Where Are You Birding This Last Weekend of November 2009?
Time to talk turkey. The fourth Thursday of November is when we in the United States observe Thanksgiving. However, anybody can take a moment today to consider the veritable cornucopia of blessings we enjoy in this day and age.

Turkeys Teeming Throughout America
Happy Thanksgiving! While our custom on the fourth Thursday of November is traditionally to trot out some thrilling turkey facts, this may be an auspicious time to ponder the remarkable fortune of Meleagris gallopavo, the Wild Turkey. You might wonder why I would describe the bird being barbecued, baked, roasted, pan fried, and deep fried by millions of Americans possibly AT THIS VERY MOMENT as lucky.

Say Hello to Desmond…
…or, as his birth certificate will soon say, Desmond Shearwater Ji Won Chung-Finger (Desi for short). Desmond came into this world early this morning, at 6:18 AM to be exact, after 13 hours of labor.

Interview: Tim Cleeves on the Slender-billed Curlew
As we discussed in yesterday’s post (The Search for the Slender-billed Curlew) the Slender-billed Curlew Numenuis tenuirostris is one of 192 bird species designated as Critically Endangered - meaning that it is considered to be facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Few breeding areas have ever been located, but the species was once found in large staging and wintering flocks across much of eastern Europe and in wetlan
