Birding

Donna’s 2014 Year List

January 2, 2014 by Donna No Comments

438. That was how many bird species I saw in 2013. Not bad, considering I did not leave the United States. (Well, I did for one birding trip, but I don’t think chases where you end up in the ER count.) I decided to join the 10.000 Birds year listing in March 2013 with trepidation, and ended up thoroughly enjoying the friendly competition. I also found that doing a year list does indeed affect the way I approached birding, but that fate has a way of tempering the urge to tick, and that trips to get a ‘bird for the list’ usually ended up with zilch while trips to enjoy birding and bird photography often resulted in surprises.

It’s taking me a while to figure out my birding goals for 2014. I met and exceeded my goal of getting to 600 species for the ABA area in 2013, with Black-crested Titmouse as number 600. My ABA number is now 625 (626 if you count Aplomado Falcon, not clear on what the rules are for that). I’m putting off moving towards 700. this is a goal that would require many pelagics, which I am not fond of, and chicken runs and trips to many western and square states, from Arizona to North Dakota. (I have to say that birding has been very good for my geography.) It might be time for me to pay more attention to my world list, get my Ecuadorian and Costa Rican sightings into Avisys or eBird, and to start making some longterm travel plans. Coming up in a few weeks: Panama. Maybe another trip, a bucket-level trip, but I don’t want to jinx it by talking about it yet.

One goal for 2014, a small one, is to finish up the non-rarity plovers. Snowy Plover and Mountain Plover, I have my eye on you. (Sadly, a Florida mini-trip to see Snowy Plover a few weeks ago needed to be cancelled due to illness, but I will not let that be an omen, just an accident.)

So, here is my 2014 list. I began the year in New Jersey, quickly moved on to Florida (where I was felled by the flu but managed to see the LaSagra’s Flycatcher, thanks to fellow blogger Carlos and several purple birds), and am now scooping up as many northeast winter birds as I can before going south again.

Notes on the list: This list is in eBird order. Bolded names are life birds; italicized names are ABA birds; * marks exotic species, not an ABA-countable bird. Links are to photographs or Queensgirl blog entries. If a bird is listed as “bvd” or “heard only”, it is a species that I have already seen and counted as a life bird.

Written by Donna

Having been attached to books all her life, Donna Lynn Schulman is thrilled to be engaged in a passion that requires fealty to an information artifact called a “field guide.” A former labor educator and labor relations library director at two large universities, Donna also reviewed books for Library Journal for 15 years (totaling over 100 titles), and has contributed articles on to academic journals and monographs. She wrote her first birding book review for the Queens County Bird Club’s News & Notes, which she formerly edited, and also reviews books for Birding magazine. Donna discusses birding books with Nate Swick and other members of the Birding Book Club on the American Birding Association Podcast several times a year, including the popular Best Birding Books of The Year. When she is not birding in Queens or working on her nature photography, Donna travels to Los Angeles, where she attempts to turn her granddaughter into a birder.
