Though I traveled to NYC this weekend, Ivy and I nailed down our best bird before I left; a Short-eared Owl has been hunting at a local park not 10 minutes from our house, which makes for the easiest owl sighting we’ve snagged in a long time! If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment.
Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was his first Gull-billed Tern of the year at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. They are a graceful tern and Corey appreciated watching it hunt, feed, and fly over the marshes. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. How about you?

The most likely bird would be Fulvous Whistling-Duck which I tried for and dipped on last year thanks to the refuge that was good for them being closed for hunting on the day that I made the attempt.

I wouldn’t discover serious birding until I’d been living in Queens for over a decade, only after making a fateful visit to Jamaica Bay out of sheer curiosity. Instead, my earliest drinking experiences in Queens centered around imported beer, a fitting circumstance in this borough of immigrants, now that I think about it.
Unfortunately, this morph is the dominant one at Fuzhou NFP”) that somehow survived the review process, possibly because the reviewer has had similar experiences. Scientists now hypothesize that there are two morphs of this owlet, one of which is invisible. So that takes care of Mike: phalaropes are pretty amazing birds.
