Birding on Texel in Late October

10,000 Birds

The Dutch Island of Texel is well-known amongst European birders due to the exciting number and quality of birds it attracts during spring and autumn migration times. Although not as exciting as Helgoland, which I covered here recently , Texel is an excellent location in its own right. I spent three full days on Texel in late October, which was just about enough to cover this surprisingly large island.

AVMA News

Andrew Busch, an economic futurist, consultant, and speaker, anticipates the U.S. economy bottoming out at the end of 2024 after hitting peak growth this year. However, Busch doesn’t foresee a recession, partly because of strong employment numbers.

May I ask, what animal does this eye belong to?

Reddit Animals

​ I've seen this picture multiple times on social media, and in my impression, there's no animal whose eyes look like this, no pupil, veins on the surface. I can't find the original source or some more information. So, is it possible for an animal's eyes to look like this? Or could it be caused by a disease? Thanks a lot.

Do we do enough language experiments?

Reddit Animals

How often do we try to give animals a way to talk? Do we do it enough? How many other Koko's are there? How many parrots talk to each other? It seems like the idea that animals are, in a sense, trying to talk [to you] is not a common thought. I guess most of us fail to consider that we as humans used to ugh and grunt too, and we as babies could only cry so many different ways: why do we seem to fail to apply this logic to animals?

What should I do about this situation?

Reddit Animals

The police and animal control in my town don't care to do anything about animals being mistreated and abused and I have showed them evidence and I told them about what is happening but they just don't care I have reported all of the incidents to the police and animal control but they just don't at all care about how the animals are being treated the police and animal control in my town are just worthless and pathetic.

Question about encounters with raccoons.

Reddit Animals

Two days in a row, it's been really cold where I live. Not sure if that has something to do with this. Anyway we have a garbage dumpster, and I found raccoons in it the past two days. They just sit there while eating, like 2 feet away from me, as we are staring at each other. Maybe I'm an idiot, but both times, I found a piece of wood or a skid and put it in there on and angle so they could crawl out.

Terns of North America: A Photographic Guide–A Book Review

10,000 Birds

Tern lovers rejoice! A new book about the angelic-looking, identification-stumping birds of the oceans, rivers, and marshes has finally been published! And it’s fantastic. Terns are too often considered the baby brothers and sisters of gulls, and if you don’t agree, take a look at the number of books written about gulls (at least four in recent years) and then try to remember the last book you read about terns of North America.

Birding Shanghai in November 2023 (contractual obligation post)

10,000 Birds

This November, I went birding in Shanghai exactly once – the result of both some unpleasant changes in the accessibility of some good birding sites and some traveling that took me away from Shanghai for half of the month. Still, I saw a few thrushes – among them one of my favorites, the Japanese Thrush. The explanation for the scientific name of cardis provided in the HBW sounds a bit spurious to me but is presumably correct: “perhaps from the resemblance of the black markings

Guyana: Popular, not Populous

10,000 Birds

Our first full day in the Land of Many Waters predictably began with a trip on one of these many waters. After leaving our hotel in the dark, we arrived at the small dock about half hour after sunrise – making one of many salient points about birding in Guyana: the country is vast! Nevertheless, the light was still gentle and golden. Farmhouses dotted the landscape, but our attention was directed to the water.

Musings on a Life List

Would you know a Firewood Gatherer if it landed in front of your binoculars? Or, come to that, a Greater Thornbird or a Buff-bellied Flowerpecker? To be honest, I wouldn’t be too confident of identifying any of this trio, either, though all three feature on my world lifelist. In contrast, I well remember all three of my encounters with Shoebills. (My Shoebill photographs, incidentally, were digiscoped from a small boat, so they’re not as sharp as they could be, but they are great reminders
