2011 is about to become 2012 and birders the world over are taking a look at their year lists and reminiscing about the awesome sightings and devastating dips that they have experienced. This year I watched them from the day they arrived , until two chicks successfully hatched, the northernmost breeding record for the species.

The public comment period on the Kentucky sandhill crane hunting proposal ends AUGUST 1 2011. One was “Superdad,” one of the few successful breeding whooping cranes in the entire eastern population. Could Ohio lose its entire pioneer breeding population? The proposal now goes to the U.S. Please act now. What if they’re shot?

Every spring the wood-warblers come north bedecked in breeding finery and every autumn they head back south again in more muted colors. 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!

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.

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.

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.

There are two Painted Bunting populations, one that breeds along the Atlantic Coast from North Carolina to Florida and one that breeds in the interior United States and northern Mexico from southeastern New Mexico to western Mississippi. The Atlantic Coast population lingers on the breeding grounds after nesting to molt.

The Osprey is one of the true cosmopolitans of the avian world, found on six continents and breeding on five. It’s not that they’re some special, rare endemic that would readily symbolize our own unique little mountain valley. Because the stadium is by the river. And Osprey love them some nest platforms.
