It is my belief that the birds were migrating, though one New York birder suggested that they might have been flying out for some crepuscular feeding. Either way, it was a heck of a sight and another example of why Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is the best place in New York City to see amazing wildlife spectacles.

In the United States, a few of those conundrums are making news. In the New York metro area, not-quite-hurricane Sandy unleashed a significant amount of devastation back in October 2012, with storm surge and severe flooding along shorelines.

By tagging the Parrot and monitoring the area with remote cameras, scientists hope to learn more about this species and how to keep it safe. In Australia, ornithologists have finally gotten their hands on a Night Parrot , the first such capture in more than 100 years. The bird is so rare and elusive that it was thought to be extinct.
