Greg Cantrell is doing a NewJersey Big Year, hoping for 300 species, and raising funds for the NewJersey Audubon Citizen Science program. No blog, but you can check out this post on the NewJersey eBird portal. You can see what she is up to at Laura’s Conservation Big Year 2013.
Last week a mystery bird from NewJersey rightly caused a fair bit of confusion among birders of the Garden State and beyond. NewJersey mystery sparrow.

Of course, I jest a bit in the above paragraph because as a sometime NewJersey birder I have birded the Delaware Bay and seen sights such as the memorable image below, in which thousands of Red Knots, Dunlins, and Short-billed Dowitchers fly up as if connected telepathically.
He writes about how experienced birders think, and how they draw on the sciences of weather, geography, and ecology to analyze where the birds will be. But, before we get to the patch, Lovitch takes us to his home state of NewJersey for a “Case Study” in applying his principles and better birding skills on the road.
Send this to the fish lady in NewJersey!” But, until recently this has not been confirmed by science. So, I put it in a special container and months later, state-side, I showed it to a world-famous fossil mammal expert who said, “Why are you showing me this Tigerfish tooth? I’m a world-famous fossil mammal expert. Which I did.
I would be more apt to accept the science of BBI if the science of hemispheric brain functions was not subject to so much misconceptions and simplification.* Dale Rosselet is an educator, and tour leader, associated since 1983 with NewJersey Audubon, where she is currently Vice-president for Education.

Six members of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty were convicted at a 2006 trial in NewJersey of conspiracy to violate the 1992 Animal Enterprise Protection Act. The group was formed to protest the activities of Huntingdon Life Sciences in Franklin Township, N.J.
Quarter of a century later, I jumped at an opportunity to study environmental sciences, and guess what awaited me there? I didn’t study biology after high school because I told myself: no way I could possibly pass the chemistry! Yes, that very same bloody chemistry from which I have run for half of my life. But I made it, nevertheless.
Today, the vast tract of land is protected, managed for science and conservation. At dawn, my feet hit one of the protected beaches with Wendy Allen, the manager of the North Inlet-Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, one of the science and outreach organizations working within Hobcaw. hours of walking.
It tends to be the Jersey natives who drive too fast and refuse to build fences in their backyards who view wildlife as the enemy. You also note that “counting deer is an imprecise science” and that an aerial survey is expensive, “but some believe it yields the most accurate count.”

Chapter Two is a potpourri of stories about nemesis birds, birding by ear, birding for science, under the rubric of birding ‘for the love of it.’ Louisiana is a magical place to bird. ’ What was left to write about? ’ “Is this going to be a collection of essays?” ” I wondered.
NewJersey. Bonus note for science nerds (not related specifically to birds): Whenever Chinese researchers give percentages, they do so up to two digits behind the decimal – thus the exact percentages in the HBW citation above. Examples: California. Connecticut. North Dakota. Rhode Island. South Dakota. Washington.
This is also where Johnson starts talking about the cost of the theft to the Museum and to science. He says he is motivated by what he has learned from the curators about the skins importance to science, but he is also clearly irritated by the fact that Rist has gotten off so lightly. Simon Baron-Cohen, cousin to the comedian.
