Until last month it was an East Anglian list, as I hadn’t ventured far from home, but a trip to Northern England last month did add some northern specials, such as Dipper and Puffin. That trip was fun, as it reminded me of the delights of watching birds like Golden Plover and even Meadow Pipit on their breeding grounds.

Each year Hog Island offers programs, taught by a stellar staff of naturalists and artists, to groups of all kinds (teenagers, adults, families). Puffins growl like chainsaws, and one in Britain was seen carrying 62 fish in her beak. Most “bird-friendly”-labeled coffee is not bird-friendly at all.

Regardless of how many birds I see or don’t see I am really looking forward to our first family vacation to a new and interesting place. What other birds that I have seen before will I be excited to see again?

So, curious about which birds nest in two places, I quickly found out that it’s Phainopepla, a western bird, a relief because I was concerned that it might have implications for my data collection for the NYS Breeding Bird Atlas. Do they have families too and do they take care of them? copyright @2020 by David A llen Sibley.

” Alan Tilmouth reported in these pages a few months ago that due to extreme weather conditions, Atlantic Puffins and other seabirds were washing up on the shores of Great Britain. That is, warmer oceans are changing fish populations, with butterfish beginning to supplant the herring that Puffins usually feed their young.
