Males are currently showing off their tawny red body feathers with bright blue bills set off against creamy cheeks. The females remain camouflaged brown with creamy cheek patches, good for sitting on nests unobserved. They’ll be \u003ca title=\"Aquarium of the Pacific, ruddy ducks information\" href=\"http://www.aquariumofpacific.org/onlinelearningcenter/species/ruddy_duck\" target=\"_blank\">migrating to Prairie Potholes\u003c/a> soon where they’ll build nests in reeds suspended over shallow water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enchanting \u003ca title=\"Northern Pintail ID, Cornell website\" href=\"http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Pintail/lifehistory\" target=\"_blank\">Northern pintail\u003c/a> ducks remind me of graceful ballerinas. Their slim shape and longish neck -- accented by a “racing stripe” of feathers on the males -- and elegant head are the essence of refinement. The male’s tail, which have the longest tail feathers in the duck world, gives them their name. They seem to be continually enacting “Swan Lake,” including their habit of dabbling by tipping, butts up, to feed on underwater vegetation and insects. They’ll be migrating to freshwater ponds from California and northeast as far as Canada and Alaska.

The goal is a worthy one: to try and capture over the course of a weekend a significant sampling of all the birds wherever people find them –- especially targeting urban areas around our neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’re probably wondering, “How can I get in on this amazing, easy event?” You simply step outside into your nearest outdoor space –- your yard, balcony, neighborhood park, or even a street -– and identify and count as many bird species as you can see over the course of 15 minutes. The \u003ca title=\"Great Backyard Bird Count website: how to\" href=\"http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/howto.html\" target=\"_blank\">GBBC website\u003c/a> has some links to help you, from bird lists to bird identification pages. After your short bird watching session, you can go to the website to report your findings. That’s it. Your efforts will help us double our reports from last year!

I was looking over the report for last year and noticed that San Francisco and Oakland combined reports totaled just over 100 while Sacramento turned in over 200 reports. In the name of good fun and science, let’s see if we can beat Sacramento’s record from last year!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is a young event, only sixteen years old, compared to the Christmas Bird Count, which is 112 years old. It’s already \u003ca title=\"Audubon website; GBBC goes global feb 15-18 2013\" href=\"http://www.audubon.org/newsroom/press-releases/2013/great-backyard-bird-count-goes-global-feb-15-18\" target=\"_blank\">gone international\u003c/a>, though, with countries participating around the globe. The goal is a worthy one: to try and capture over the course of a weekend a significant sampling of all the birds wherever people find them –- especially targeting urban areas around our neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’re probably wondering, “How can I get in on this amazing, easy event?” You simply step outside into your nearest outdoor space –- your yard, balcony, neighborhood park, or even a street -– and identify and count as many bird species as you can see over the course of 15 minutes. The \u003ca title=\"Great Backyard Bird Count website: how to\" href=\"http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/howto.html\" target=\"_blank\">GBBC website\u003c/a> has some links to help you, from bird lists to bird identification pages. After your short bird watching session, you can go to the website to report your findings. That’s it. Your efforts will help us double our reports from last year! You can, of course, watch for longer than 15 minutes and submit more than one list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_49594\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 379px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2013/02/15/bay-area-bird-challenge/eurasiancollareddove1_debbie_hurlbert_fl_2012_high/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-49594\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-49594\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2013/02/EurasianCollaredDove1_Debbie_Hurlbert_FL_2012_high-379x253.jpg\" alt=\"Some birds, like this non-native Eurasian collared dove, are expanding their territories.
