Daft Caper
So I’m creeping up on 700 North American birds on my list. It stands at 696, to be precise, the last one being the Philadelphia vireo near Rangeley in Maine.
I’m heading off tomorrow with some friends to the Ruby Mountains of Nevada to look for the Himalayan snowcock. No, it doesn’t really belong there. But according to American Birding Association rules, it’s countable. The black rosy-finch that hangs around up there ought to be more satisfying…. Numenius is sensibly staying put. See you when I get back.

Have a wondrous time, dear Pica.
