2013 Ducks Experience Species 
10,000 Birds

A Carolina Wren hopped cheerfully around my front lawn this weekend, establishing that species’ half-hardy credentials. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend wasn’t one bird, or even one species, but the hordes of ducks he saw at Baisley Pond Park in Queens. What was your best bird of the weekend?

I hoped to add the Carolina Wren that’s been hanging around my house to the tally, but settled instead for Northern Cardinal , the most common GBBC species at the midway point. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. The long-tails were a nice consolation prize. How about you?

Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend could have been either his first Harlequin Duck or his first Glaucous Gull of the year. But he really appreciated the Surf Scoters he saw at Shinnecock Inlet out in Suffolk County on Long Island on Saturday so he chose that species. What was your best bird of the weekend?

This leads me to my third twitch for the celebrated Falcated Duck ( Anas falcata ) at Colusa National Wildlife Refuge in January of 2012. In September of 2013 there was an Eastern Kingbird ( Tyrannus tyrannus ) seen in Redding, California, less than 30 miles from my home. This was a no-brainer. References: 1 Wikipedia.

Maharashtra, February 2013. The Little Egret walks in front of her, a dozen Lesser Whistling Ducks flies noisily low above water and through a flooded grass wades one Black-winged Stilt. She has grown up in the reserve and has no experience of the environment of which tourists would not be a permanent, however boring part of.

After lazing in the heat I decided to visit the forest pools one last time, hoping for another sighting of Hartlaub’s Duck or White-bellied Kingfisher. I even managed to shoot a video with hands trembling of excitement, probably a first of the species. I have chronicled the experience on my blog. Thainamu chose a snipe !

Over 3,200 photographs have been used, most showing species in their habitats. There is also text, distribution maps, a dark red bar “warning” about similar looking rare species, and conservation symbols. So, how do you find the species account for Kestrel if falcons are not placed between woodpeckers and parakeet?
