September 2017, Cerrado, Brazil. It didn’t occur to me till I started reading The Falcon Thief: A True Tale of Adventure, Treachery, and the Hunt for the Perfect Bird that there was also a possible threat to the eagle herself: poachers, who steal raptor eggs and chicks. We are cautioned to keep the location of the eagle a secret.

In 2017, my neighborhood, Aldea de Santa Fe, began a Juniper Titmouse Nesting Box Project in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s NestWatch Program. But a Bewick’s Wren did build a nest, which it promptly abandoned before laying any eggs. A total of 79 fledged, which beat our 2017 count of 52.

Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was any of the five Atlantic Puffins he saw on Eastern Egg Rock off the coast of Maine. Instead, I lucked into the best sighting I’ve ever had of a male Mourning Warbler in the same spot. He’ll be sure to share pictures once he’s back home and has access to his computer again.

And colorful eggs. For many people around the world, the coming weekend carries spiritual meaning, symbolic of rebirth and renewal. And chocolate bunnies. And lots and lots of birds. Celebrate your way! I have much to celebrate, as my family and I are embarked on a Spring Break sojourn to Panama by way of Canada.

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. Greater White-fronted Goose. A bird I predicted and it ended my longest slump ever of not adding a new bird in Queens, over a year!

So on Sunday morning he looked at Big Egg Marsh, which has a larger amount of saltmarsh habitat. Dutifully, Corey headed out to Dubos Point, where there is some nice saltmarsh habitat, on Saturday afternoon and lucked into one Nelson’s Sparrow, but he didn’t get great looks.
