The Bird 10K Project

10,000 Birds

I was told when I first started blogging here at 10,000 Birds that I was never to use the short form, “10K.” But here I’m using it because someone ELSE used it … the Bird 10K project is an effort to do the whole DNA thing they do on groups of species on the whole mess of 10K (or more) birds. This is interesting right now because the AVian Phylogenomics Consortium has just announced the Bird 10K project, which ties together a pile of previously done research with some exci

Spotlight: Laurens Wildlife Rescue

10,000 Birds

Hey – I’m not the only rehabber out here. (Do you know how many times a day wildlife rehabilitators say that, especially in the summer? Normally it’s in the context of: “Another Mourning Dove ? Didn’t I just take in eight Mourning Doves last week? Am I the only rehabber in this entire state who does Mourning Doves?”). But in the context of 10,000 Birds, I’m not the only rehabber out here with stories to tell.

Rainy Day Birding is Good Birding at Cinchona, Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

Lately, it’s been raining in Costa Rica. Mike and Corey would probably say, “So what else is new?” but really, it’s been raining for two or three weeks…and the rain hasn’t exactly stopped. It does seem to be slowing down, though, and, to be honest, the non-stop raining part seems to be restricted to the mountains and the Caribbean slope, and yes, it has stopped now and then even in those areas.

Help a Grad Student – Take a Survey on Exotic Birds

10,000 Birds

Corey Callaghan is working on his Master’s Thesis and would like to hear from birders about their opinions on exotic birds. Or, as he writes: As part of a continuation of my thesis, which was focused on nonnative birds in Florida, I have created a survey in which I’m interested in capturing birders’ opinions on exotic birds. I would really appreciate it if you could take the survey!

Away From it All: The North Cascades

10,000 Birds

“It’s the least-visited national park in the United States*,” our gracious host said as we drove up Route 20 towards the Methow Valley, through the jutting volcanic crags of North Cascades National Park. And though this part of the world has emerged onto the Washington plane crash since my visit, it’s still a vastly under-appreciated part of the country.

A Water Ouzel Nest at Lassen Volcanic National Park

10,000 Birds

One of the best things about our annual Audubon chapter’s Lassen Park campout is that we get to see several species of mountain birds that we don’t normally see in the Sacramento Valley. I know for a certainty that I will be able to see one of my favorites, the American Dipper (Cinclus mexicanus), whenever I visit Lassen Volcanic National Park.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of July 2015)

10,000 Birds

Perfect summer weekends make me feel like the War Boy Nux in Mad Max: Fury Road does when he says, “ Oh what a day. What a lovely day! ” Feeling me? I did not yet encounter my desired nighthawk, but that’s just fine with me. My favorite birds of this season are always Chimney Swifts flying over the festivals and concerts I fill my summer weekends with.

Red-collared Lorikeets

10,000 Birds

Red-collared Lorikeets are common birds around Broome and are often seen racing across the blue sky calling as they go. They can be found at various locations in the evening as they come to roost in large numbers and often appear “drunk” when they consume too much nectar! Such is the life of a tropical bird! A good way to attract any native species to your garden is to have native trees and that is what we planted when we first moved into our home in Broome.

Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of July 2015?

10,000 Birds

Keep your eyes to the skies… maybe you’ll get lucky and see wild Scarlet Macaws ! Midsummer birding can become boring if you focus solely on species counts. The general lack of longitudinal movement among birds limits most areas to the same restricted pool of resident breeders every year. However, even the most jaded among us should be able to appreciate the appearance and behavior of fledglings and juveniles.

Tembe Elephant Park, South Africa

10,000 Birds

The history of Tembe Elephant Park in South Africa is a slightly unusual one. It was founded as a safe place for refugees from the Mozambique Civil War , which ran from 1977 to 1992. But it wasn’t founded to serve as a refuge for human refugees, but animal ones, specifically elephants. Elephants used to cross the border here before the war, but the fighting increased incidents of poaching as law and order broke down, leading to highly traumatised elephants crossing the border.
