A Non-Lethal Solution for Both Wildlife and Feral Cats

10,000 Birds

What can be done to solve the intractable problem of wildlife and feral cats? Ask Peter Paonessa. Peter, who lives in New York State, noticed two feral cats living near his house. He trapped them, provided veterinary care for them, and released them … into his basement. Prior to their release he arranged his basement with litter boxes, a bed, and places to hide.

Big Years: towards a fair competition ?

10,000 Birds

Now that the World Big Year record has been broken by Noah Stryker , with more than three months and much of Asia and Australia to go, I guess a blog post on Big Years is in order. Big Years are an inheritantly unfair competition for a variety of reasons. Of course they have nothing to do with the quality or knowledge of a birder since they are primarily a function of a) dedication b) time c) money and d) a good internet connection.

Birding Adventure in Mexico Part II: Durango Highway

10,000 Birds

The Durango Highway is arguably one of North America’s great birding roads due to the great variety of habitats, the spectacular mountain scenery of the Sierra Madre Occidental, and the numerous Mexican endemics one can target. Thus, I looked forward to this second portion of the trip with great anticipation. After finishing up near San Blas (and unsuccessfully searching for Rufous-necked Wood-Rail ), Andrew Spencer, Nathan Pieplow, and I continued our journey to the low foothills where t

Kutras Lake and the California Gull

10,000 Birds

Gulls have always been a challenge to me. Maybe it’s because I don’t see them often, or seek them out, or even try to better my gull ID skills. It just seems so challenging. I mean you have two year gulls, three year gulls and even gulls that take four years to mature, and the plumage of all these species changes as they mature. On top of that, they occur in breeding and non-breeding plumage!

What’s In a Name: Eleonora’s Falcon

10,000 Birds

As this series has already shown us, ornithological nomenclature is often a game of utter nepotism. Got a buddy whose birthday you forgot? Thinking about hitting someone up for a loan? Name a bird after them to butter them up! I’m pretty sure that both Machiavelli and Miss Manners have discussed the issue at length. So when I mentioned the Eleonora’s Falcon in my last post , you may have assumed that the name was a mother’s day present, or an engagement gift from some impecunio

Holding Ponds and Spray Fields Mean Shorebirds

10,000 Birds

There’s really only one thing that will roll me out of bed before first light on a Saturday: the possibility of seeing birds. I threw on some clothes, slung my binoculars and camera into the car, and headed off to the meeting point for a morning bird walk with the Choctawhatchee Bay Audubon Society. We started off in a quiet park inside a suburban neighborhood, but though I always enjoy Red-eyed Vireos , Carolina Chickadees , and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds , I was more excited about the bi

Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of September 2015)

10,000 Birds

An interesting aspect of September weather, at least in temperate climes, is its maddening mutability. Only in September do I find need for both the air conditioner and heater in the span of just a few hours! Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was one of several good birds that I, he, and his buddy Seth spotted in Kissena Corridor Park on Saturday morning.

Predicting My Next Ten Queens Birds

10,000 Birds

Way back on 16 May I managed to see my 312 bird species in Queens to add to my Queens list. Somehow I forgot that the last time I predicted what the next ten species I would see in Queens would be was back on 30 December 2013, when my list was sitting at 302. Therefore I shall now see how I did with my last set of predictions and also make my predictions for my next ten.

Fitzroy Crossing low level bridge birding

10,000 Birds

On our recent camping and birding trip away we passed through the small town of Fitzroy Crossing, which is the next town along the Great Northern Highway heading north and is approximately 400 kilometres from Broome. It is on the banks of the Fitzroy River, which floods during the wet season months each year. The river levels are currently low and offer water to the surrounding birds and wildlife.

Republicans Out to Destroy Nature Again

10,000 Birds

Alisa Opar over at Audubon has a good rundown of how bad this Congress is for the environment. If in 2016 the Republicans hold on to the House and Senate and manage to take the Presidency the damage that will be done to our environment will be disastrous. This year there’s been a concerted campaign in Congress to hobble major regulations that safeguard animals, land, air, and water.

Clearing up the Collared Kingfishers

10,000 Birds

All the way back in 2011 I wrote about the confusing taxanomic enigma that is the Collared Kingfisher , a species that ranges from the Red Sea to Tonga in a bewildering variety of forms. I’m happy to report that an analysis of the species and some relatives has found that, as suspected, it isn’t a single species. In fact there are a whole lot of kingfishers that are new for armchair tickers with the Tuamoto and Micronesian Kingfisher (both in the same genus) being split too.
