I know I neglected to ask you where you were birding this weekend, but don’t ever think that means I don’t want to know. Corey had a great Saturday morning on the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge which has still not filled back up after being drawn down for shorebird season this summer. So fire away!

The Latin species name hemilasius (half-hairy or half-shaggy) sounds less like a majestic raptor and more like a neglected hippie – but maybe this is deliberate, which I guess would make the bird a hipster. On Chongming Island, an Upland Buzzard seemed to be almost bemused by being mobbed by a single Oriental Magpie.

This time I’ll be working with Wildlife ACT in Zululand, helping that NGO monitor wildlife in a range of reserves and parks in the east of South Africa. I bring this up not to boast (well, not much) but because I think that this approach to wildlife travel is somewhat neglected in birding circles.

This is done by rescuing animals and wildlife, rehabilitation, preventing cruelty and also by providing animals with medicine and treatment. They also have the power to prosecute those who neglect and are violent towards animals. The RSPCA is one of the best known charities setting out to help animals.

A large and striking bird like this would be hard to neglect in a museum collection. Guans have also been introduced in the Laquipampa Wildlife Refuge. Some remained stored for decades before a researcher would pick them up and inquired about these poorly documented specimens. Four of the introduced birds have bred in the wild.

I am often guilty of neglecting “place&# when birding. What events transpire miles away that make a certain destination attractive to birds and wildlife in one way or another? Why is a particular destination better than the next for certain birds? These are questions that I feel we as birders need to ask ourselves more often.

After we got back to the cars everyone pulled chairs out and sat down for a cup of tea (I had neglected to bring some but was not to go without thanks to the hospitality of these fine people). I talked to an American visitor from Hawaii who had brought his wildlife-mad son along.
