Jennifer Ackerman brings a sense of curiosity and wonder to her material, whether she’s interviewing evolutionary ecologist Christopher Clark about the mechanics of an owl’s silent flight or looking for Northern Pygmy Owl nests in Montana with a team from the Owl Research Institute.

Northern Flicker this species may well be, but Red-shafted Flicker is certainly more descriptive of the majority of the Montana population. No doubt dozens of descriptive, evocative, and hilarious handles for birds, some perhaps restricted to a single valley or even to one family, have been lost.

My best bird of the year was without a doubt the Montana Baikal Teal , a bird that combined rarity, beauty, and the good grace to stick around long enough for me to actually see it.

For the moment I’ll stick with the split babbler families although I may relump the laughingthrushes, ground and tree babblers per Molye et al (2012).

Can the whole family live together in harmony during the school holidays? Ruddy Quail-Dove – Geotrygon montana. Is it wrong of me to go birding to get away from the kids now that they are at home all day? August is the make or break month for relationships. Bravo if you have. Happy birding if you suddenly find yourself single.
