Beautiful Bird Portraits from Space Coast

10,000 Birds

Back in 2012 when I made my first foray to the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival I put up back -to- back posts featuring up-close-and-personal shots of some of the cooperative birds I encountered. Considering that I am still recovering from driving back to New York from Florida after the blizzard that crushed the northeastern United States wreaked havoc with air travel, I thought that I would put up a similar post now, mostly because I don’t have to think as much to put up pictures

Mylan Engel Jr and Kathie Jenni on Philosophy

Animal Ethics

Philosophy differs from many intellectual disciplines in that it is fundamentally a normative discipline. Unlike those disciplines whose primary aim is to describe various phenomena, philosophy aims to evaluate our views, attitudes, and behavior. At the societal level, philosophy seeks to identify and critically evaluate the cultural assumptions and dogmas of the day, exposing indefensible assumptions as mere prejudice.

10,000 Birds

Stuck inside with the blizzard? Tired of watching the National Zoo’s panda ? We’ve got your birding fix right here.

Last Flight for Operation Migration

10,000 Birds

It looks like Whooping Cranes will have to find another way to fly. The U.S. federal government’s Operation Migration program, which has used ultralight aircraft to teach migration routes to the endangered cranes, has flown its last group of Whoopers from Wisconsin to Florida. Over 15 years, the program sought to boost the cranes’ numbers and enable them to someday flourish without intervention.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of January 2016)

10,000 Birds

Alas, now that the Arizona Cardinals have fallen to the Carolina Panthers, we face the prospect of a Super Bowl without bird-themed football teams. So, do you prefer rambunctious horses or big cats better? I got a good dose of seaducks this weekend up at the mouth of Irondequoit Bay; the most interesting species amidst the mixed flocks was a lone Bufflehead hobnobbing with Common Goldeneyes.

Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of January 2016?

10,000 Birds

Now that the U.S. federal government has nearly secured all of its National Wildlife Refuges from the hands of armed militants, we can all get back to celebrating our Constitutional right to go birding. This is, in fact, a universal right, so everyone should chase some birds this weekend for freedom! I’m working most of the weekend, which will keep me from going after some of the winter specialties I still crave.

London’s Wetland Wonderland

10,000 Birds

My first ever story for 10,000 Birds was about the wonderful city reserve of Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, here in Wellington, a city that has been my home for 9 years this week. To celebrate this I thought I’d talk about an urban reserve on the other side of the world, because my introductions are nothing if not tenuous. Actually, there are connections, like Karori (or Zealandia as we must now call it) this reserve is a reclamation of a defunct reservoir to be repurposed as a popular nature

Daily Pond Birding on Okaloosa Island

10,000 Birds

I have journeyed far and wide to bird, awestruck in national parks, windswept on top of mountains, mosquito-bitten in mangrove swamps, and more. But sometimes, like this month, I haven’t been able to get anywhere with the express intent of birding and birding alone. As a result, I have turned to a local pond I pass every day on the way to work.

A Grey-tailed Tattler flagged In Taiwan returns annually

10,000 Birds

Along the coast around Broome and inland at the ephemeral lakes there are large numbers of shorebirds and often the same individuals return annually to the same location when they return from their northward migration. We regularly walk the beach in Broome between the Port and the Town Beach area and it is a particularly good beach for observing shorebirds at close range.

Eurasian Wigeons

10,000 Birds

I have tried for what seems to be a long time to get a decent photo of a Eurasian Wigeon ( Anas penelope ) drake. Not that the female Eurasian Wigeon is not exciting to view but she looks a lot like the female American Wigeon. This is a shot of the American Wigeon ( Anas americana ) drake. Click photos for full sized images. And the American Wigeon pair.
