Birding Buddies: April 2012
http://birdingbuddiesbigyear.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Father and Son Big Year 2012. Monday, April 23, 2012. About to get back in Gear. Well the school board was less than cooperative in approving Liam with more time off for his Big Year and that put the brakes on is for a bit. But it's close enough that we are going to risk having to home school him for the last few weeks as we can't wait to get out there. On our way to do some serious shore bird watching and then "bring on the warblers! Sunday, April 8, 2012. Finally got Snowy Owl! The trip to Hillman has ...

Birding Buddies: May 2012
http://birdingbuddiesbigyear.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Father and Son Big Year 2012. Saturday, May 12, 2012. Liam and I got up at 4am this morning to drive 4 hours up to Magee Marsh on Lake Erie near Toledo, OH. Magee Marsh is the self proclaimed, and likely proclaimed by everyone else too, as the "Warbler Capitol of the World". We got there at about 9:30am and the place was jammed with people. It looked like ants on cheese! I can't wait until Liam is old enough to drive! Liam matched the plane at the Armstrong Air and Space Museum on the way home. Some say ...

Birding Buddies: November 2012
http://birdingbuddiesbigyear.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Father and Son Big Year 2012. Thursday, November 22, 2012. Liam, Gannon and I went out last Friday to the Fernald Preserve where they were doing some Saw-whet owl banding. It was cold and late for the boys but we had a blast! Luckily we got to see an owl earlier than later and they didn't get to bed too late. This little Northern Saw-whet owl was pretty darn cute!

Birding Buddies: January 2013
http://birdingbuddiesbigyear.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Father and Son Big Year 2012. Tuesday, January 1, 2013. Outside of all this negative is probably the greatest positive I have ever experienced in my life. Traveling and birding in this capacity as father and son is priceless beyond words. We did go hunt down some Lapland Longspurs on the very last day of the year which was fun. Pretty neat to get a new bird on the last day in your own hometown. Thanks so much to all of you have supported us! This just in. Our final number is 404. Species count - 404.

Father and Son Big Year 2012. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Hatteras, NC Pelagic! Liam and I just got back from an epic trip to Hatteras, NC for a Pelagic birding trip. We went out Sunday with "Seabirding Pelagic Trips" with Brian Patteson and Kate Sutherland. http:/ www.patteson.com/. A special thanks to Kate for taking him under her wing while I was down! Uneventful that is, until Kate screamed SKUA! With the energy and excitement of a battleship general quarters! I am so grateful to be taking this journ...

Inglorious Birder: NEW YARD BIRD!!
http://bigfatbirder.blogspot.com/2010/07/new-yard-bird.html
Friday, July 16, 2010. Got a cool one to add to the yard list. Broad-winged Hawk. Also got Killdeer for a new yard bird a few weeks ago! A real one, not a mockingbird. These may not seem a big deal but where I live I am lucky to see anything other than invasives and robins. A walk at AJ Jolly got a couple of Green Herons and other usual KY summer birds.

Father and Son Big Year 2012. Saturday, October 20, 2012. Homer, AK - March 2012. October 20, 2012 at 1:01 PM. PS This is the first i.d. challenge I do NOT know the answer to. This is the only look we got. I do think I know. I will tell you my guess after you guess Shoe! October 23, 2012 at 2:10 AM. Hmmmm, looks like adult Glaucous Gull. Too bulky to be an Iceland. October 23, 2012 at 4:28 PM. That was my guess too. October 26, 2012 at 11:16 AM. Not sure, but glaucous seems likely. Species count - 404.
