    Shearwater ID - Sitka, Alaska, US

    Thanks for the input and detailed breakdown, Rob. I don't think these abysmal, mis-focused photos are worth basing any serious calls on, but I was still interested to get some feedback. I'm inclined to believe the flock of Sootys was a flock of Sootys, it was mostly that somewhat tantalizing...

    Shearwater ID - Sitka, Alaska, US

    Haven't been here in a long time, figured some more knowledgeable than I on this matter could be found here. I was going through pictures from summer 2013 when I was in Alaska. While on a boat tour to some seabird nesting islands, we encountered a flock of Sooty Shearwaters. I was looking for a...

    Young Birder

    So much work, so many birds to see, so little time to see 'em. I haven't been birding in a month, and the last time I went birding before that was December. I really need to get out! Girlfriends stealing all my time then dumping me, major tests every other week, and just regular life. Rather...

    WOW! Forgot this

    If anybody cared at all, I had totally forgotten my blog. I will try to update more frequently now. Anyway, birding has been slow. Only notable birds as of late have been a SparrowxJunco Hybrid I saw at my feeder once, and a few stunning Harlequin Ducks at Point Lookout. Of course my Merlin has...

    Turkey Vulture on Canaries?

    Turkey Vulture for sure. NOT a Zone-tailed. Verry interesting though, rather out of range.

    The Forest of Dean & Beyond

    Forest of Dean sounds like a great place. Did you happen to spot the Sword of Gryffindor? ;) ;) ;) (If anyone doesn't get it, go read Harry Potter 7. The Chapter "The Silver Doe" takes place in the Forest of Dean)

    Personality

    Love that Far Side cartoon. They so know it ;) Corvids, Raptors, and Roadrunner are my nominations for most personality.

    Californian Condor evacuation

    Very fortunate that the birds (Condors and otherwise) escaped mostly unhurt!! Would have been a crippling loss fof the condors if those 23 had died. According to the Peregrine Fund wedsite, the captive population is 128, with 148 wild birds, and 29 birds awaiting release. Total, 305. They are...

    Ticking off dead birds?

    No dead birds for me. For years, I never saw a live Wood Thrush or Yellowthroat. Both had flown into the windows of my house when I was about 6. I didn't count them, and it was a thrill to finally see them alive. However, I was terrified that my life American Redstart, a young female that had...
