The Greek Strategy

10,000 Birds

Have you read my blogs on birding Greece ? Presuming that you live somewhere in Europe and plan a car trip to Greece, let me suggest a couple of routes that will increase your tour list. Driving from France or Germany to Greece, you are likely to pass through my hometown of Belgrade and continue south following the E75 through the FYRO Macedonia. That motorway takes you to the Gevgelija (MAK) – Evzonoi (GR) border crossing.

Black-necked Stork on the highway!

10,000 Birds

On our recent camping and birding trip to the north of Broome we had an odd experience. We were driving along a windy section of the Great Northern Highway north of Warmun in the Kimberley when I suddenly called out “ Jabiru stood on the road” Grant immediately braked as we came around the corner and right on the double white lines was a young Black-necked Stork.

Eurasian Jay; Woodsman

10,000 Birds

There is a price for everything. For the simple pleasure of watching the Jays drill acorns into my front lawn, I now have to pull out all the little seedlings that made it through the winter and germinated into little oaks. Ash and Oak seedlings. Some of the seedlings have been saved for re-planting you will be pleased to know and I am considering leaving the lawn to revert to oak forest, which shouldn’t take too long if the Jays have their way.

American Oystercatchers in Mexico

10,000 Birds

Having grown up and spent the majority of my birding life in the Pacific Northwest, it was not uncommon for me to see Black Oystercatchers , wandering the rocky shores of the Pacific Ocean. Their solid black bodies, and reddish orange bills, have always been one of the highlights of coastal birding up north. When we sailed to Mexico, I discovered a whole new species, the American Oystercatcher Haematopus palliatus.

Morning on Weeks Bay

10,000 Birds

Mornings are very important to us Southerners, especially New England transplants like me. During sweltering summers, where my dashboard hits 98 degrees F every damn day, mornings have become my oasis. I can explore outside without sweat dripping from my nose, or wear a T-shirt without worrying that my forearms will scorch in the noon-day sun. I felt especially thankful for the cooler air while boarding a touring boat at the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserv e along the coast of Alaba

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of September 2016)

10,000 Birds

For those who track avian migration, each new week may bring a fresh arrival or herald a new departure. Of course, birds only represent a sliver of the near-infinite flora and fauna that, collectively, grows, blooms, dies back, and lapses into dormancy over the course of a year. I’m only musing on seasonal changes because one of my many environmental allergies flared up today.

Achoo! Antarctic Penguins Are Catching Bird Flu

10,000 Birds

The news that bird flu is spreading to Antarctica isn’t quite as dire as you might expect. That is, the penguins—in this case, Chinstrap Penguins like the one photographed above by Christopher Michel (Wikimedia Commons), and Adélie Penguins —don’t actually seem to be getting sick from avian influenza virus (AIV). But the fact that a second strain of the virus in the past three years has shown up among Antarctic penguins is disturbing, according to scientists r eporting their findings in the Jo
