3 rd word, second syllable: A bird that breeds in Florida, the northern limits of its breeding range. You could be hearing this too if you are in eastern US, as far west as, say, parts of Texas and going north to approximately the Canadian border. It is a bird not often seen, it is a bird of swamps and marshes.

Since at least 2009 there has been at least one hypopigmented, or piebald, American Robin living in Alley Pond Park in my home borough of Queens, at least for the breeding season. It (or they?*) is assumed (confirmed?) to be nesting there each year but all I had ever managed were fleeting glimpses and couple of lousy photos.

All of these shots were taken in the late summer and fall of 2011. I hope you enjoy these images and that you managed to see some wood-warblers heading south as well!

It’s a bang-up breeding year for super-endangered birds! The species, which migrates from the Russian Arctic to Southeast Asia, is down to about 200 breeding pairs in the wild, due to habitat loss and poaching. For the past several years, getting the birds to breed has been an exercise in futility.

I can also monitor any movement along the coast during the year when they are no longer breeding.
