Birding By The Sea

Birding By The Sea

Images in this post are from a trip to Hammonasset in mid-January when I met world eBirders Julie Hart and Daniel Schlaepfer with four additional visits in February. Julie was kind […]

Sinsonte Común (Northern Mockingbird) Mimus polyglottos (Linnaeus, 1758)

July 1, 2017December 23, 2019 Marcelo Allende 7 Comments

Durante mi estadía en Varadero pude conocer y fotografiar al Sinsonte común, pariente de nuestras calandrias e integrante del mismo género “mimus”; similar a nuestra Calandria grande con algunos detalles de la Calandria real porque al verlo en vuelo se destaca por las manchas blancas que tiene en las remeras y timoneras. Cuando esta volando […]

Parti-colored Starling

Only kidding. It’s so cold and rainy outside that I spent most of it sitting in a comfortable chair playing games and some of it creating imaginary birds with Photoshop from my archive of bird images.       A Bird Came Down the Walk  by Emily Dikinson   A bird came down the walk: […]

Are mockingbirds life-long learners?

Are mockingbirds life-long learners?

July 28, 2016December 23, 2019 Laura Erickson Leave a comment

Ornithologists have long maintained that Northern Mockingbirds are continual learners, adding new imitations to their songs year after year. The assumption has been that imitations of different sounds indicate the breadth of experiences a male has lived through, and that female mockingbirds are drawn to the most experienced males. The American Ornithologists’ Union and Cornell […]

How Cold Is It?

How Cold Is It?

February 22, 2016December 23, 2019 Julie Feinstein 1 Comment

The cold earth slept below; Above the cold sky shone; And all around, With a chilling sound, From caves of ice and fields of snow The breath of night like death did flow Beneath the sinking moon. The wintry hedge was black; The green grass was not seen; The birds did rest On the bare […]

Spring Birds in Winter

Spring Birds in Winter

December 15, 2014December 23, 2019 Julie Feinstein 2 Comments

Remember the polar vortex winter we had last year? This robin came to my window every cold morning of it with his feathers so puffed up he looked downright chubby. I fed him raisins for breakfast straight through until spring. He’s back! He (or so…
