By Julie • March 14, 2011 • 18 comments Tweet Share ACTION ALERT! Tomorrow, MARCH 15, 2011, is the deadline for public comment on a proposal to hunt sandhill cranes in Kentucky. Initiating a hunting season on a large, charismatic species like a crane is no way to resuscitate hunting. Sandhill Crane Hunt in Kentucky?!

There’s a new proposal before the American Ornithologists’ Union’s North American Classification Committee to split Painted Bunting into two species (yay! — maybe, more later) and to name the new species “Eastern Painted Bunting” and “Western Painted Bunting” (no!). Photo by Andy Morffew.
The photo above is a breeding-plumaged Myrtle Warbler by Kelly Colgan Azar. 2011), which was previously assumed to be geographically restricted to Mexico in the black-fronted warbler. 2011; Milá et al. 2011) and where there is no observed break in nuclear markers across this zone. So Toews et al.
These species are not only beautiful or charming, but have a personal resonance for me. Around 2011 or 2012, I discovered an online forum of a rather select group of Mexican birders. I now suspect that this species is often a possibility for Lake Cuitzeo during the month of May. Perhaps my first convert?

We observed far fewer Lesser Flamingos, a near-threatened species. And then there were the Flamingos.
Greater Adjutants are huge birds that were once widespread across much of Southeast Asia; today there are two small breeding populations in India and Cambodia. Finally, deciding that a duck that required 250 acres of land to breed probably did not welcome intruders, we tiptoed out of the swamp. 3) Greater Adjutant. 6) Garganey.
There’s some excitement in putting up feeders and in discovering which species are gracing us with big invasions this year (2011, Montana: Snowy Owls ) but much of the time its a slog. Cultures that experience it generally put a holiday of some sort at the end to motivate people to even bother living through it.
