I started to learn how to tell waders (and gulls) apart only when I locally ran out of other hard bird groups to tackle. The game-changer was the new scope, Swarovski 25-60×65 STX , which truly allowed me to follow those tiny tracks in the mud. And it wasn’t so long ago. When there was hardly much else left, I accepted the shorebirds.

The small group was a good counterpart to the large, convivial ABA Safari group of 98 birders. That’s a lot, and the organizers of the safari did an excellent job of creating an environment that offered small group birding during the day and a birders party every night. I am a birder, after all.

I was on New Jersey Audubon’s Grand North Dakota birding tour this past July, driving along dirt roads through the prairies of western North Dakota. I wanted to see prairie birds and I wanted to experience a new state. I love sparrows, so seeing a feather-worn Vesper Sparrow this past July filled my heart with joy.

It was my second field guide, and I quickly gave it that worn look I imagined all “real” birder’s field guides had by dropping it into the creek at Allaire State Park in New Jersey (by accident!). A guide that feels so right in my hands? It’s a question many of us are grappling with. ” Thank you, David Sibley!

This bunch of possible Costa Rican crypto birds can be grouped into four main categories: (1). Based on even more recent recordings, it seems that the birds in Costa Rica can probably be placed in the Mangrove Rail group. Two of those vocal groups are shown by birds in Costa Rica and neither of those are heard in South America.

I grab my binoculars, camera, and field guide and drive 2-and-a-half hours to southern New Jersey.
