By the time urban and suburban sprawl started to reach New Jersey’s pine barrens they were largely protected and today over 1.1 millions acres are protected as the Pinelands National Reserve where development is controlled by an agency called the New Jersey Pinelands Commission.

This is where a birder can see flock after flock of Eastern Kingbirds flying south, some occasionally alighting in trees to gobble up small fruits (they apparently go “waxwing” when moving south of their breeding grounds). Swarms of swallows zip past and a crazy train of Chimney Swifts can stretch from horizon to horizon.

What I didn’t know was how this relationship actually works: the mechanics of Red Knot migration, the reduced digestive systems necessary for their long flighta, the need to fatten up quickly so they can fly to the Arctic and breed, how they compete with other shorebirds and gulls and, it turns out, humans, for horseshoe crab eggs.

The endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler breeds only in Texas Hill Country near Austin and San Antonio, but much of its nesting grounds have cleared in favor of subdivisions. For example, a developer building a subdivision will likely harm warbler habitat even though that is not the goal of the development.

I found it interesting, for example, to learn that t**s movements differ from warblers, that they “have a bolder, more stop-start or leaping progress through trees or across spaces.”. The chapters, however, offer very good introductions to each bird group. The latter will be useful, I think, to novices and visitors to Great Britain.
