Birding Tengchong, Yunnan, China in 2017

10,000 Birds

I visited Tengchong in late 2020 and wrote about it – but I also went there earlier, in 2017, and this post shows some photos I took during that trip, along with the usual comments that seem to be much more about ridiculing my fellow humans (especially ornithologists and the like) than providing useful information on birds.

The Falcon Thief: A Book Review

10,000 Birds

September 2017, Cerrado, Brazil. It didn’t occur to me till I started reading The Falcon Thief: A True Tale of Adventure, Treachery, and the Hunt for the Perfect Bird that there was also a possible threat to the eagle herself: poachers, who steal raptor eggs and chicks. We are cautioned to keep the location of the eagle a secret.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of May 2017)

10,000 Birds

Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was any of the five Atlantic Puffins he saw on Eastern Egg Rock off the coast of Maine. Instead, I lucked into the best sighting I’ve ever had of a male Mourning Warbler in the same spot. He’ll be sure to share pictures once he’s back home and has access to his computer again.

10,000 Birds

So on Sunday morning he looked at Big Egg Marsh, which has a larger amount of saltmarsh habitat. Dutifully, Corey headed out to Dubos Point, where there is some nice saltmarsh habitat, on Saturday afternoon and lucked into one Nelson’s Sparrow, but he didn’t get great looks.

The Juniper Titmouse Nesting Project

10,000 Birds

In 2017, my neighborhood, Aldea de Santa Fe, began a Juniper Titmouse Nesting Box Project in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s NestWatch Program. But a Bewick’s Wren did build a nest, which it promptly abandoned before laying any eggs. A total of 79 fledged, which beat our 2017 count of 52.
