The places I expected ( Pillar Point Harbor in California and Ridgefield NWR in Washington) are right at the top of the list, but even places I thought I’d been to countless times have modest numbers.

Phoebe, Liam and I went down to work (and play) in January 2011 at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival , and it was the highlight of our winter. Gaily color-banded, I’ve no doubt each individual is well-known to science. Get a load of the mandible on the granddaddy skimmer to the far right. But here you go.

Phenology is a vital science. Yes, it’s vital to leash your dog and teach him to be respectful of wildlife, but if you can manage that, he will make a phenologist out of you. Among other things, it has provided some of the earliest and most compelling evidence for global warming. But good phenology is hard.

That’s what you do with other game, right?

of Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jon Gassett has indicated that if enough people write in protest, the proposed hunting season–due to start this December– will be reconsidered.
