Rose-breasted Grosbeak

The Rose-breasted Grosbeak seems to sing only on refreshing mornings and evenings. This bird is cool, almost always fleeting, and has the looks to back it up.

Cape May Warbler

The Cape May Warbler really has very little to do with Cape May. Found in this New Jersey town by George Ord, and later described by Alexander Wilson, the bird didn’t reappear in Cape May, New Jersey for another century.

Maui and Guam: Fix the Problem with a Problem

Islands like Maui and Guam are gorgeous places to visit, but from a conservation standpoint, the situation is grim.

Black-and-white Warbler

A favorite of mine is the Black-and-white Warbler. These birds are frequent migrants, their high contrast body creating a striking appearance. Their long hind claws and heavy legs help them to nimbly maneuver through forest habitats.
