10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 1, 2019

We encounter a family participating in a hawk watch count at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park; birder and activist Madeleine Sandefur, who introduces us to Sabal Palms Sanctuary in Brownsville, on the south side of a border wall built in 2009; and birders who are actually birding, identifying an oriole (Altamira rather than Hooded).

10,000 Birds

However very few birders ever venture to areas off this well-beaten track, so with this in mind, I decided to explore a fascinating but ornithologically little known corner of Ethiopia in January 2012, to see what surprises awaited me. As the sky turned rosy with dawn, we stopped for some excellent additions to our burgeoning bird list.

If you had your choice of one bird family to pursue, to seek out and observe and photograph and kvell over, which one would you choose? A passion for one bird family is also very useful. Like all talented travel writers, Dunn is adept at drawing us into his experiences.
