http://northernwingsbirder.blogspot.com/2014/04/western-massachusetts-pink-footed-goose.html
Wednesday, April 2, 2014. Western Massachusetts Pink-footed Goose. Sightings in the Northeast have been occurring with increasing frequency since the late 1990s. A winter vagrant to eastern Canada and northeastern U.S., its nesting range is eastern Greenland, Iceland and Svalbard. Normal winter range is Great Britain, the Netherlands and Denmark. Increased vagrancy to North America has been attributed to the population having undergone a 10 fold increase over the past 50 years. View my complete profile.

Saturday, February 8, 2014. Curing the Midwinter Birding Doldrums. One of my quests was the federally endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker, a keystone species of mature longleaf pine forests. Luckily I succeeded in finding at least two by keeping a close watch on a clump of marked nesting trees observable from the road and listening for any vocalizations.

Acronym for: Biron's Images Russo's Descriptions. Friday, May 22, 2015. Great horned owl and owlet. Today we birded at the North Springfield Reservoir, there's a variety of spots to explore with lots of trails. There's over 1300 acres of forest, field, wetland and two lakes. At the north end, in a pine tree, a pair of bald eagles had been nesting for a few years. But in late winter, a pair of great horned owls stole their nest! I'm not sure if the bald eagles found a new spot in the area or not. For a wa...

http://bironandrussobirds.blogspot.com/2015/05/warbler-walk.html
Acronym for: Biron's Images Russo's Descriptions. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Last Saturday, Gerry and I joined the southeastern Audubon group. For a warbler walk led by Richard Foye. We walked along the Fort Hill Rail Trail, aka the Hinsdale setbacks, in New Hampshire. It's a great spot for migrating birds along the Connecticut River. Richard telling the group about the bird we're hearing - now we need to find it! Warblers are always high in the trees! A very good find was this singing, yellow-throated vireo.

Tails of Birding: American Robin
http://tailsofbirding.blogspot.com/2011/07/american-robin.html
Saturday, July 23, 2011. When I visit my children in Philadelphia, the robin sings on the top of old industrial buildings, forages the manicured flower beds around apartment buildings, and picks grit for its gizzard from busy streets just ahead of the rumbling urban buses. Outside of my cabin in the hot dry prairie of the South Dakota badlands, speckle-breasted fledgling robins hopped after their parent, begging for food. In the monoculture of Wyoming’s lodgepole pine forests, there was very little...
