Day 1: 30 Day 1000 Species Challenge

A moth I still need to identify for the monthly challenge
Starting off my 30 day challenge in as non-obsessive a way as possible: spent the day at church and hanging out with family and friends.  I did take a few shots of moths and other insects coming to my patio light, which I will identify later.  Otherwise, my observations were restricted to a few food items, as well as a few birds noted flying over the pool at our friend's home--best of which were 6 migrating Common Nighthawks heading south at 7:30pm before a big overnight thunderstorm rolled in.

My non-obsessive count for the month so far stands at 10 organisms:

English Name Scientific Name Date 
Common Nighthawk Chordeiles minor 1-Sep-13
American Crow Corvus corax 1-Sep-13
American Robin Turdus migratorious 1-Sep-13
Mourning Dove Zenaida macroura 1-Sep-13
Rock Pigeon Columba livia 1-Sep-13
Human Homo sapiens 1-Sep-13
Dog Canus lupus 1-Sep-13
Chicken Gallus gallus domesticus 1-Sep-13
Cow Bos primigenius 1-Sep-13
Crane Fly Tipulidae sp. 1-Sep-13
Asian Rice Oryza sativa 1-Sep-13
Common Bean Phaseolus vulgari 1-Sep-13

30 Day 1000 Species Challenge

Crane Fly, Tipulidae sp.--1 of 1000 species I am out to find
This month I am teaching my annual biodiversity course at Rosemont College in Philadelphia.  As part of this Diversity of Life course, students need to find and blog about 10 different species from across the range of life on earth--from bacteria to birds and other vertebrates.  They are also able to obtain extra credit for observations of additional organisms.

To get in the spirit of this biological exploration, I've set myself a 30 Day 1000 Species Challenge.  During the month of September I'm going to document 1000 species in my life--plants, animals, fungi, bacteria...whatever!  This will go beyond what some might traditionally consider nature exploration--so here are the rules:

1) Each organism needs to be identified--that means scientific name, and English name if available.  Organisms identified to a level above that of genus and species are acceptable, but need to be identified as well as possible.

2) The date and location for each observation need to be recorded.

3) Organisms may be found in the wild, in captivity, or in commercial products.  Organisms that are not alive are countable if they are still in the food chain--for example mushrooms in the grocery store count, roadkill counts, but museum specimens do not count.

I figure I should be able to get at least 100 wild birds for the month, as well as numerous moths and other insects.  I will do an inventory of the plants in my yard.  I will explore the species found at local grocery stores.  I may check out the wild animals available for sale in the local pet trade.  There are lots of other places to look for species, and I look forward to a fun month of explorations.  I will post and regularly update my tallies here on my blog.

Night Flight Calls--15 August

Perhaps the best nocturnal migration calling of the fall so far.  Here are the calls from 9pm-12am on August 15:


Here are the calls from 12-5:30am on the morning of August 16:


One thing that is interesting here is how much lighter the bands of insect noise were as the night wore on.

Night Flight Calls--19 Aug 2013


Very few NFCs detected during the night of 19-20 August.

Night Flight Calls--16 Aug 2013


Starting to go through my recordings for this fall season.  Here are the calls recorded on the night of Aug 16-17--the best call night I've seen so far this fall.  Most nights there is heavy insect noise, which makes it difficult to detect migrant calls (if there are any).  Will post more on call IDs later.

Midsummer Blahs

I've had other priorities the last couple months, and haven't even been getting my 20 Bird MDR :-(

So I've been bird anemic lately, and am just now getting back into more healthy birding habits.  Yesterday I got my 20 Bird MDR in half an hour at Spruce Run (but there is high water, so no good shorebirding this year) and this morning I got it in the yard, where a flyover Double-crested Cormorant was the best yard bird.

Southbound shorebirds should be on the move, and land birds are moving around...so time to get the nocturnal microphone back out and listening for the good stuff going over each evening.

Double-crested Cormorant Band Return

It took awhile, but finally got back the details on a Double-crested Cormorant that I found last year.  Looks like it came from New York the year before.

Good Friday Birds

Today is Good Friday, the traditional anniversary of the day when Jesus of Nazareth was crucified in Jerusalem.  And there is a bird connection.

White-winged Crossbill, Spruce Run Reservoir, 2013.

According to Medieval accounts, one bird, the crossbill, got it's unusual crossed beak by trying to pry the nails from the hands of Jesus as he hung on the cross.  And his blood stained the birds red.

So it's just a legend.  The reality has more to do with millions of generations of crossbills specializing on prying the seeds out of pine and spruce cones.  But it's a fun connection, just the same, and one I remember every time I am fortunate enough to see some of these fantastic birds.

Happy Easter everyone!

Grooving on Birdscapes

I love birds.  But as much as I love the birds, I also love the places where the birds are found.  The other day I spent several hours just enjoying the wind, water, and clouds at my local reservoir.

Spruce Run Reservoir, Hunterdon, NJ, 28 March 2013
Birding has taken me to all 50 US states and a host of other countries.  I've enjoyed all the birds, but in many ways the birds are just a small piece of the landscapes--or birdscapes, if you will.  It is hard to separate them in my mind.  The three Bonaparte's Gulls that flew in to join the other gulls on the edge of the reservoir in the shot above (three small white dots on the left of the others), are as much a part of the moment as the clouds and the waves.  Birding is a celebration of birds, but even more so a celebration of life and place.

This really struck me as I picked up a copy of the new Crossley ID Raptor Guide.  There on each plate was captured amazing scenes that I've enjoyed in my travels.  In fact, I loved it so much I got Princeton Press to give away a free copy of the guide to whoever can best guess the location of seven birdscapes shown in the book (check it out and enter the contest over at BirdingIsFun).

In the meantime, here are several other amazing birdscapes from the guide.  Enjoy!  





Be sure to pick up a copy of the Crossley ID Raptor Guide if you love this kind of stuff.  But with spring in the air here in the northern hemisphere, be sure to get outside and connect to your own favorite local birdscapes.  Then come back and tell us what birdscapes most inspire you and why!

Pacific Loon in New Jersey

Last night I got a text about a Pacific Loon in nearby Morris County, NJ--a first county record for this species.  After the kids got on the bus for school this morning, I headed over and was able to get some digiscoped shots of the bird as it swam laps around an office park detention pond.  My most urban Pacific Loon yet (beating out my first county record and sewage pond sighting at Hornsby Bend in 1998).

Like shooting fish in a barrel, a loon in a detention pond!

Not maybe where you would expect to see a Pacific Loon, on either coast, but what the heck!
 .
At any rate, here are some of the better shots I managed of the actual bird.

You can see the white eyelids on this shot of the bird sleeping briefly


OK, not a great shot, except for the action as it dives!

Perhaps my favorite shot

Not a great shot, but a more typical Pacific Loon posture

I love it when loons look under the water for food

Why do we always focus on shots from the side?  I like the grays in the head as it is going away

Going away now
