What is the State Bird of South Carolina?

10,000 Birds

If you live in the eastern United States, chances are you’re familiar with the clear, loud, teakettle teakettle teakettle song that reverberates through woods and thickets. This unique sound belongs to the Carolina Wren , who unsurprisingly is the state bird of South Carolina! Adopted as the state bird in 1948 , the Carolina Wren actually superseded another species: the Northern Mockingbird.

Migration and More: A Bird News Update

10,000 Birds

With fall migration well underway everywhere, it’s a good time to see what’s flying in bird news. Prothonotary Warblers (like the dapper bird above captured for posterity by Corey) should carry frequent-flier cards—a recent Audubon-led study found that one geolocator-toting individual racked up more than 5,000 miles in eight months. Can California Condors be taught to avoid the dangers of power lines ?

What is Great Britain’s easiest tick?

10,000 Birds

It may be considered to be a trash bird by some. It is certainly thought of as a pest as far as farmers are concerned. But the Common Woodpigeon is one of the easiest ticks for any American birder passing through the UK. It can be seen anywhere there are trees or meadows. It can be seen on street lamps and crossing over motorways. Even gazing wistfully from a transit lounge will probably turn up a Columba palumbus.

10,000 Birds

We have just been away for a week camping and birding in the bush to the north of Broome and while I will give you more details of some of the places we visited in forthcoming posts I will just share with you all an encounter with a pair of Grey-fronted Honeyeaters this week. During the week the temperature hovered around 40c (104f) most days, but the humidity was incredibly low at around 5% and you really did not perspire.

10,000 Birds

L’shanah tovah to everyone celebrating the beginning of a sweet new year. For everyone else, this is as good a time as any to look forward to another twelve months of health and happiness… and birds, obviously.

Birding Greece: Black and white world

10,000 Birds

Winding between the old Olives, the road ahead of me veers into the hills of the Pelion Peninsula, near the harbour town of Volos. A movement in the corner of my eye… a buzzard. I stop the car and reach for binoculars, asking myself what other drivers think of a car parked in the middle of the road, with an elbow and binoculars protruding through the window.

Faithful Loons and Human Lunacy

10,000 Birds

Every year there manage to be two Loons out in front of the cabin, up in Minnesota’s lake country. They nest on the same, ever-expanding semi-floating but occasionally shrinking nest over behind the point, so we can’t see the nest without going across the marsh in a canoe. It is a great place to nest, but for one small detail. Behind the embayment formed by the point is a tall bluff, the edge of an ancient river valley that passed through the area during one or more (probably a few) prior interg
