Besides the few warblers depicted in the mix of songbirds featured on Safe Flight IPA by the Kings County Brewers Collective we sampled in October 2019, I think this is only the second time we’ve seen a warbler here at Birds and Booze, a surprising situation given how popular this family is with North American birders.

Sample some this weekend. April showers are said to bring May flowers, but this time of year offers far more than fancy flora. The avifauna, for example, can be exquisite. I’ll be hitting the hawk watch this weekend, hoping for something more interesting than the armadas of Turkey Vultures currently tipping through.

As for the music, while listening to some sample tracks, I found myself enjoying the blend of bird sounds and easy-going music. The Keel-billed Motmot is a local, little known species that may be threatened by habitat alteration and maybe even hybridization with the related Broad-billed Motmot.

While nothing extraordinary appeared, we eked out an excellent sampling of local winter avifauna. Corey and I closed out a brilliant year of birding separately by coming together for a quick survey of Pelham Bay Park.

Then, in 2018, other researchers did DNA testing on the sample specimen and found it was just an ordinary Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird with some kind of slight color mutation ( source ).

The Moustached Kingfisher was known by only three samples– one female “collected” in the 1920’s, the other two females “collected” in the 1950’s, according to an Audubon Magazine article. Or more specifically—what valuable information would be unique to this discovery when other samples already exist for study?

The difference in the jitteryness of the lines has to do with sample size. There are way more North American birds in the sample than European, owing to differences in the quality of the data. The larger North American sample sizes smooth out the line.

Like most dove species, Eurasian Collared-Doves are prolific breeders. In warm climates they can breed year round.
