At least I didn’t have to travel far for great birds; my whole family thrilled to the sight of an adult Sharp-shinned Hawk chowing down on an unspecified rodent in our yard. The post Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of February 2020) appeared first on 10,000 Birds. Some weeks, Monday feels more like a respite than a burden.

The eggs usually hatch out quite close together and then the family can all move away from the nest site. There are dangers around the nest site and the sooner they could move the family away from the exposed nest site the better. We were hopeful of finding the family moving through the dune system.

Corey got his Best Bird of the Weekend early this weekend as while he and his family were making their way home from a week-long vacation in Cape Cod on Friday a Black-throated Gray Warbler was found in Queens at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. His wonderful family agreed to drive straight there before going home and Corey got a new Queens bird!

The most common one, Manila tamarind, is wildly inaccurate, since the tree is native to southwestern Mexico, not Manila, and its only connection to tamarind trees is that both are in different subfamilies of the huge legume family. I first met the tree in Baja California, where it is known as guamúchil (gwa-MOOCH-eel), so I will call it that.

I am puzzled as to why Gulls and Terns are almost passed over, with less than two pages of text devoted to a family description and only six species accounts (four gulls, two terns). Family follows family with no page break, making this section a little dense. Woodpeckers are a family of focus for Tuttle-Adams.

A typical description of the family is that of “a tropical African and Asian songbird that typically has a melodious voice and drab plumage”, another is “small, dull-colored passerine birds of Asia and Africa”, yet another states that they are “often rather plain” Individual species get even harsher reviews.

A little further, there’s a family group of Savannah Elephants with two two-year olds. From 2020 to 2022, that figure was lower, about 500 animals per year, but is it because of better safety measures or fewer and consequently harder to locate quarries?

Following on from the sad loss of our first Pied Oystercatcher chick of 2020 the other eggs are now also hatching. We moved back and sat on the sand and watched the Pied Oystercatcher family. As we sat observing the Pied Oystercatcher family the adult with the chicks moved down onto the sand below us and the other one stood guard.

As you can see, this is not a promising trend.
