I’m focusing on Turkey Vultures here because they are undoubtedly the species most birders in NorthAmerica (the home of 10kB) are most familiar with, but the name vulture applies to birds found around the globe. Old World Vultures are nestled within the family Acciptridae along with the hawks and eagles.
The Yellow-rumped Warbler ( Setophaga coronata ) complex is one of the most abundant and widespread representatives of the New World warbler family in NorthAmerica, present in many parts of the United States even through the winter months, when the birds feed on small fruits and other foods, including sap. So Toews et al.
This is the first identification guide that I know of that covers Mexico (technically NorthAmerica but rarely included in North American raptor guides) and Central America. Like Peterson’s Hawks of NorthAmerica, 2nd edition (Houghton Mifflin, 2001), which Clark co-authored with Brain K. klak-klak, keeear!,
Even more than warbler, shorebird, and sparrow identification, this is a field that tests our endurance (gull watching is too often done in bitter cold, windy conditions), patience (even getting one good photo can take hours as you try to separate the ‘interesting gull’ from the flock), observational skills (so many plumages!) Range Maps.
Tap water is not as cold as in Europe (and, I presume, NorthAmerica), but to be called lukewarm it should be warmer.

A Sage Thrasher – a vagrant from western NorthAmerica and only one of a handful of New York State records – was found on the other side of the Hudson River over in Columbia County in early November. Luckily, something unusual did show up not too far from home – and with just less than two months to go in 2020.
There is much to enjoy and appreciate here and I only wish I could have tested out some of these species accounts in pelagic waters before writing about them (sadly, the 10,000 Birds pelagic to Antarctica was canceled this year). It covers 434 species across 9 orders and 18 families of birds. .; Houghton Mifflin, U.S.),
Our North American bird field guides stopped offering this information decades ago, so it’s handy to have it all collected in one handy volume, especially if you’re doing a state breeding bird survey like some 10,000 Birds writers. Donna). ==. Donna). ==. But craziness is not a requisite.
