10,000 Birds

Last but not least were not one but TWO new species of blackbird for me, both Yellow-hooded and Red-breasted ! And unlike a cheap meal at a fast food joint, this banquet of birds remained satisfying long after we left! But the birds already mentioned came out so quickly that we felt fully sated in minutes.

The western half of the continent sees a lot of Brewer’s Blackbirds mixed in. And in the free-flying aviary that is Florida you can easily be shocked by what you find, but White Ibis seem to show a surprising affinity to the local fast food joints. And in parts of the Rockies, Clark’s Nutcracker reigns supreme.

The beech forests were dense, landscapes stunning, only that wind… Birds were hiding from it, too, with mostly t**s ( Coal , Long-tailed and Great ), a few thrushes ( Mistle , Song and Eurasian Blackbird ) and numerous Common Chaffinches showing. A short stop at the wind swept ridge and a hasty retreat to a lower elevation pine forest.
