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.

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?

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.

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.

None of the pits referenced in the charges were netted, but it’s unclear how many of them were open beyond three months, documents show. Once a well is completed, companies are required to clean up the pit, and it must be covered with netting if it’s open for more than 90 days.

A recent study has documented a rise in the number of turbine-related eagle deaths in the United States. . The use of wind turbines, often deployed on large scale in “wind farms,” has many benefits–wind power is a renewable resource with minimal impact on the environment. Except for birds, that is.

I was chatting with Gordon about this and we discussed how drones could be a safer way to get photos of birds or document birds for breeding surveys, but he was quick to point out, “You and I already have an idea of what a safe distance would be to test that out with an active bald eagle nest. What if there’s an injury?

Just yesterday I learned that the Barn Owl ( Tyto alba ) is the only breeding bird found in New York that has been documented nesting in every month of the year. This bit of trivia was given in an article in my local bird club’s monthly newsletter about the ongoing breeding bird atlas in New York State.

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.

But what actually snapped me out of documenter mode was disgust. At a certain point I stopped being an observer and photographer and intervened. For one, I knew that someone would have to clean up the mess the bird was bound to make. This is a family site so I won’t mention the what it managed to extract from that bag of garbage.

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.

Elephants, peccaries, and corvids have all been documented processing the death of (as we put it) a loved one. Or was it all dumb luck, the randomness of nature at play, pure coincidence? Animals obviously see death and experience it as we do, so the question is not one of if, but of how.

No photoshop was needed to document this bizarre creature encountered somewhere along the road.

As it learns to hunt and live on its own, the young bird has taken up residence in a tree right in front of the farm.
