The year 2016 is done and gone and 2017 beckons us onward, bright and new and shiny, hopefully full of birds. As birders we love the turn of the calendar as it allows us to start a new year list and take stock of the previous year’s sightings, twitches, dips, and photos. See one for yourself at the top of this post.
He had better luck on Sunday, seeing a host of autumn migrants including his Best Bird of the Weekend, an Orange-crowned Warbler at the Queens Botanical Garden that he spotted just before the NewYork City Audubon bird walk he led.

The survey also sought to identify “the key attributes important to birding experiences” and learn more about “decisions to participate in birdwatching and level of identity as birdwatcher.”. Nationally, most birdwatching occurred in California (9%), followed by NewYork (6%), Texas (5%), Pennsylvania (5%), Florida (5%), and Ohio (4%).
I had an amazing birding year in 2017 with tons of travel , lots of amazing birds , and some truly memorable experiences. But 2018 is a whole new year and calls for all new goals. I have similar goals to last year’s but with some new twists. Can I see sixty percent of them in one calendar year?
Corey spent Saturday journeying back to NewYork from the Bahamas and most of Sunday recovering. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. Fortunately, before he left he saw some great birds on Friday. Of them, his third Thick-billed Vireo of the trip (and ever!)
Of course, snow and cold still dominate upstate NewYork, but beautiful, belligerent Blue Jays don’t much care; some have lingered throughout the dark months, but fresh reinforcements have arrived to stake out territory.

Research experiments are described without citing the names of the researchers themselves or any other background information. I also would have liked more specific information on the studies themselves–authors, years, where I can read them. This is a beautifully designed book. The Pieplow titles will help you identify a bird sound.
Corey did not see a ton of great birds this weekend but he did get to share some of them with beginning birders, as he led walks at the Queens Botanical Garden and The Cemetery of the Evergreens for NewYork City Audubon.

So consider stacking one more resolution onto the 2017 pile and share your best bird every weekend either on our blog or our Facebook page or even your own site or social media.

The birds are instantly recognizable to anyone who’s birded NewYork City: Mourning Dove, Rock Pigeon, Cedar Waxwing, Brown-headed Cowbird, American Robin, House Sparrow, European Starling. Charlesbridge, 2017; Boardbook edition, 18 pages, 7 x 0.5 It’s a very specific illustration. Author Mya Thompson has a Ph.D.
Less and Gilroy sort through the exogenous (external) and endogenous (internal) factors thought to cause vagrancy and the scientific experiments that have sought to prove their significance with patience and plain language as well as charts and photographs. It’s not always easy reading.
NewYork City apartments don’t allow feeders to be hung from fire escapes (though I know certain birders that skirt that rule), and it wasn’t until I had already been birding for four-and-a-half years that I obtained a small yard in central New Jersey in which I could place a feeder or two or three. I came late to bird feeding.
The food was better than decent, which exceeds our experience of Panamanian cuisine at most other locations. Radisson Summit Hotel and Golf Panama really serves a superior birding experience, just by nature of the amazing forest surrounding it. Better get moving… we expect you in NewYork in a couple of months.
I started the year in Florida, traveled to India with the ABA in February, combined family and birding in an August trip to California, and in-between saw very good birds in NewYork and New Jersey. There is no experience comparable to birding a dump, and, I have to say, I have never experienced a dump like this one.
My own birding experience in upstate NewYork this week was much more mundane, with dwindling numbers of Blackpoll Warblers signaling the end of spring migration and prompting my return to a normal sleep schedule. of Ashville in June two years ago to take aboard a pelagic trip of my own, sailing out of Brooklyn, NewYork.

Aisholpan Nurgaiv is a graceful, rosy-cheeked 13-year old girl with a magic smile who makes living on the edge of nowhere and forever look like the easiest experience in the world. The Eagle Huntress was conceived and directed by Otto Bell, a British filmmaker currently based in NewYork City. 87 minutes.
Business journalist Aimee Groth lived through the first three years of Hsieh’s “community as a startup” experiment. We don’t have the space to cover everything here, but talk a bit about how you got pulled into Tony Hsieh’s somewhat cultish world after meeting him at a NewYork speaking engagement. The book is a fun read.
I haven’t yet been birding in Europe but whenever I occasionally skim a field guide about the birds on the other side of the Atlantic, I’m always encouraged to find that I’m already familiar with many species found over there, even though most of my birding experience has been limited to eastern North America. Good birding and happy drinking!
In 2009, I traveled from NewYork City to the tropical rainforest of Ecuador. I looked up most of Kricher’s biography on the Internet because his bio on the back book cover is very brief and I wanted to know a bit more about the education and experience he brought to this uncommon book. The New Neotropical Companion.
Other papers are locked behind paywalls.) That research ultimately led to an article about the conservation efforts regarding the Laysan Duck in the June 2017 issue of Birding.
