Obsessive-Compulsive Birding

Saturday, December 31, 2016. Top 10 birds of 2016. 2016 was a big year for me. I forayed to the Neotropics for the first time, staged two cross-continental road trips, and entered graduate school. We shall see what 2017 holds- hopefully, many birds (and possibly a new blog- but more on that later). For now, here are my favorite ten birds of the year. 10 Hooded Warbler –8/9/2016. Just a Hooded Warbler, you say? 9 American Tree Sparrow—11/23/2016. Photo by Trish Gussler. 8 Pinyon Jay—5/11/2016. 8221; Joel ...

Obsessive-Compulsive Birding: April 2015

http://ocbirding.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 9, 2015. Birding by Impression I. Newer birders tend to focus on details. They squint to ascertain the hue of shorebird legs and doggedly attempt to sort out sparrows based on breast pattern. Following the field marks is the classic route to improve one's birding prowess. But, in many cases, those details are superfluous. It was a sapsucker. They're sneaky. Their coyness is unparalleled in the woodpecker clan. Don't bother looking for white wing stripe or the red throat patch. Jerry's Bir...

Obsessive-Compulsive Birding: February 2015

http://ocbirding.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 27, 2015. Open water is a critical ingredient in winter birding; without it, your birding repertoire will be limited to a few dozen passerines. The recent deep freeze has concentrated waterfowl in the ice-jammed Ohio River. I took a cruise along the river this afternoon and found decent numbers of ducks (a flock of over a hundred Canvasbacks was a clear highlight) to reward my numbed toes. I became curious about scaup distribution- thank goodness for eBird! After completing my river circ...

Obsessive-Compulsive Birding: July 2013

http://ocbirding.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 13, 2013. The Such Diaries: 12 July 2013. We began in the solemn douglas-firs, serenaded by saucy kinglets and their out-of-control whistles and warbles. As our elevation ticked upward, the trees shrunk until they tempted abduction as house plants. The kinglets gave way to White-crowned Sparrows as the dominant species. Finally, vascular plant life all but surrendered, leaving us exposed among rock and lichen, the domain of Pipits and Ptarmigan that we did not see. Posted by Neil Gilbert.

Obsessive-Compulsive Birding: November 2014

http://ocbirding.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Map Monday: Hooded Merganser. Hooded Merganser is a long-time favorite species of mine- at the age of eight, I made a watercolor copy of Jim Arnosky's Hooded Merganser painting in Watching Water Birds. I saw my first one on November 27th, 1999, at Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan. First, the general purpose eBird map. They are widely spread across the Lower 48, the Rocky Mountain-ish area comprising the weakest link. And finally, the obligatory Southern California perspective&#...

Obsessive-Compulsive Birding: Seeking Limnothlypis

http://ocbirding.blogspot.com/2015/05/seeking-limnothlypis.html

Sunday, May 10, 2015. Two hours southeast of Cincinnati is Red River Gorge, and there, as many birders know, lurks the enigmatic Swainson’s Warbler. The bird isn’t handsome—in fact, I’ve seen more attractive scat—but it is rare, so birders covet this denizen of rhododendron. Having never seen one, I found myself aflame with list lust and executed a decidedly harebrained quest to find them. Net me two Common Nighthawks and a mockingbird. Worth it all.). I thought to myself. I ended up seeing two more Swai...

Easter egg hunt - from hell! My job: enter a marsh, find every bird nest below 4 meters. Spa in mineral-rich bog mud is just one of the many perks of being a nest searcher. Only problem is, I suck at finding bird nests. Why shouldn't I? Virginia Rail nest, which Dom found. Wait, what's that orange tape? God have mer...

The Sounds of the Sage. Guided by ebird, we drove toward a section of road where groups of over a hundred Sage-grouse had been observed. Dom was obsessed with Sage-grouse. If we didn’t see one, he would explode. Dom eating beans, consumed with madness:. An EXODUS from the sage, the road was littered with grouses!

Birding, listing, and digiscoping in Kent Co., Michigan and beyond. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Not sure why birding is this way, but like shooting a basketball or playing a slot machine, the hits often come in bursts. (Is this not the true definition of mathematical chaos? Tuesday, October 18, 2011. A good Kent Co tick, and not the age class I expected. The birds frequented these 3 locations throughout our visit. Here are the best photos I could manage of them:.

So you know the old adage "the best way to learn is to teach"? So on Friday September 20th, I received a call from Curtis Dykstra that a darkish juvenile jaeger was sitting on the beach at Holland SP. I mean, does anyone looking at this photo think the R1s are pointed? Here is Pyle's treatment of uppertail coverts in juvenile jaegers, th...

The bird spent the night at the 100th St flooding in Caledonia with the 11 Greater White-fronteds, and I got much better looks at the Ross's this morning, March 12. It does indeed appear to be a pure Ross's (or within variation of what we define as pure Ross's currently, more accurately stated! Here is checklist, video, photos, and discussion:.

This Chipping Sparrow was perched at the cemetary from which you view the Swainsons Hawk. After that, we took a quick stop at Paul Douglas Forest Preserve, and found a Family of Pied-billed Grebes among other things. This Pied-billed Grebe Family was nice to see on our way home from seeing a Swainsons Hawk. The female of one of two pairs of Gadwall at Rollins Savanah.

OC Birth Class

What People are Saying About. My husband and I were so grateful that we found Alyce! When I first spoke to her on the phone she asked about myself, my birth plan (if any at the time), and any other questions that I had. She was so warm and nonjudgemental that I immediately felt comfortable with her. Alyce was also great explaining to my husband what emotions and discomfort that I might experience and how he could best support me. For first time parents, this was essential! Current Schedule of Classes.
