It actually makes a lot of sense, the geographic features of the isthmus between North America (including Mexico, because Mexico is part of North America) and South America cut across political lines, as do birds. One field guide, seven countries.

Her experiences are framed within the larger scientific histories how once common species become endangered, and of how people and organizations have strategized and explored controversial paths to bring their numbers up and nurture them till they fill our skies. This is the chapter where Osborn talks about “second chances.”

This means that there are some astoundingly large families of birds in Central and South America.

I was fortunate enough to spot the individual in this post at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge where it was foraging in bushes and small trees between four and fifteen off of the ground. Read about them here but also get out and experience them. That is unfortunate because the Tiger Warbler * is one wood-warbler worth watching.

The experience, the place, and the bird combine to make this my BBOTY. I was a bit sad, too, that we had annoyed the owl enough that it felt it had to strafe us … my normal MO is to avoid stressing out wildlife. Carlos’s BBOTY – the Nicobar Pigeon. My heart was beating so fast and I was giddy with laughter.

For native people, living in South America meant living with hummingbirds, and for Europeans, discovering South American meant discovering hummingbirds (and, tragically, exploiting South America meant exploiting hummingbirds, destroying hundreds of thousands for stuffed specimens and in futile attempts to keep them alive in captivity.)

The Great Black Hawk – a species with a native range in Mexico to South America – had been spotted in this park for weeks, but not every day. The general mood was one of gratitude, and everyone passed camera lenses and binoculars back and forth to share the experience. Fish and Wildlife Service, to decide its fate.
