A quick search turns up the National Audubon Society page from 2008 along with pages from the American Veterinary Medical Association and Bob Bird’s run for US Senate in 2008. We are grateful for inclusion in the collection, particularly because this legendary repository of information is appallingly light on birding sites.

I’ve lived in Queens since March of 2008. Over three hundred species of birds have crossed my field of view in Queens in that time including thirty-eight thirty-nine species of shorebird. Why is that thirty-eight crossed out? Because I finally saw a Buff-breasted Sandpiper in my home borough! Buffies are a very fine shorebird.

It was June 14 in 2008, when we stopped by the dam for a nice walk after lunch with family in the mountains. It can be during migration, in an enormous nesting colony, or with a very gregarious species. And the number of House Martins was pretty damn impressive. This picture just doesn’t do justice, as it’s a bit zoomed in.
