The female Mistletoebird has moved out of the nest to help feed the chicks and the male Mistletoebird is definitely contributing to a large extent. Here are some of the photos that I have taken over recent days of the Mistletoebird family. The feeding of the two Mistletoebird chicks has been relentless over the past week.

Each player plays a card and can count any species from the same habitat group as the card played. “Ace birds” are worth two points and if you see all seven species from a habitat group you get three bonus points. I put up $35 so I could get two sets: one to keep and one to give as a present to an undetermined person.

Many species seemed to come in threes, and today I shall continue my examination of these. Three species of antshrikes are resident in T&T. These endearing birds are almost always found in pairs or small family groups, and I often have difficulty deciding which bird to photograph as both males and females are equally beautiful.

The tail-end of winter delivered a bird I definitely didn’t expect in Rochester. At least that’s where I added this species to my New York list. He and his family were delighted by displaying American Woodcocks once it got dark out. Timberdoodles are real crowd pleasers and are his Best Bird of the Weekend.

Still, the outing did not produce any new species for the year, or enough good photos for a post here. Instead, I have chosen to write about an idea I’ve had percolating for a while: to tell you what the most common species are down here. I’ll take the most common native species in taxonomic order.

One bird species that we occasionally observe around Broome is the Yellow-billed Spoonbill, but we had not seen one for a few years until recently. We soon observed several bird species and then a Yellow-billed Spoonbill flew overhead. Not only is it a bird species we rarely encounter, but we had never found a breeding colony before.

While I saw some pretty special species this weekend, the most special was the Gray Catbird because my sweet 7-year niece totally got into finding one; I think I’ve found the next generation birder in the family! But if you’re eager to share the spoils of your recent avian adventures, let the bird bragging commence!
