January 2012 Issue: This month's rarity: Falcated Duck in Calif. and (maybe?) Hooded Crane in Tennessee. (Goregous pictures of the Falcated Duck can be found here). Will this be a big year for Snowy Owls south of the US-Canada border? New Farm Bill under discussion, with important conservation provisions. And New Jersey's Delaware Bay Shore is designated a Globally Significant Important Birding Area. Archives of past issues can be found here.

Global Visitor Log

Half of BirdCouple appeared on Bill Moyers" PBS show in April 2007 (non-birding)

One day....

... the Sage Valmiki saw a bird couple sitting on a branch of a tree engaged in their tete-a-tete. While he was blessingly admiring the bird couple, a wicked arrow of a hunter pierced through the male bird, which fell instantly to the ground, and the female bird chirped bemoaningly. Equally hurt as with an arrow, the poet uttered: "For endless years to come, O Hunter, never shall thy soul find peace"
- The Ramayana
