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?
White-breasted Dipper has to be my number one bird for 2016 and it is quite simply a beautiful little bird that we had never observed in the UK! So, that is my top ten for 2016 and I hope that you all had some great times birding this past year. I would like to wish you all good health and good birding for 2017.
Thank all that is good and holy in the world that the abomination that was 2016 is finally in the books. Here’s hoping that 2017 is a much better year than 2016! All of 2016 only netted me one new species for Queens, a Greater White-fronted Goose. I failed to do so in 2016 and that really sucks. Who knows?
” Budgerigar (Ayers Rock, Australia, Dec 2016). Long-tailed Broadbill (Nabang, China, Mar 2017). Rainbow Lorikeet (Brisbane, Australia, Dec 2016). Superb Fairywren (Brisbane, Australia, Dec 2016). Black-winged Stilt (Nanhui, China, May 2019). Almost abstract bird patterns. “You`re so juvenile!”
The year 2016 has been a pretty good year. Here’s hoping your 2016 was as full of great birds as mine was. And here’s really hoping that your 2017 is also full of great birds. Winter birding around New York City was just so-so but I did add one species to my Queens list. Or at least written on a blog. Or something.
2017 – 12 March. 2016 – 18 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. 2015 – 28 March.

It was the month of March, 2017, when I went to Lake Cuitzeo to check up on our migratory waterfowl and shorebirds one last time before they travelled north to breed. Back in 2017 I was shocked to find only 15 ducks over the course of the morning, when I had hoped to find hundreds, or even thousands. This was once my lake.
While I am not going to post all twelve, here are my favorite 6 images ( including the feature image above) from the first 10 months of 2016. Least Grebe. Varied Bunting. Mangrove Warbler. California Quail. Tri-colored Heron.
Many sad and unfortunate things occurred in 2016, but the birding was good. I think this might be my best bird of 2016. The Cory’s was one of my birding goals of 2016, one of the last commonly seen birds of the East Coast needed for my ABA list. (10) Bring on 2017! It was a good birding year. 3) Greater Adjutant.
In September of 2017, Puerto Rico was hit by two powerful hurricanes: it was grazed by Irma and then clobbered by Maria, a Category 4 storm that cut a devastating swath across the island.

The year 2016 is done and gone and 2017 beckons us onward, bright and new and shiny, hopefully full of birds. Here’s hoping everyone has a wonderful 2017, full of amazing birds and experiences.
Will there be more in 2017–more birds, more places, more friends? Did you see enough birds this year? Do you see the ones you wanted to see, in the places you desired to visit, with the friends whose camaraderie you appreciate?
In 2016 we obtained tour operator license in Ecuador and since then we are organizing birding tours in Ecuador. December 2017, Ana (his sister), came also to help him manage the hotel and tour operator! The post Las Terrazas de Dana Boutique Lodge & Spa appeared first on 10,000 Birds.
Therefore, this year’s goal is simple: In 2017, I want to enjoy birds as much as possible. I was able to maintain the new structure in the 2014 list , and this was a mighty fine birding year in all aspects. However, I started to fail in the following year, and my blog post on 2015 is still – to this day – incomplete.
First, Carrie won the 2017 CDS Documentary Essay Prize for Writing , awarded by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University for her essay “ The Wrong Place.” Next, she went ahead and won the 2016 Shirley Jackson Award in Short Fiction.

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. 2016 – 18 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.
The methodology section is detailed, but the highlights are that the survey was conducted online, and more than 33,000 birders completed at least part of the survey, which was conducted in 2016-2017, long before the COVID-19 pandemic. (I To a layperson such as myself, the methodology appears fairly rigorous.
#313 – Greater White-fronted Goose , 21 February 2016: I don’t know how I didn’t see this one coming. 314 – Sooty Shearwater , 13 May 2017: Yes! 315 – Western Tanager , 25 November 2017: I’ve been predicting one of these since 2010 and it finally came true a mere seven years later.
Covering 1,261 species with data and taxonomy current up to August 2017, the field guide is an exciting achievement. Birds of Central Americ a is, of course, more current than Peterson , but both incorporate the major taxonomic splits of 2016. Reviewing it also brought up some questions, which will be explored throughout this review.
We have done some bush-walking this week around Broome as the weather permits, but still no luck with finding any Snipe species for the 2017 list ! Our best observations of Jack Snipe were in dull weather at the Canal Scrape Hide at Spurn Bird Observatory on October 7th 2016. The weather may have had something to do with that!
You can see the oddly coloured bird in the header photo on December 29th 2016. By January 15th 2017 the Greater Sand Plover had a completely pink bill with no evidence of it ever being black.

2017 – 12 March. 2016 – 18 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. 2015 – 28 March. 2014 – 29 March. 2013 – 24 March.
Once we observe these species we will add them to our slowly growing list for 2017 ! The area is renowned for rarities blowing in and October 2016 was no exception.

In 2016, the Shanghai Wildlife Protection Management Station started the search for one, though progress has been slow. In any case, both birds seem to be better choices than the Oriental Magpie, which received the largest number of votes in a public survey in 2017. I would like to introduce two candidates, a bulbul and a parrotbill.
I discovered that it had been ringed on 26 September 2016 at Iken, on the River Alde on the Suffolk coast, so almost exactly four years before my sighting. 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.

Comparing the results from 2015/2016 with 2017/2018, CSR is actually up two points across all regions. While figures from the Incentive Travel Industry Index show that inclusion of CSR in incentive events is lower overall than last year, the 24-month scenario and regional story are quite different.
