STAFF BLOG WILDWINGS Noooooo!
I guess it's only fair. I have acquired a few life birds "in the mail," as it is said, I suppose it's only fitting that some would be taken away in the same fashion. The posting on the ABA's blog two...

Holiday gift ideas for the birder in your life
Christmas shopping has never been a strong area for me. I’m not entirely sure why, it just happens to be that way. I think the hype and hustle of the season blur my ability to reason clearly and I end up buying something spontaneously, something a little odd, or – worst of all – something unwanted.

Flight Lines: Sharp snowy owl contrast between last two winters
We are under an invasion. Unlike Orson Welles’ 1938 radio adaptation of H. G. Wells’ novel, War of the Worlds, this one is real and it’s coming from the north.

Outdoor oddities always pique a birder’s curiosity
Just by happenstance – I call it luck – I live in the same West Fargo neighborhood as North Dakota Game and Fish Department biologist, Doug Leier. Not only have we watched each other’s children grow through the years, but we’ve shared many outdoors stories. They’re often a little unconventional; such was the case just last week.

Flight Lines: Leaf drop reveals handiwork of nesting birds
Remove the leaves from trees and all manner of secrets are exposed to the world. Secrets which had been hidden for the summery months in the dappled verdant bosom of leaf canopy now lay bare and vulnerable to chilly autumn winds.

Flight Lines: Pelican colony destruction strikes a chord
Like almost every morning, last Friday found me leafing through the pages of the Forum newspaper. Separating this day from most was a story on page A7 which carried the following headline: “Farmer ‘flipped out’ at pelicans.”

Flight Lines: Noise maker lives most of life underground, emergence tied to warm summer days
The first time I remember hearing it was in 1983 while living in Columbus, Miss. By the time summer arrived, things were as hot and sticky as this North Dakota native had ever experienced.

Flight Lines: When it comes to the outdoors, it’s all habitat
Years ago I tried looking for Baird’s sparrow in Cass County. I knew this sought-after songbird was a grassland specialist and, well, there’s grass in Cass County isn’t there? Little did I know how ridiculous this errant quest was. A friend of mine gently but surely led me to realize I was wasting my time. The bird just won’t be here. I was confusing habitat with range.

Songbird vocalizations unique to each species
Just last weekend I found myself in the cell phone parking lot at Fargo’s Hector Airport waiting for family members to return from a brief trip. It was a pleasant afternoon with ample sunshine and little wind. My vehicle windows were down.

Flight Lines: Pitfalls of perception and expectations
Reality can be an elusive thing, or at least our perception of it. I’m no psychologist but I am well aware that what we think we see or hear might be light years apart from what is actually taking place.

I wonder just how many residents of the Red River Valley have ever heard of a place called Cape May, New Jersey. Not a lot I’d say. Of those that have, I would venture to guess a good portion consists of bird watchers.
