There are countless field guides and other birding books, websites, blogs, tour companies, and podcasts. The ABA’s mission statement is vague: “The American Birding Association inspires all people to enjoy and protect wild birds.” Listing has largely shifted to eBird , which now plays a central role in birding.

No matter how much we do to protect the breeding grounds of Neotropical migrants, we can’t assure the safety of those species that lose essential wintering habitat. Protecting even the most range-limited species sometimes requires that we look well beyond our respective borders.

Ka’ena Point is also a breeding ground for the Federally protected Laysan albatross, where 45 nests were being carefully monitored by the non-profit Pacific Rim Conservation.

If you think it is rather pretentious to start a birding blog post with a Kafka story, I fully agree with you. Meanwhile, on Chongming island, I rescued a Northern Shoveler which got caught in one of these evil, almost invisible strings that the farmers use to protect their fields from hungry birds. Did the bird thank me? Did it f*ck.

Bells keep cats from catching birds,” wrote Maureen Eiger, whose original furious email was the inspiration for this blog. The list goes on, but the blog must end. Do not learn about how to care for wild birds from the internet: do take the bird to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. And so do those stupid scrunchies!”. Probably not.
