A New Wildlife Refuge Pass: Fellow Birders, Help Us Help You

10,000 Birds

Since we first launched the Wildlife Conservation Stamp Project, we’ve made our case to thousands of birders and photographers. We’ve worked to change the dialogue around the Duck Stamp in public discussions and meetings, and we’ve reached out to Refuge officials and conservation officers to argue for the viability of this concept. As with anything new and in contrast to the existing model, it takes time to plant the seeds of change.

What is the National Bird of Venezuela?

10,000 Birds

I remember the very first time I saw the national bird of Venezuela. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of a flash of orange disappearing behind a thick layer of tree leaves. Peering upward, I marveled at the stark contrast between the inky black and bright orange feathers, white wing-bars glowing in the general shade of the canopy. There was no mistake: I was looking at a Venezuelan Troupial.

Unintended Consequences: Bird-Friendly Yards and Bird Deaths

10,000 Birds

You won’t find Painted Buntings in Canada—Corey photographed these in Florida, where they are common feeder birds. In a cruel twist of irony, the residential yards that are most attractive to birds—those with big, leafy trees and bird feeders—also appear to be at greater risk of becoming deathtraps, versus yards that lack these bird-friendly features.

A Sunday morning cartoon memory

10,000 Birds

The Greater Roadrunner , Geococcyx, californianus , an iconic bird that is the symbol of many Native American, and Mexican legends. This speedy ground dwelling birds namesake has been used for a popular American car model, and without question, one of the all time great Sunday morning cartoons that we all grew up with. Hardly a brochure from the Southwest US or Mexico is published without the Roadrunners image on it.

Common Moorhens at Hannover Zoo

10,000 Birds

The Common Moorhen still is in Germany what its name implies: common. Well, it is rather common and can even be scarce regionally, but overall it is not a difficult bird to find in Germany so long as a cunning birder frequents reedy wetlands. However, those populations in natural habitats take their rallid heritage quite seriously and are far more often heard than seen.

The 2016 AOU Supplement and the Costa Rica Bird List

10,000 Birds

Birders concerned with ticking off bird species from a list in North America already know all about the AOU Supplement. For folks who don’t put much emphasis on taxonomic issues and classification of the birds they see, let’s start by saying that we aren’t talking about something that adds extra vitamins to your diet. However, like any supplement, this publication does provide something extra, something additional.

Doolena Gorge

10,000 Birds

Last November we were wandering the Pilbara and visited Marble Bar on a typical November day when the temperature was in the high 40’s (yes, that is Celsius!) and on our more recent trip to the southern areas of Western Australia we returned to the area to see how different the birding is at this time of year. Just to the north of Marble Bar is a beautiful gorge on the Coongan River, which rarely flows.
