By now the January/February issue of Birding magazine has arrived in your mailboxes along with the 2013 Bird of Year stickers. Andrew Guttenberg's Common Nighthawk profile is a pretty sharp design if I do say so myself, and the stickers are a nice addition to my own bins even if I'm now wondering what I'm going to do with the 2014 edition as the real estate rapidly disappears...
We want to know what you're doing with your stickers. Even if you're just sticking them on your bins, take a photo and send it to boy AT aba.org. We''ll put together a gallery on the Bird of the Year site if we get several responses.
And be on the lookout for those Nighthawks, because there's no better field mark for an ABA member!
Since I've been birding Malhuer National Wuldlife Refuge each springin eatsern Oregon, I've come to love watching and photographing the Common Nighthawk. One highlight was close looks at one who was mist-netted. Big mouth!
