White-tailed Lapwing by Jochen Roeder Duncan made a surprising choice: While the twitchers might have gone with the lost Emperor Penguin that washed up in June , my heart belongs to another. White-tailed Tropicbird by Nathan Swick Renato chose an impressive parrot: Birding is a wonderful experience in itself.

My personal favorite is the night image of a White-crowned Sparrow beginning a night of migration, the sparrow’s usual bright white-and-black head and brown-patterned body muted by the inky blue darkness, the bill pointing upwards towards the stars. As I said before, the page design is impeccable.

We tend to think of seabirds as mysterious long-winged creatures that spend their lives flying over oceans–phalaropes, noddies, skuas, jaegers, auks, tropicbirds, penguins, albatrosses, storm-petrels, petrels, shearwaters, diving-petrels, frigatebirds, gannets, and boobies.
