at the gorgeous views in every direction on the 1.28-mile mile long walkway. How historic is the bridge? The Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge is a remarkable achievement, first proposed in 1855.

Consider Estero Lagoon for example… In North America there are nine regular plover species, ten if you include the more vagrant Common Ringed Plover. This is an endemic breeding bird in North America and much is now being done by various federal and non-profit groups to ensure and foster its conservation.

New York City apartments don’t allow feeders to be hung from fire escapes (though I know certain birders that skirt that rule), and it wasn’t until I had already been birding for four-and-a-half years that I obtained a small yard in central New Jersey in which I could place a feeder or two or three. I came late to bird feeding.

I haven’t yet been birding in Europe but whenever I occasionally skim a field guide about the birds on the other side of the Atlantic, I’m always encouraged to find that I’m already familiar with many species found over there, even though most of my birding experience has been limited to eastern North America.

(Famously, the Blackburnian was the spark bird for notable birder Phoebe Snetsinger; it was also the spark bird for my friend Marylee,) Without warblers, migrant hotspots like the Ramble in New York City’s Central Park would be empty in May.

Birding opened up Central America for me in a way that nothing else did. Perhaps you’ve had the same experience. Once you understand the mind-boggling biodiversity of the area beyond toucans and parrots, you realize how special Central America is.

Jochen Mar 7th, 2011 at 5:51 pm Redgannet, almost all song birds at least in North America (and the Orange Thrush sure won’t be the only old world bird to have them, too) have these filamental plumes on their nape.
