AUGUST 4, 2013

I know that families in the United States are already fretting/anticipating September’s arrival. Now that we’re later in the season, they are grouping either in family clusters or anticipation of migration. Another long, lovely summer weekend has slipped into history. Midsummer will be giving way any moment to late summer.

I’m looking forward to a fun weekend of family and friends in an area where I should see lots of terrific forest birds. Corey will be enjoying city birds as he escorts family around town. Everyone I know in the Northern Hemisphere is either traveling or receiving visitors this weekend. Travel safely! How about you?

Though Corey originally picked a Field Sparrow at Edgemere Preserve (like the one pictured above) as his Best Bird of the Weekend, an afternoon outing with his family back to Edgemere Preserve so Desi could chase after crickets and grasshoppers led to his revised Best Bird of the Weekend, a fortuitous find.

But a family hike on Sunday at Doodletown led to his first Cerulean Warbler of the year and there are very few birds that can top a Cerulean Warbler. Seriously, sexy migrants are flying fast and furious in Ohio and the event has just started! How about you? What was your best bird of the weekend?

My family already boxed a bushel and look forward to much more. If you subscribe to the maxim that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, you’ve probably been miserable about eating the dregs of last year’s crop as part of your daily health maintenance routine. How do you like them apples?

He and his family will be in California, where he has his eye on a few West Coast species that have thus far eluded him. My choice is always to allow my kids to bask in my fatherly glory, so I’ll be birding wherever I can bring the team along. Corey will do the same, but from a different coast than usual. How about you?

I’m fortunate to be spending the weekend entertaining family, which means I’ll be enjoying birds at all the local tourist attractions! Perhaps the two don’t go hand in hand in your mind, but many Americans relate the extended Independence Day weekend to a higher level of satisfaction and pride in country.

Together, these birds compose the family Alcidae , and they share adaptations that we recognize as penguin-like: an upright stance on land, black-and-white plumage, and — most important — wings that propel them underwater in pursuit of prey ( see them in action here ). © David J. See Cairns et al.

Tropical Kingbird is likely to be one of the last birds I see in 2012 and first I see in 2013. December 25th is possibly the worst day of the year to be posting a blog, because lets face it, even the dispensing of wisdom from the world’s leading birder (past, present, and future) can compete with family duties.

Red-billed Curassow ( Crax blumenbachii ), a large, ground-dwelling bird belonging to the same family as the more familiar Plain Chachalaca of southern Texas, was never a very widespread species. In 2013, Dalcio Dacol and I paid a visit to this reserve as part of an independent, month long birding trip in southeast Brazil.

In fact, if I remember correctly, it was 2013 when I first noticed (from an office window) a huge collection of sticks at the crown of a large immortelle tree. This extremely vocal member of the vireo family utters its rich warble incessantly from sun-up to sun-down but it rarely makes itself visible.
