Excellent concept Laura. Good luck with the pursuit.

Well, I pulled the list from various conservation lists–it’s a list of birds of conservation interest, but I certainly won’t see many of them. I of course hope there are Eskimo Curlews out there, but have absolutely no expectation, or even hope, that I’ll ever see one.

I sure hope you find that Eskimo Curlew. If you do, make sure you get infallible proof. Good luck!

I wrote a blogpost about Evening Grosbeaks last month–more about what’s happening to them here in the Midwest, but the same thing has happened throughout the eastern half of the continent. http://lauraerickson.blogspot.com/2012/01/evening-grosbeaks-what-is-happening.html

Do you have any idea what has happened to the Evening Grosbeak?? In the 70ties here in Western Pennsylvania we had some very severe winters, and with them came flocks and flocks and hoardes of the beautiful grosbeaks. I didn’t even mind that they ate voraciously and had to fill the feeders often. There were SO MANY OF THEM!!!! We had a lot of ice and snow in those winters especially ice and frigid temps. Now for I’d say the last 20 years or so I have not seen even ONE OF THOSE BIRDS!! I really miss them and have been thinking about how long it’s been without seeing even one. Where are they now and is it that they don’t move around or have they been wiped out?? Hopefully not.
