So when Nutmeg Mannikin was finally, at long last, added to the ABA list last summer, it was a foregone conclusion that those birders at the ABA’s San Diego rally, of which I was one, would need to make a trip out of our way to get it. Get your bird. They’re not supposed to be here. We shouldn’t want them here.

Sea World San Diego just welcomed the world’s first “test-tube” penguin. If you love penguins, and you love Doctor Who , you won’t want to miss this David Tennant–narrated miniseries on PBS. Penguins are also being touted as a way to gauge the health of oceans.). Still craving more penguin news? Can prairie grass curb bird strikes?

Staff from the San Diego Zoo think so. Prothonotary Warblers (like the dapper bird above captured for posterity by Corey) should carry frequent-flier cards—a recent Audubon-led study found that one geolocator-toting individual racked up more than 5,000 miles in eight months.

It’s my first return to Prospect Park since my overwhelming San Diego adventure and things seem quiet, despite favorable overnight winds and gushing reports of a wild sparrow bonanza the previous day. The lawn seems bare of birds, except for a single female Flicker. Overhead, a white-tailed young Red-tailed Hawk calls.

I learned a lot about why Wood Thrushes (like the one Corey photographed above) are less efficient at migration than adults (like human kids, they seem to make more pit stops along the way), and that Dark-eyed Juncos which spend all year in San Diego seem to have undergone a fairly recent genetic shift toward “sedentariness.”

As of a few months ago, there was a sighting of a meransi across the US/Mexico border and up into the San Diego area. It was spotted by several birders at the Famosa Slough, on August 2nd of 2015. This is over 100 miles from its northern most previous sighting. I guess he was just going north for a short vacation!!

We can queue up new processes and new metrics with less pushback and take the business in new directions.
