Snow-fronted Geese

10,000 Birds

'Recently I ditched the coast and headed into the bowels of the Central Valley, to meet up with an old friend…you may know him by the name “ Falcated Duck “ Falcated Duck eluded us at first, but eventually let us stare at him at will. But this post is not about Falcated Duck. We were at Colusa National Wildlife Refuge, of course, which is not only home to Falcated Duck, but many other birds.

The list includes Bachmann’s Sparrow , Red-cockaded Woodpecker , Crested Caracara , Snail Kite , and, oddly, Whooping Crane.

Washashore by Suzanne Goldsmith

10,000 Birds

'The early teen years are prime time for kids to adopt environmentalism as a cause. The human sense of fairness and empathy is strongly in place by age eight or so, while puberty sparks the sense that authority figures don’t always know best and that heady idealism that old fogies tend to see as self-righteousness. So YA and middle-grade novels with environmental themes have, it seems to me, a natural constituency.

'North American bird lovers may take special satisfaction that a team named for the mighty Osprey is battling for the NFL championship in this weekend’s Super Bowl. But does being a birder mean that you have to automatically root for the bird-themed team? What do you think? And isn’t it time we had a sports team named for the Roseate Spoonbill ?

10,000 Birds

'Tropical forests are the bastions of avian biodiversity. If you thought that migrant traps and spring in south Texas were birdalicious (and they can indeeed be spectacular), how does an ecosystem with 400 and even 500 plus species tickle your birding fancy?

'One of our favourite walks at this time of year is to walk from Town Beach in Broome to the Port in Broome and back. It is a walk that takes a couple of hours with spectacular views across Roebuck Bay with a red cliff backdrop and bright blue seas. The main attraction of this beach from September until April beyond the view and lack of people is the large flocks of shorebirds.

'An unmistakable and improbable-looking bird. -Pete Dunne. For me, one of the best parts of going to Florida for the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival is the chance to see Roseate Spoonbills. Ever since I saw my first spoonbill, a vagrant in New Jersey , I have been a bit obsessed with the big, pink, bizarrely-billed birds. Three years ago I shared a gallery of images of spoonbills at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge but I think it is time for another.
