Most, or at least many, traditional bird books have a section in the back for rare birds, occasionals or accidentals, which one might see now and then.

					<description><![CDATA[Birds don&#8217;t live in nests. They make nests for specific purposes, use them for that purpose, then abandon them. Or, sometimes they don&#8217;t abandon them, but rather add on and use them again and again, but in between they don&#8217;t live in or on them. Well, sometimes they hang out on them a lot.

					<description><![CDATA[Birdwatching might be a casual activity, a hobby, an avocation, or even a profession (often, perhaps, an obsession) depending on the bird watcher, but there is always a science to it, in at least two ways. First, there is the science of how to do it. In this sense, the term &#8220;science&#8221; means something vernacular. &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2009/06/14/the-science-of-birdwatching/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The Science of Birdwatching</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
