In the right season, with a little luck, we often find it, and sometimes it perches high and long enough that we can admire its scimitar of a bill, its stern face pattern, and even the patch of rusty red on the undertail that gives the species its English and its scientific names. Wicked, right? at Princeton University in 1990.

I held him a minute so he could look around, then I slowly opened my hands and after a few seconds he flew off and went right to a tree trunk and started acting like a wild woodpecker. The first thing he did was to greet the flock that was resting on the sand, then he turned right around, took a long bath, and went back to them.

Think of your favorite horror film: A brutal ruthless killer is on the loose, slashing hapless innocent victims to death right and left.

Ridgway, born in 1850 in Mr. Carmel, Illinois, was a boy many of us would recognize; all he wanted to do was bird. That’s a photo of Ridgway’s office on the right, fifth floor of the South Tower. And, draw birds. And, identify the birds he saw and drew.

Years later, after he had gone off to teach at Northern Illinois University and I had gone off to teach at the University of Texas at Arlington, we discovered that we had a shared interest in animal rights. Mylan worked in epistemology. I worked in ethics.

Of course, if you are an average birder in, say, Illinois or Alberta, you probably haven’t lost too much sleep over this group, in spite of its difficulty. All right, I’ll admit that I do have a bit of fondness for our resident empid species. Small, grayish, with indistinct wing bars and eye rings.

Birds and airplane compete for right-of-way at Sky Harbor Airport and Seaplane Base (image by Donald Emmerich, Wikimedia Commons). Another researcher, from the University of Illinois, asserts that the bugs need to be worked out of these systems before they’re cleared for widespread use. The damage to the plane, that is.

Consumers are right to be wary; rBGH threatens to undermine the safety of nature’s most perfect food. Such hormones may increase the risk of breast, colon and gastrointestinal cancers, according to a University of Illinois study. Dr. Miller’s argument distracts from the real concerns over rBGH.

We were walking through a field of dry grass in a Hamilton County park, looking for sparrows and pursuing three Bobolinks when we flushed a Yellow Rail , literally right at our feet.

Avery’s trip through Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York holds more promise. It is correct, of course, to think of extinction this way during the Holocene Extinction, which we are living through right now. I enjoy stories of naturalists on the road and I think other birders do too.

Then again, why would anyone name a bird after a botanist, let alone one I only just made up right now? In the right light, the male Common Pheasant can look ridiculously attractive.

Also on the boat was a familiar face, Nathan Goldberg, a young hotshot birder from Illinois who went off to Cornell and has been birding New York State like a man possessed. I would have loved to be more social with such an enthralling bunch but I honestly did not have the energy to handle both being friendly and not crying from pain.
