Will bird tour agencies, guides, eco-lodges survive? Will the threatened species make it through if there are no birding tourists to make those birds and their habitats valuable to local people just the way they are (as opposed to tropical timber)? What will be left of birding tourism? That is how I feel.

Travel, of course, links quite nicely with seeing new birds, if you’re into that kind of thing. The promised Northern Fulmar were easily spotted from atop the cliffs, but another species made more of an impression. Corey is loving the sun and sand and rum and birds in Barbados. What was your best bird of the weekend?

Sometimes the birds we see take a lot of work. It’s exhausting, and after I’ve read these accounts, well, it’s enough to put you off ever birding again. Now me, I like knowing about the rare birds, but its also really nice to know about what’s really common at a site too. One of those, for sure.

We assume natural selection has shaped birds to avoid predators. Noticing predators, reacting to them perhaps with an alarm call, and escaping them, as well as other behaviors, keep the bird alive and thus allow it to reproduce. We would expect, then, that natural selection favors birds that are good at these things.
