That means that as of right now the yardstick I am holding does not exist because there are no yard sticks that are zero long. That will be much better, right? Besides, suffering brings birds, right?

In " Move to Limit 'Factor Farms' Gains Momentum " in today's New York Times , we learn that farmers in Ohio have agreed to phase out gestation crates within 15 years and veal crates by 2017.

Over the last five or six years, Common Ravens have been sighted with increasing frequency in New York City, part of a resurgence throughout the Northeast after more than a century of regional extirpation. They’ve also recently nested in the Bronx and nearby in New Jersey. But let’s back up for a minute.

This past Saturday afternoon I was out on the beach in the Rockaways with my family. Royal Terns are interesting to me as a New York state birder as they are exclusively coastal and almost entirely a bird we see in fall after they disperse from their breeding grounds. Why do Royal Terns come north to New York waters every fall?

Three months of non-stop morning sickness left me drained, and I cancelled planned trips to Texas and New York, where I would have added a plethora of birds to my year list. Birding even close to home didn’t even appeal to me, as the extra movement added to the dry heaves (pregnancy is super fun, am I right ladies?).

Now that I live in New York City I rarely manage to make it that far north and when I do it tends to be winter, which is kind of odd. My string of winter-only visits to the Adirondacks is over now, happily, because of a three-day weekend with the family in Montreal. After all, it was only a couple of hours north of my house.
