In addition to spotting exciting new species in Florida, including the rare Snail Kite, travel across the country brought me into contact with birds in Oregon, California, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Alabama, and more. With my new job, I feel privileged to work towards protecting vulnerable species each and very day.

I was born in Minnesota. But my family moved to northern California when I was four years old, in 1962, effectively quadrupling my hummer list with the addition of the Anna’s , Rufous , and Allen’s Hummingbirds. Here in Morelia, it seems laughable that I once only had access to less species than I could count on one hand.

There are over 11,000 species of moths in North America. I have a hard enough time with the 1,103 bird species on the ABA Checklist. The Southeastern guide doesn’t; I imagine this was to save space in a book with 300 additional species. This is the first thing we learn in the Introduction of each guide. Let that sink in.

Nest at Blue Mounds State Park, Minnesota. There are other species of migratory birds that have a breeding population in the Neotropics and a separate migratory population. This summer the opportunity presented itself in the form of a family trip to South Dakota and neighboring states. Photo Alfredo Begazo.
