'Gujarat, December 2010. Target for today: critically endangered Sociable Lapwing ( Vanellus gregarius ). The official definition of CR status says the species could be gone within ten years, or could lose 80 per cent of its population within three generations – whichever comes first. CR being the highest category in the Red List , if I want to see some of those birds, I better hurry!

'Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see the world from the perpective of your dog or cat? What about a cow? Or even a chicken? Pet Cam: The World Through the Lens of Our Four-Legged Friends is full of wonderful photos from animal photographers! And yes, they aren’t all just dogs and cats (although there are many of those). We are giving away a copy of Petcam to one lucky reader.

'I started this blog 11 years ago today. It''s not quite dead, because I still post statistics every month, but I no longer post anything substantive. Evidently, some people still find its posts useful.

'Kathi Borgmann and Josh Beck are living the dream of many a North American birder. They packed up in June of 2013 and headed south from San Diego with the southern tip of South America as their destination. Like so many trips this one is more about the journey than the destination which brings us to why they have had a series of guest posts on 10,000 Birds.

'I’m not quite sure why I started thinking about Sooty Terns today, but once I did couldn’t get them out of my mind so I may as well harness that and do a post on them. They are, I think, the most numerous species of seabird in the tropical Pacific I haven’t done a post on yet. If not, then certainly the loudest. Their name in Hawaiian is ewa ewa, literally “cacophony”, and another name for the species is wideawake tern, which is how they’ll leave you at first

'When you monitor a species of birds over many years you learn a lot from your observations and you soon become aware of the fact that some birds are just better at parenting than others. Of the sixteen pairs of Pied Oystercatchers between Gantheaume Point and Willie Creek on the south side, which is a length of breeding territories covering 23 kilometres-just over 14 miles-only one chick fledges most years.

'Positive reinforcement tells me that I should be finding snakes in Houston, TX. The first one was found simply by accident, but consistent herpetological luck at Houston’s Arboretum makes me look harder and longer until I find one. It took two visits during this trip, but I was rewarded with a very intimate look at a charming little snake. This is the Gulf Coast Ribbon Snake Thamnophis proximus orarius.

'We were at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in central Queens on Sunday afternoon. We being me, Daisy, and Desi, having a grand old time watching Desi play with the remote control car he got for his birthday, the remote control airplane having crashed and been temporarily put out of service on its maiden flight. Desi was running around like crazy chasing the car which he was controlling and finding it hilarious when he managed to crash it into either of his parents’ feet.

'Birders can often be predictable. For example, even though you know I am The Greatest Ornithologist, it would surprise none of you to know that I still grind my teeth and frequently break into sweats because I was not able to go chase the Olive-backed Pipit found last month in southern California (a state record). When a friend of mine told me he saw the pipit from 20 feet away, I responded by telling him to “eat sh*t and die” But let’s face it… it’s not difficult

'We Americans have it lucky this weekend with most of us enjoying a long four days off from work while we stuff ourselves with turkey and pie to celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s a good thing that birds don’t similarly overindulge or the Monk Parakeets above would never get off the ground! Corey will be spending very little time this weekend birding as he has social plans, work plans, and writing-a-book plans.

'Did you enjoy the last normal weekend of your calendar year? Hopefully, you indulged in your favorite expressions of banality and lethargy while you could; now that the holiday season is kicking off, the pressure is on! I took a run up to the lake and picked out several sharp Ring-necked Ducks amidst the abundant Mallards. Corey was extremely lucky this weekend to get a Cassin’s Kingbird , the second record for the species in New York State.
