Wood Thrush Nest

10,000 Birds

On a visit home to my folks’ house in Saugerties, New York, on Mother’s Day weekend (12-13 May, 2018) I was pleased to once again hear Wood Thrush singing from the periphery of the yard, as they have done every year for as long as I can remember. Somehow, though, I had never found a nest. That changed this year when I spotted a nest in a hemlock branch over the driveway.

The Brightest Bird at HJ Andrews Experimental Forest

10,000 Birds

A light rain had begin to fall on the valley between steep slopes that held the headquarters of HJ Andrews Experimental Forest. Patches of blue sky winked at me from behind the mountain peaks, raindrops occasionally obscuring my vision as I glanced upwards. At the edge of the Oregon Cascades, rain is expected, and the researchers and scientists thought little of it as they continued about their daily tasks.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of May 2018)

10,000 Birds

The question isn’t whether you went birding this weekend, because everyone who wasn’t part of the Royal Wedding was out chasing birds. The only valid questions involve what you saw and whether you’ll share details. I’m happy to share details on my annual run to Rush Oak Openings for cinch Blue-winged Warblers. Not only did I bag the beautiful bird I expected, but I also encountered a tasty species I never expect there until I see it every year: Olive-sided Flycatcher.

Crimson Chat in Broome

10,000 Birds

Following an exceptionally wet start to the year we are getting used to finding bird species around Broome that we do not encounter every year. A fine example was on Friday 18th May at the Broome Poo Ponds. We had just dropped our vehicle off for a wheel alignment and the Poo Ponds are conveniently located almost opposite and so we wandered over the road to see what had arrived since our last visit.

Searching for vultures in India

10,000 Birds

What was the weirdest place you ever birded? Some smelly sewage ponds? Oh, don’t bother responding. A war zone? Then you are worse than me. Yes, some gruesome graphic content follows, but don’t blame me, you have been warned. Sex? What sex? Oh, that cover photo? I lied to you, no sex here – but you already clicked. Let me see, when was it? Logging into my eBird account… December 6th, 2010.
