'Does the product above strike you as black humor, only not funny? Let me introduce my guest blogger, Lisa Owens Viani, co-founder of the California-based group RATS ( Raptors Are The Solution ), which educates people about the dangers of rat poisons. I’ll leave today’s blog in her capable hands. It takes a lot of nerve—or something that can’t be printed here—to name your rat poison after the animals that so effectively and efficiently control rodents but that are also being poisoned

'As I had cause to observe last weekend, the great divide between birders and nonbirders is best expressed through gulls. Owls and eagles and ducks and hummingbirds and parrots and woodpeckers are all things that a regular nonbirding joe or jane can, with time and a few color photographs, see the appeal of. Even sparrows, if you choose the right species and play your cards right, can be elevated to ‘cute’ status.

'Seriously? Just look at this drake. Pretty dapper wouldn’t you say? Pete Dunne calls the Gadwall ( Anas strepera ) the “Dapper Gray Dabbler.” Click on photos for full sized images. Pete goes on to state that “the plumage of the male is distinctive. The head and body are overall gray, shot through with subtle brown highlights and bracketed by a small black bill and a very obvious black butt.

'Every time I go to the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival I make sure to go out of my way to spend some time with Snail Kites. As a New Yorker, the idea of a raptor that subsists primarily and almost exclusively on snails is utterly foreign to me and I find the idea fascinating. After all, we tend to think of raptors as fast, as powerful, as stealthy.

'There’s nothing like a birdy, bird-filled lunch and I’m not talking about some lemon domesticated jungle fowl tagine either (although that is damn good too!). I mean watching cool birds at close range while enjoying the midday repast. In Costa Rica, whether I happen to be birding for fun or searching out target birds for others, I strive to combine birds with lunch.

'Those of you who go outside like actual birders and/or adults may not be aware of the latest craze to sweep the internet. No, not the llamas. Or the trailer for the new Frozen short. Or even the welcome news the Obama has vetoed the Keystone pipeline. No, it’s about a blue dress. Or a white dress. With decorations that are either gold or black.

'So you’re a bird just minding your own business—feeding, nest-building, mating, that kind of thing. You’ve adapted fairly well to the presence of the odd tall creatures with two legs who can’t fly. And now a bunch of them are staring intently at you. No biggie. But wait, what’s that? Out of the corner of your eye, something menacing and not quite organic appears.

'So many sexy snow birds pop up this time of year: Snow Buntings , Snow Geese , Snowy Owls … But if you’re like me, you couldn’t get out to see them this weekend. Why? Too much snow! Between work and shoveling, I had no chance to get out birding. Fortunately, House Finches came to me, brightening up the feeder with their raspberry resplendence.

'On the second day of the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival I wasn’t scheduled to lead any field trips. Rather than sleep in or do some other foolish thing like that I did what any self-respecting birder from New York who finds himself in Florida would do: I went birding! In particular, I headed south, to the T.M. Goodwin Waterfowl Management Area , which is open to vehicles not driven by hunters on Mondays and Thursdays only.

'Every weekend deserves at least a little excitement, but I’m finding it difficult to get too worked up about another ice-rimed February weekend. So much for going out like a lamb! At least this miserable (YMMV) month is coming to an end. I’ll dream of an opportunity to encounter a cool owl, falcon, or boreal vagrant along the lake this weekend, but I can’t say for sure I’ll actually look for one.

'Alas, the team named for a bird fell short of the crown in Super Bowl XLIX. While many human beings felt anguish and rage at the loss, most avifauna appeared unperturbed. The non-Seahawk birds that caught my eye this weekend were Northern Cardinals , which always look their best burning crimson against a blanket of white snow. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a wonderful American Pipit foraging on the roadside margin at Jones Beach State Park.

'Red-shouldered Hawks ( Buteo lineatus ) are one of my favorite raptors and I am fortunate to have them nesting near my property. I hear them constantly calling with that steadily repeated squealing keeyuur, keeyuur, keeyuur , and I see them more often in early summer hunting for food for their nestlings. That being said, I found this juvenile recently at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge.

'The internet appears to have nearly as many people getting caught up with Cholla Cacti as it has cute kittens doing funny stuff. It almost qualifies as a genre in itself. Now this is only a personal suspicion, but I reckon that the birds of the Sonoran Desert have set up candid cameras and are getting their Youtube footage by enticing birders close enough to the cholla bushes for the spiked fruit to make the leap onto their innocent carriers.

'The annual number of rhino poached in South Africa last year rose to 1,215, Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa told a media briefing in Pretoria two weeks ago. On average, over 100 rhinos were illegally killed each month. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said the figures showed a 21% increase in poaching from 2013, topping that year’s total by 195.

'We are bound to suffer. Yes, winter has done it again : here in Heidelberg, we are subjected to the painful games of Mr. Grey, trapped under his cloudy sheets and denied the warmth of the sun or the privilege of seeing colours on birds. Admittedly, it is not quite as bad as it was two years ago, since we have occasionally been seeing small bits of blue skies for a few minutes every few days during the last two months.

'Jones Beach State Park in Nassau County, New York, is a great place to bird at all seasons. In winter, especially with the kind of winter we have had this year, it can be brutal. I was reminded of this one morning last week when I had to work out on Long Island so thought that I would do some before work birding at Jones Beach. Because, you know, why not?

'One of the wonderful experiences when birding away from your home turf is the potential to come across creatures other than birds with which you may not be familiar. On my previous trips to the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival I had only once spotted an armadillo, and that was on the side of the highway as I whizzed past, which is hardly the view you want when you are seeing something for the first time.

'A couple weekends ago I headed out to the Carolina Bird Club’s winter meeting in Nags Head, North Carolina, on the cusp of the Outer Banks. The CBC is great for holding their meetings at some of the Carolinas’ best birding locations, but there’s something special about the Outer Banks that makes the rotation to the NC coast something that birders don’t want to miss.

'Keep your eyes to the skies for gulls, but don’t breathe in too deeply ! Here we lie fallow in mid-February. In just about every part of the world, this weekend will be much like last weekend. Next weekend will be more of the same. Nothing for us to do, my friends, but soldier on… I’m eager to spy winter birds around Rochester, but ironically, the snow and cold seem to be shutting most of them down.

'Jacamars live only in the neo-tropical rainforest of South America. Structurally, they resemble an oversize hummingbird, the coloring is more like that of kingfisher, they act like Tyrant flycatchers, and nest in cavities they dig themselves. Ecologically, they are Tyrant flycatchers in disguise. They perch on exposed branches and sit and wait for passing insects they catch in the wing.

'Not so long ago, there was a question on this blog : which is the most interesting gull in the world? In the last two weeks, I have been busy counting thousands of gulls, involving two visits to the Belgrade city rubbish dump to look for some light reading. It usually meant tens of thousands of Black-headed Gulls , a few hundred to a few thousand each of Caspian and Common Gulls (and a dozen or two of Yellow-legged Gulls which I missed, but they’ll become more common with the advance of spring)

'For many in the birding community, Miami is a destination meant only for ticking off ABA-countable exotics such as Spot-breasted Oriole or Red-whiskered Bulbul. For others, it is simply a launching point to Everglades National Park or the Florida Keys. However, few realize that this flat, densely populated county boasts one of the highest list totals of any county east of the Mississippi.
