Good news for those frightened by the title of my last blog post – we are now back in the safe and boring world of highly descriptive headers. You are welcome. Laifengshan is a forested hill in Tengchong, Yunnan – it seems it was used as the local cemetery in the past, as there are many crumbling graves along the paths leading to the top. It is a well-known birding spot, and a low-budget alternative to Baihualing.

Has the dawning of a new year ever felt as glorious as this one? Not only do we symbolically leave the horrors of 2020 behind us, but we just as symbolically wipe clean our year list to refresh our appreciation of even our most common birds. I’d ask where you’re birding this weekend, but– like both me and Corey –you’ve probably already started!

It’s 2021! What was your first bird of the year? Hopefully it will start off a year with vaccines for all and a beginning of a return to normalcy. This year, 2021, has to be better than the dumpster fire that was 2020, right? Happy New Year to you from the 10,000 Birds crew! May your year be filled with lifers! The post What Was Your First Bird of 2021?

Last week I humbly offered up a totally unprofessional, possibly misinformed guide to taking bird photos that aren’t completely embarrassing, and that might even make you proud on occasion. Those suggestions were for birders like me, who are not all about taking that one perfect photo. Our focus is on seeing as many birds as possible on a given outing.

So many different factors contribute to the quality and quantity of a birding adventure that one would be hard-pressed to predict the very best time to watch birds in a particular area beyond a vague three or four week window. However, one weekend always delivers on the promise of some of the most thrilling and non-judgmental birding encounters of any year.

The overwhelming sentiment in Christmas cards this year is that 2021 cannot come fast enough. Lock downs and restrictions have curbed our birding, so if you can summon any blessings to mind, count them instead. December’s beats found 609 birds after submitting 116 checklists from 8 countries (USA, UK, Costa Rica, China, Mexico, Serbia and Australia).

2020, one of the more memorable and infamous tear years of our lives, is finally done. It doesn’t mean that various issues and problems have disappeared, but at least a new calendar year is a fine excuse for renewal. In the birding realm, it means a new year list, beginning the year with winter birds, and planning trips for the next 12 months.

Can you believe that we’re already one-twelfth of the way through this year? One can only hope 2021 gets more exciting–in a good, healthy, and interconnected way, of course–in the coming months. If you haven’t figured out where to visit first once the world opens up, watch this space: we’re going to sharing ideas for your next big birding trip all of February.

This is the second post in the Birding crème de la crème series (the first, focused on southern Asia, is here ). This time we travel to Africa, or to narrow it further, to the Afrotropical region (since the north of the continent avifaunally belongs to the Palearctic). The bird-richest region of Africa is its equatorial East: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi (unlike the rest, the last one, Burundi, is politically unstable and not recommendable).

Cold is subjective. At least how a person feels about temperature. It’s true! I have heard many people in Costa Rica mention the freezing cold weather, or how cold it is… when it’s 65 degrees. If I had grown up only knowing warm, humid weather, I would feel the same. But I didn’t grow up in the tropics. As much as I dig the biodiversity, experiencing the constant production and growth and profusion of life at all levels, I grew up in much colder places.

One of the nice things about winter finch irruptions is that they usually take place across two calendar years, allowing ardent listers to tick the very same species in January for their new year lists as they saw in the final weeks of the previous year. After all, it could be years before some of them come back again. This strategy is even more important given this winter’s “super flight” currently taking place in eastern North America, which is seeing one of the most impressive and southward i

While the fourth weekend of January finds us all mired in the depths of whatever season grips our part of the world, the light is ever so slowly changing. Another couple of months of a little more or less light at dusk every day will soon trigger that global migration of birds we all eagerly await. Until then, make the most of what we have today. What I have is a typical Upstate New York winter, so this weekend was about adding more typical Upstate New York winter birds.

Last week I introduced you to the Kimberley Flycatcher – Microeca tormenti. This species is easier to find in Derby than Broome and the Derby wharf is a good place to go and observe them. The Kimberley Flycatcher had previously been a sub-species of the Lemon-bellied Flycatcher , but is now a species in its own right as of August 2019. The significant visible difference between the Lemon-bellied Flycatcher and the Kimberley Flycatcher is the lack of “lemon” colour in the Kimber

It was the best of years, it was the worst of years… Oh, who am I kidding? 2020 was the worst of years, through and through. And there were moments during the year when I thought birding was a lost cause. But, looking back at year’s end, it wasn’t all that bad… at least as far as my avian passion is concerned. Of course, it could have been much better, even regarding that hobby.

2021 is already well underway, are you birding? I hope so because watching a flock of redpolls bound through wintery airs that echo with the calls of crows is nature connection magic. Tracking the soaring of a Bateleur in hot African skies is a lifetime gift. Watching Baltimore Orioles consort with Blue-gray Tanagers as Great Kiskadees throw down their wings and yell is the perfect start to any day.

During the second weekend of the year, even common birds still carry their luster. Enjoy that feeling while you can, because we are still months away from migration! While I sought rarities on the western edge of Rochester this weekend, I came up with entirely common species. Still, I rarely get tired of seeing large flocks of Long-tailed Ducks in their striking plumage.

It always surprises me when people compliment my photographs. As I have often commented on this site, I started taking photos of birds only to improve the accuracy of my IDs. And while I put more effort into taking decent photos than I used to, I still don’t do the hard stuff. I don’t greet the dawn in a camouflaged hide, and I don’t lie down on mudflats to see Sandpipers at ground level.

I’m moving house at the end of this month, which provided a good opportunity for me to dig around my modest wine cellar – my basement, that is – for any older bottles of aging wine that might be ripe for enjoyment. I figure the less I have to pack, the better. I unearthed this 2013 Laguna de la Nava, a Spanish Gran Reserva wine bottled by Bodegas Navarro Lopez in Valdepeñas, a Denominación de Origen Protegida region in the province of Ciudad Real, about one hundred miles south of Madrid.

One of the advantages of cycling around Broome on the many bike paths is that you observe more birds than you would if you travelled by vehicle. For most of the year the weather is perfect for cycling and when there is cyclonic weather about it is not recommended that you travel at all. Over recent weeks we have been watching the activity at a telecommunication tower between the airport and Frederick Street opposite the Broome Senior High School.
