Instead of talking on the cell phone, singing along to the radio or do other activities that drivers everywhere do to stave off boredom I decided to grab my camera and document my trip from the eastern edge of Ohio all the way to beautiful Lakeside where the 2011 Midwest Birding Symposium was about to kick off.

First off, if you are trying to document birds quickly than this set up is not going to work for you. Don’t plan on using this set up to document a rarity that is hiding deep in the brush, though it does work for distant species that might be beyond the range of your SLR. This can result in bad videos and colorful language.

The oldest Yellow Warbler ever documented was recaptured in June (link is very slow to load). First banded in June of 2001 at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center (where I saw my trigger bird ) she is at least 11 years old!

Above, a Merlin sits through a few quick documentation pics before… …heading off into the sunset. You never know how each shot will turn out which is one of the reasons I love documenting these moments. The icing on the cake is the rare joy that comes from handling a bird well and then getting to send it on its way.

This fall I again spent time out in the field documenting the wood-warblers moving through and enjoying the last looks I would get at them for six months or more. Now that it is October and the wood-warblers are mostly replaced by sparrows it seemed like a good time to share the fruits of my labors.

Finally, despite what Warner Brothers would like you to believe, there has never been a documented instance of a coyote eating a roadrunner. They prefer not to but if a coyote were about to catch a roadrunner that roadrunner would take to the wing and be gone! Shocking, no?

The picture above is horrible but it kind of documents that Corey saw a state first this weekend which makes it obviously his Best Bird of the Weekend. It was found sitting way out in a field by Andy Guthrie on Saturday morning and Corey arrived in time to see it before it flew a short distance out of sight. How about you?

He describes lark mirrors and other contraptions that were used to entice the birds into traps in detail, and cites the few documented numbers of larks sold in market in the early 19 th century (826, 462 in the Paris market in 1832). And, that just isn’t documented in scientific papers. Birds and People is an exceptional book.

In the latest instalment of the ongoing documentation of the curious recurrence of the number three in the avifauna of Trinidad and Tobago, we arrive on the triad of Grassquits. For the uninitiated, while on a deep dive into Trinbagonian ornithology a few years ago I noticed groups of three popping up in multiple places.

By leaving my camera on its continuous-shoot function, with manual focus, I was able to document several of one blotchy male’s oh-so-brief jumps: Pssst! For these birds jump so often while singing (up to several times each minute), that they are apparently called “johnny jump-ups” in some English-speaking areas.

Brothers Anthony and Paul Hertzel, who documented the Minnesota bird, wondered if their bird could have been the offspring of a Blackpoll x Wilson’s Warbler pair. The mystery bird looked something like a male Blackpoll Warbler in alternate (breeding) plumage, but it was yellow and black instead of black and white.

Suspected hybrids between heron species, whilst extremely rare, have been documented for some time. But they do spark an interesting and somewhat controversial debate that inevitably leads back to the same old question of what constitutes a species. As early as 1954 a suspected Little Blue Heron/Snowy Egret hybrid was reported from Florida.
