BRUCE MACTAVISH: What’s in a neck band? A birding experience to die for (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was late August 1980 when I was birdwatching in a small cove on the Great Northern Peninsula. It was low tide. There were several sandpipers and a bunch of semipalmated plovers running around on the exposed mud. I noticed an exceptionally well-marked semipalmated plover among the crowd. The breast band was thicker and the head markings contrasted more with the rest of the bird. This bird was like no semipalmated plover I had ever seen.

BRUCE MACTAVISH: Rare birds and plentiful food sources a boon for birdwatchers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A couple of columns ago, I mentioned how the number of visiting bird watchers increases the probability of rare birds being found during the summer. In mid-June a rare tricoloured heron was discovered in Lockston Path Provincial Park by a birder from Pennsylvania. It was not a new bird for the provincial list, but it was the first time it was seen for a good many Newfoundland and Labradorian birders. Well, it happened again.
