Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of August 2018?

10,000 Birds

Mid-August in the Northern Hemisphere demands attention. Most of us have not yet returned to our regular routines and still live on an erratic, often enjoyable summer schedule. I find this season to be least amenable to regular birding, both for its mundane crop of resident species and my unpredictable schedule. The imminent arrival of September should fix all that, but for now, I’m soaking in summer fun.

Construction of a Pied Oystercatcher nest

10,000 Birds

Over the years that we have been observing Pied Oystercatchers along the coast near Broome we have noticed that it is the male bird that always appears to construct the nest site. One of our male Pied Oystercatchers has been marked with an engraved leg flag “A1” and was one of the first pairs to lay eggs this season. Sadly the two chicks did not survive very long at all and the pair of Pied Oystercatchers were soon getting ready to lay more eggs.
