The hills and valleys of the town, with all their shrubbery and other vegetation, and the brooks and meadows with their moats and swamps, are well-known to· her ; and the varioµs animals that live on the land or in the-water are equally familiar. The birds even seem to know that she is a lover of their species, and they are always ready to answer her calls when she imi-, tates their notes.

    New Hampshire Bird Records Fall 2000 Vol. 19, No. 3 About the Cover by Rebecca Suomala and Arthur C. Borror The drawing of a Sooty Tern on the cover was done by Dr. Arthur C. Borror when he acquired two dead specimens. According to Dr. Borror: “In 1979 there was a hurricane (I believe it was David) that deposited several Sooty Terns along the New England coast. One day Tudor Richards and I were leading an Audubon Society of New Hampshire coast field trip when we salvaged an adult. I subsequently prepared the speci- men as a study skin and gave it to Audubon in return for a mounted spec- imen of a female Passenger Pigeon that I added to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Collection of Vertebrates. In the same storm, UNH also received an immature Sooty Tern, whose skin I prepared for the UNH collection.” Dr. Borror was a professor at the University of New Hampshire at the time and pre- pared many bird skins for their collection as well as teaching bird skin preparation courses for Audubon. Since that storm, there have been no Sooty Tern reports in New Hampshire until this fall, when one was seen briefly visiting the tern colony on Seavey Island at the Isles of Shoals.

  • Fall 1999 Vol. 18 No. 3
    New Hampshire Bird Records Fall 1999 Vol. 18, No. 3 About the Cover by Rebecca Suomala Black-throated Gray Warbler seen on Star Island on September 21 and 22 A represents the first documented record for this species in New Hampshire. It was discovered feeding in the juniper trees by the cemetery on the southwest corner of the island and stayed within this small area. Despite our hopes and pleas, it never came close to our mist nets (see page 39), and, contrary to reports published elsewhere, we did not band it. Unfortunately, the New Hampshire Rare Bird Alert mistakenly reported that we had banded the bird, and this was picked up by others. I apologize for the confusion. The Black-throated Gray Warbler is a western species that does not breed east of Colorado and New Mexico. It is a handsome black-and-white bird, similar to a Blackpoll Warbler but with a black bib and cheek patch and lovely gray back. The yellow spot between the bill and eye is tiny but diagnostic, if you can see it. We had ample opportunity to observe the bird on Star Island as it fed close by. A large sea swell cancelled all ferry boats, and when good weather arrived, the bird had departed. Those of us lucky enough to be already on the island were the only ones able to see this bird. My photographs, while acceptable for documentation, were not of suitable quality for the cover of New Hampshire Bird Records – in anticipation of photographing birds in the hand, I did not bring a long lens with me to Star, and a photograph of a tiny spot was the sad result.

    New Hampshire Bird Records Fall 2001 Vol. 20, No. 3 About the Cover by Rebecca Suomala This cover photo of a Snowy Owl is by Stephen Mirick, our first “feature photogra- pher” for a New Hampshire Bird Records issue. All the photographs were taken by Steve, and all but this Snowy Owl were taken during this fall season, for which he is the Season Editor. With the increase in web technology and use and improvements in digital technology, more and more photos are being taken and shared on the web. Steve has been a leader in this effort, sharing his photos with the NH.Birds list serve and posting shots by other photographers for all to see and enjoy. In recognition of this contribution we are featuring his photographs in this issue of New Hampshire Bird Records. The Snowy Owl on the cover was actually photographed just after the end of the fall season, on December 14, 2001, but it highlights the occurrence of Snowys in November with at least five birds reported (see the season listings). The cover bird was on a golf driving range off Route 108 in Newfields, and details will be in the next issue of New Hampshire Bird Records.
