Black Vulture - Despite a marked increase in Turkey Vulture sightings – nine since March of 2011 when I had my first in Queens - Black Vultures remain stubbornly absent from the borough (only two sightings reported to eBird in Queens since 2008).

A new species of barbet was discovered in 2008 in Peru by a team of ornithologists that were recent graduates of Cornell University. The new species is described in the July 2012 issue of The Auk.

And there it sat until 2012 when the Florida Ornithological Society’s Records Committee reviewed the status of several introduced species in 2012.** Though in 2008 the ABA changed Muscovy Ducks to “Code 2″ which was a reflection of the fact that the feral birds in Florida are countable.
The revenue-expenses divergence resulted in several years of negative net income, from 2008 to 2010. The 2011 , 2012 , and 2013 Financial Statements continued to note the increasing deficiencies and continued to state that the ABA had essentially the same plan of action as listed in the 2010 statement.

Since 2012, I was fortunate to spend a considerable amount of time birding through southern Borneo almost each year, and this new book meant that I now have four field guides for Borneo at my service. Birds of Borneo (2009): based on taxonomic order from 2008, with some changes due to practical reasons, review here. van Balen, N.

For more than 10 years during which the League for Ornithological Action has been following the Pygmy Cormorants in Belgrade, the maximum number was recorded in the winter of 2007/2008, when the population counted 6,750 individuals.
I was surprised, however, that there is no mention of one of the dark spots in bird feeding history, the highly publicized application of toxic insecticides to Scott’s Miracle-Gro bird seed from 2005 to 2008 and the accompanying falsification of documents to hide it. million by the EPA in 2012 and was sold to Global Harvest Foods in 2014.

Earlier, a large number of villagers were being killed by tigers: 11 in 2006, 13 in 2007 and more than 26 during 2008. In 2012, the Hindustani Times claimed that from January 2011 to June 2012, a further 9 tigers were killed in the Tadoba buffer zone.
The pair of Pied Oystercatchers have been successful in raising a chick on two occasions that we are aware of in recent years and that was in 2008 and 2011. In fact they were the only pair to successfully raise a chick in the 2008 season and only one other chick survived in 2011.
Richard Fried spent 2011 doing a New York State Big Year and managed to top the record of 350 species which was only set in 2008 by Scott Whittle. What was your biggest surprise in 2012?

We had not done “year lists” until we started here in 2012 , because a few other Beat Writers had decided to and really…why not! Once again for my Australian birds I will use the “Christidis and Boles 2008 key to species names” and list them in the order that they come on that list.
This all started way back in 2012 and several of us continued on in 2013 , 2014 and 2015. I have used “Christidis and Boles 2008 key to species names” until now, but due to the fact that it is not going to be updated into the future I will start to use the latest Birdlife Australia Rarites Committee list using IOC names.
This all started way back in 2012 and several of us continued on in 2013 , 2014 , 2015 , 2016. Well, another New Year crept up on us once again and once again I will commit to listing on the website! Just looking at everyone’s lists over the years you can see how varied our birding lives can be.
