I saw my first migratory Eastern Phoebe of 2017 this morning, 12 March, at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, thus kicking off spring for myself over a week early. As I have for the last several years, I will now ask the same question of midwesterners and northeasterners that I ask every year: When did you see your first Eastern Phoebe of 2017?
2017 – 12 March. 2013 – 24 March. As I have for years now, I will now ask the same question of midwesterners and northeasterners that I ask every year: When did you see your first Eastern Phoebe of 2021? And was it late or early? 2021 – 13 March. 2020 – 15 March. 2019 – 17 March. 2018 – 30 March. 2016 – 18 March.

Here’s hoping that 2017 is a much better year than 2016! I saw 425 in 2016, 510 in 2015, 560 in 2014, 517 in 2013, 529 in 2012, 375 in 2011, 601 in 2010, 609 in 2009, 313 in 2008, and 459 in 2007. Thank all that is good and holy in the world that the abomination that was 2016 is finally in the books.
These efforts appear to be paying off–most of the mature Verbesina plants on one of the atoll’s islands are history, and officials expect full eradication from Midway by 2017. Between 2012 and 2013, populations of Laysan and Black-footed Albatrosses at Midway reached near-record levels.
This time they appear more relaxed, but nervousness might be a better policy: between 2013 and 2017, well over a thousand rhinos were annually poached in South Africa. We are nearing the waterhole, and see the large oval shadow in the darkness: that White Rhino cow with a calf.
Therefore, I greatly expanded the structure of my year list in 2013 to include maps, statistics and a diary. Now, I really like the 2013 layout and am planning on keeping it, but I’ll make the diary shorter this year and will keep the list in chronologic order instead of systematic. This was fun. And a lot of work.
European Breeding Bird Atlas 2 presents information on all species reported to breed in the study period (2013 to 2017) and some with more uncertain breeding status. Original artwork illustrates all species with a full account. The text was written by 348 authors, while illustrations were provided by 46 artists.
Somehow I forgot that the last time I predicted what the next ten species I would see in Queens would be was back on 30 December 2013, when my list was sitting at 302. What did I predict back in December of 2013? Long-eared Owl, 3 Jul 2010, 25 Mar 2013. Long-eared Owl, 31 Oct 2010, 15 May 2012, 25 Mar 2013. Good times!
In the last ten years I have seen my first phoebe of the year on dates ranging from a 12 March (2017) to a relatively late 31 March (2010). 2017 – 12 March. 2013 – 24 March. And was it late or early? Though it took me until today to see my first migratory phoebe I did see one in Queens in January at Mt. 2019 – 17 March.
2017 – 12 March. 2013 – 24 March. Regardless, I was happy to see the tail-wagging harbinger of spring migration and I can’t wait for everything else to get back too! Below are my first dates for the last ten years if you are really interested in such things…. 2018 – 30 March. 2016 – 18 March. 2015 – 28 March. 2014 – 29 March.

Covering 1,261 species with data and taxonomy current up to August 2017, the field guide is an exciting achievement. of Texas Press in 2013 (I haven’t examined either title). Reviewing it also brought up some questions, which will be explored throughout this review. Press and Birds of Belize by H.
After being ringed my godwit (EY70 137) wasn’t seen again until 1 July 2017, when it was reported from Aldeburgh Town Marshes, not far from where it was first ringed. Very small numbers of limosa birds do nest in England, while a few islandica breed in Orkney and Shetland.
SMM: Tony’s self-imposed deadline for Downtown Project was January 2017. Editor’s note: Zappos introduced an experimental management system called Holacracy in late 2013 that essentially eliminates managers. He doesn’t comment much about it, but when he does he doesn’t admit its failures. Can you explain?
and of course visited several bookstores and noted at least five different field guides, including the massive identification guide I reviewed back in 2017, The Australian Bird Guide by Peter Menkhorst, Danny Rogers, Rohan Clarke, Jeff Davies, Peter Marsack, and Kim Franklin.

This all started way back in 2012 and several of us continued on in 2013 , 2014 , 2015 and 2016. The black-headed Gouldian Finches have remained in the same area feeding on the grass seeds with the other finches and were our 75th bird for 2017 and the male Gouldian Finch features in the header photo.

I didn’t know much about Birds of Paradise either before 2013, when I accompanied a non-birding friend to a presentation at a local college, not really expecting much.
