He and his friend Seth did find one good bird at Jacob Riis Park, a continuing Cattle Egret , which is common across large chunks of the world but was only Corey’s sixth sighting in New York State, with the fifth having been the same individual bird during the week last week. How about you?

Until recently the cattle that grazed here were tethered, but they are now allowed to range freely, and by doing so they have opened up the marsh considerably, creating fine habitat. My photograph ( below ) was taken in 2016. The marshes were looking as good as I have ever seen them. Brown bird, brown background.

India was not on my list of places to go in 2016. Then, we became birders again, noting Common Mynas and Eastern Cattle Egrets on the terraced lawns, Yellow-footed Pigeons, European-collared and Red-collared Doves in the trees bordering the garden squares. I had not planned on birding India in 2016, but I’m very happy I did.

For these reasons alone, after this successful nesting, we wanted to expand the number of artificial burrows available to the owls for the 2016 nesting season. This property is also a site with vernal pools and uses cattle grazing for vegetation control. The other two tunnels dead end inside the nesting chamber.

Beset by poaching by cattle ranchers, habitat loss, DDT, and lead poisoning (from consuming shotgun pellets embedded in the condor’s carrion fare), populations of this enormous New World vulture fell into a serious decline in the twentieth century. By any measure, the recovery of the California Condor has been a remarkable success.

Some of you may well remember the quarry that I wrote about in October 2016. Cattle have been in the area and so there will be small remaining pools from their hoof prints if rain does not come to the area soon just like last time. The remaining amount of water was really quite disastrous for the local bird-life.
