Birding

Pat’s Year List, it’s 2016!

January 23, 2016 by Patrick O'Donnell 6 Comments

Another year, another list. That’s January for birding. Coming from Niagara Falls, New York, it also means freezing, bitter cold, watching for imaginary Polar Bears while pretending to walk through an Arctic landscape, and looking for owls. On the other side of the weather coin, now that I live in Costa Rica, the first month of the year also means warm sunny days punctuated by windy weather, and migrants like Yellow Warblers and Baltimore Orioles sharing green space with Blue-gray Tanagers and other avian locals. This year, visiting Niagara Falls until January 6th gave me the chance to experience a bit of both latitudes.

locals and migrants

The locals don’t always get along with the migrants.

A cold, productive day spent birding with a friend from Buffalo was marked by two owls, lots of ducks, Tundra Swans, several gulls, and other targets not possible in tropical Costa Rica.

Long-eared Owl

This Long-eared Owl from Golden Hill was a bonus.

Snowy Owl

So was this Snowy Owl.

It was a gift to be reacquainted with trusty birds of winter like American Tree Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, Black-capped Chickadee, along with less reliable ones like Wild Turkey, a Red-necked Grebe bobbing up and down on the harsh waters of Lake Ontario, and a trio of Harlequin Ducks riding the rapids above the falls.

Lesser Black-backed Gull

It was also cool to see a beautiful Lesser Black-backed Gull.

Yes, good to be reacquainted but one day of freezing cold was enough, and a reminder to look forward to Costa Rica. On the ride back home, scanning from an airport window during a lay-over in Orlando gave me Pied-billed Grebe, and a major bonus- three Sandhill Cranes flying in the distance! I was also hoping for Boat-tailed Grackle but no feathered dice there.

Back in Costa Rica, walks through coffee and fields near the house, and a few other day trips have upped the list to 250 species. As blasphemous as this will sound, the best so far was not the Golden-browed Chlorophonias, Yellow-thighed Finches, or even Red-headed Barbet seen at Cinchona. No, the best sighting so far goes to the White-eyed Vireo twitched at a yard near Turrialba. This chatty bird might be common elsewhere but in Costa Rica, it’s a rare vagrant, and mostly during spring migration. One has been hanging out at Birds for Beer blogger Paul Pickering’s place, and when we were there, I could see why. By simply letting the vegetation grow back, Paul has created a green oasis that brings in the birds.

White-eyed Vireo

White-eyed Vireo! 

The year has just started, there are hundreds of other bird species to look for, I wonder if I can reach 700 species for Costa Rica by December 31st?

**As of December 30th, 680 species made it onto my year list for Costa Rica. The rest are from the western New York area, looking for birds through the windows of the Orlando airport between flights, and Israel.

Written by Patrick O'Donnell
Patrick O'Donnell became a birder at the age of 7 after seeing books about birds in the Niagara Falls, New York public library. Although watching thousands of gulls in the Niagara Gorge was sublime, more bird species (and warmer weather) eventually brought him to Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and other very birdy tropical places. A biologist by training, he has worked on bird-related projects in Colorado, Washington, Peru, and other locales, and has guided birders in Peru, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. These days, he lives in Costa Rica where he juggles guiding, freelance writing, developing bird apps for Costa Rica and Panama, posting on his Costa Rica birding blog, and discussing dinosaurs with his young daughter.
