Then, in 2002 I went on my first safari in South Africa’s Kruger park. We moved to northern England, I watched birds. We moved to Hong Kong, my wife shopped and I watched birds. We moved to Malaysia, I watched birds and gained 10 kilos eating that gorgeous food. My friend Bas had brought along binoculars and a guidebook.
Nick Athanas, Iain Campbell, Paul Coopmans, and Richard White set the record back in March of 2002 in Ecuador and I can find no record of someone having topped that mark since. That made me wonder – what is the single day record for seeing the most species of hummingbird? The answer, apparently, is a whopping 41 species !

Pair of adult Egyptian Vultures in the Pyrenean stronghold. They had disappeared from 16% but new sites accounted for 24%.
The following maps I created on eBird show the dramatic growth in the spread of the Eurasian Collared-Dove from 2002 to 2014. This first map is data from 2002 through 2003. The northwestern spread of this non-native species made it to my yard a few years ago. Click on photos for full sized images.
This bird was originally banded in Roebuck Bay in 2002 and has used Cable Beach to nest for at least 12 years. Her partner from 2007 has disappeared and she is currently with a new mate, which was also caught and banded in 2002 on the same day… so they are old friends! Time will tell! Nest site with 3 eggs-one white!
Since 2002, the five most numerous species banded at the nets are as follows in descending order: Black-throated Blue Warbler, Ovenbird, American Redstart, Gray Catbird and Black-and-white Warbler. 2005 was a really interesting year with several notable rarities: Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher, Thick-billed Vireo and Townsend’s Warbler.
The talk described eBird’s origins in 2002 and traced its history as a project aimed at using “citizen science” to help researchers and conservationists learn more about birds. Steve Kelling from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology gave the keynote talk, “The Birder Effect: Birding, Science, and Conservation.” And at least on me, it worked.
Nature reserve since 2002. Natural Oak, Willow and Poplar forests as well as poplar plantations, wet meadows, marshes and dry grasslands are present. It is an important stopover site and wintering area that attracts the largest congregations of waterbirds anywhere in the country. Dubovacki Rit; photos (3) by Slobodan Puzovic.
The Wink and Heidrich paper ( Molecular systematics of Owls (Strigiformes) based on DNA sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene , PDF), as the title indicates, looked at the mitochondrial cyt b gene across about a third of living owls and found Snowy Owl sister to Great Horned Owl, concluding, “the taxonomic consequences would be to merge (..)
By 2002 we were seeing them a lot less regularly and the Double-barred Finch was the daily visitor to our garden instead. Of course we still have brilliant blue skies and 30c (86f) during the day, but the sun is setting at 5:20pm and the temperature soon drops off.
Between 1960 and 2002, more than 50 official documented records were recorded in Everglades National Park alone. From the information I was able to gather, the first record in the state of Florida was in 1953, although a previously unrecognized specimen was collected in 1892 from Key West.

(Wikipedia, everybody’s main source of scientific information, also lets us know that there is a Nicolas Huet, a French snowboarder born 22 July 1976 who competed in parallel giant slalom [whatever that is] at the 2002 Winter Olympics, where he placed 4th. My understanding is that the fulvetta is not named after him).
This opinion piece is from the Christian Science Monitor in 2002. It may be almost 7 years old, but I think it is as relevant now as it was then. Worth reading and, I think, some reflection.
On July 1st 2007 an egg was laid by a Pied Oystercatcher that was known to be an adult in 2002 and had been banded in nearby Roebuck Bay. A second egg was laid the following day and the two eggs hatched at the end of the month.
I was on my way to a White-necked colony in Ivory Coast in 2002 when a coup broke out and we had to reluctantly turn back, so finally seeing this bird was a dream come true for me, and what a show they gave us!
I worked as a guide and on macaw projects in Tambopata in 2001 and 2002 and the diversity is simply astounding. All the best, CK Pat ODonnell Mar 9th, 2011 at 10:03 am If you are a birder with the time to volunteer for this, apply for one of those scholarships!
It’s the one that arises when people use eBird without realizing that the Wilson’s Snipe was split from Common Snipe back in 2002, and trigger a rare bird alert by using the name of the Asian species for everyday American birds. Feature image by Tim Bowman, courtesy of USFWS.
Thus it was that in 2002 a re-introduction scheme successfully brought the Adonis Blue Butterfly back to the North Downs.

My personal favorites are three photos of the 2009 Cape May Ivory Gull. I saw the gull, it was an incredible bird, and I have my own photo of Kevin lying on the ground photographing the bird (probably not the photos in the book, I’m sure he took thousands of photos during the two weeks the Ivory Gull was at Cape May).
The Bald Parrot was only described as a separate species in 2002. Being closely related to the Vulturine Parrot , scientists believed that these birds were just juveniles of that species until specimens were captured and studied in the late 1990s. What other secrets does the Amazon still hold?

A flock of over 10,000 birds was present to the south of Broome in 2002 and the previous record number observed was 50,000 in 1985 on Roebuck Plains. They are presumed to breed in northern Siberia, but there has not been conclusive evidence as far as I know yet.

This line of reasoning also helps to explain why we recognize certain duties towards both men and animals, but certain others towards men only. For example, nobody would be thought to be oppressing animals because he did not allow them self-government; but, on the other hand, it is generally thought to be wrong to torture animals for fun.

You can’t pick up a magazine (we’re guilty) or attend a trade show these days without running into yet another discussion on the likes and dislikes of people born between 1982 and 2002 (the officially unofficial definition of millennials). Can we dial it back on the “what millennials want” talk? read more
