With patience, timing and help from the photography gods, a roseate spoonbill appears (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Special thanks to Donald H. for asking a great question. Here is the answer: Throughout human history, intelligent, curious people who struggled to understand the world they lived in invented gods to explain it. A prime example is the natural phenomenon that we call thunder. Today we know lightning causes thunder, and that lightning results from static electricity between the Earth and its atmosphere. But if you donât know what static electricity is, you need some other explanation. In Greek m

September is the time of year when the world starts thinking about shutting down for the winter. I have already seen hints of color on certain maple trees, and the days have become noticeably shorter. I feel a thrill every time I log onto BirdCast (Cornell Universityâs radar-based bird tracking venture) and see evidence of hundreds of millions of birds moving from north to south during the night.

The most vivid memory I have of seeing a Canada warbler is an old one, all the way back to the end of the 20th century. I was on a springtime hike up the mighty Mount Monadnock, one of New Hampshireâs great hiking destinations. I was still in my 20s and thought it was perfectly reasonable to climb the mountain while carrying every single piece of photography equipment that I owned at the time. Boy was I stupid. The base of Monadnock is covered with mature forest, but as you climb higher and hi

By the time you read this column, the 2026-27 school year will already be underway. The first few days of school are just meant for the teachers and the students will arrive later. It is one of those annual events that can cause tremendous feelings of excitement, anxiety, hope and fear. What the students will feel I have no idea. I have spent the past two months trying my best to charge up my batteries; to fill my spare tanks with as much happiness, calm and joy as I possibly can. For me, this m
