Hi all! Well, I'm finally back from my travels to NH (fledgling research) to AZ (Camp Chiricahua) to NH (family vacation—not much getting out and birding) ...
Hi, Sounds like an incredible trip. You had some fantastic birds. I recognize someone in your group shot (aside from you). Anyway, you beat out my Arizona...

I only recognize one person too (I suppose it's the same one, since I was with you Shawn when Oliver came to Ithaca for a couple of weeks). Oh boy Colorado and...
Hello everyone. My name is Chris Bohinski and I am 16 years old. Tomorrow my parents are treating me to a day of birding to wherever I want. I picked the ...
To anybody that has seen the heron or knows of the surroundings, why don't the people going to see it park at Derier Offerman Park? It would seem they would,...
After doing further research about the Western Reef Heron, my parents discovered in a Book of World Birds that the Wester Reef Heron has ALL YELLOW LEGS. The...
Ok, So here it is. Things are kinda weird taxanomically with Little Egret. People are having a hard time deciding what is a subspecies and what is a full...
Phil hit the nail on the head with his statement on the questionable taxonomy of the Western Reef-heron/Little Egret/Dimorphic Egret complex. I have found many...
While viewing the western reef heron on Sunday, I saw these birds also. I am unsure on their ids. Do you think you can help me? Thanks so much. Please email me...
Fooling around on Google Maps I realized that there is a much easier alternative to getting to the Home Depot. This alternative won't let you into Dreier...
Hi everyone, Thought this might be of interest. It's amazing what happens in the wee hours of the morning! http://ebird.org/content/ebird/news/Newells.html ...
The East Pond water level was very high this afternoon because of the recent storm. There were a lot of shorebirds on the pond, especially towards the North...
Thanks to everyone who helped me out to solve my bird mysteries! The overall votes for the night heron was an immature Yellow-Crowned and the shorebirds in ...
Hey all, Today I birded the flats at Cupsogue County Park in Long Island at low tide, from 3:30 - 5:00. I saw more species today than I did Sunday, when I was...
As we're at a time (although I guess almost all times of the year can qualify as this) when a lot of VERY out of place birds can be found in our area, I'd just...
Question: As a young birder have any of you ever felt like a bird or two of yours has been kind of questioned because of your lack of experience and age? It...
Joe and all, I'm sure I have, I just can't remember which ones. I know occasionally you have to make a good ID to get some skeptics to trust you. I definitely...
It is natural for someone to run into this barrier when they start birding. It is not so much the age thing as the experience one though. People will obviously...
Upon making my new Flickr page, I've been looking back on some old bird photos from a few years back. And having just gotten Photoshop, I've been playing...
I think I may have been the one who mentioned that. It kind of looked like a Barnacle to me then, but now I can see it much better. I don't have enough...
Today a single American Golden-plover was at Hobart Beach. It spent the majority of its time feeding in a drained tidal cove along with a single Black-bellied...
Ok well if nobody is going to guess anymore....the bird is a WHITE- RUMPED SANDPIPER, photographed on September 3, 2006 at Miller Field in Staten Island. The...
Hello everyone, Just today I returned from a great vacation to the lovely province of Nova Scotia, Canada. A total of 103 species I think, which is about...
You sure had a phenomenal trip. Funnily enough, my life Red Phalarope, Atlantic Puffin, and Greater and Sooty Shearwaters were also on a Whalewatching trip in...
Doug, Yes, it was a surprisingly productive! Now I have to be techinical here: I saw Greater and Sooty on the whale watch but they weren't lifers (seen both...
Hey, Sounds like you had an awesome trip. On American Bittern, I'd say to try Dune Road in December. That's one of the easiest places to get them. Just drive...
