Snowbound Birding

10,000 Birds

The entire world, it seemed, was buried under two feet of snow. I was checking weather forecasts for days looking for a window of opportunity for a field trip. Yet, even the mighty Danube was frozen solid from bank to bank. Eventually, I had to go, there was no point of hoping further for a day without fresh snowfall or wind. Disregarding the weather, the research methodology required an observer’s presence in the field every month.

White-breasted Dipper

10,000 Birds

Firstly, I have to say “Happy New Year”! May you all have a great birding year and may you all take pleasure in what you see and enjoy the time you spend in nature! Last week I had to decide which birds would be my top ten birds for 2016 and although it was a hard decision to make I had to give top place to the White-breasted Dipper. It is a bird that we had never managed to see in the UK on our previous visits and you really shouldn’t “dip” on a “Dipper”

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of January 2017)

10,000 Birds

The year 2016 is done and gone and 2017 beckons us onward, bright and new and shiny, hopefully full of birds. As birders we love the turn of the calendar as it allows us to start a new year list and take stock of the previous year’s sightings, twitches, dips, and photos. Here’s hoping everyone has a wonderful 2017, full of amazing birds and experiences.

2017 starts off with Black-throated Sparrows

10,000 Birds

And so begins another New Year, another chance to start afresh. If you are the type to put together a list of resolutions, or goals, then the chance to make them a reality is upon you. I have never been much of a resolutions sort of guy, I just look back at the previous year make a mental note of what I liked, and what I didn’t. Then, I try to you avoid the bad parts.

Polly Want a Latte? The (Inevitable) Rise of Bird Cafes

10,000 Birds

You’ve heard of Internet cafes. You may even have heard of cat cafes. (While I have yet to make it down to Philadelphia’s Kawaii Kitty Cafe , I can attest that Le Cat Cafe —and its kitty yoga nights—are awesome.). Introducing the newest coffeeshop trend: t he bird cafe. (From—where else?—Japan.). Plunk down some yen and, cappuccino in hand, you can while away an hour or so in the company of chatty parakeets, uncharacteristically friendly owls, and pretty parrots.

My Birding Goals for 2017

10,000 Birds

Thank all that is good and holy in the world that the abomination that was 2016 is finally in the books. Here’s hoping that 2017 is a much better year than 2016! I know I will be doing my best to make it so, especially from a birding perspective. In order to keep my nose to the grindstone (eyes to the binoculars?) I am setting some goals for myself here.

Where Are You Birding This First Weekend of 2017?

10,000 Birds

Have you ever experienced that delicious moment when your car odometer rolled back to zeros? In the age of digital dashboards, the refresh at 100K miles exists only in memory, but that memory was sweet. Wiping the slate clean imbues the miles to come with fresh possibility and renewed adventure. And last Sunday, all of our year lists were wiped clean.

Birds and Blooms on Garcon Point Trail

10,000 Birds

There are times when I’m driving along, and I catch sight of the signature brown and white sign indicating a Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail site just up ahead. More often than not, I pull in to check it out (I always keep a pair of binoculars in the car!). That is exactly how my husband and I came to stop in at the Garcon Point WMA: Garcon Point Trail.

Mortgage-free light

10,000 Birds

Since I am already living the fantasy of travelling the world, looking at birds and getting paid whilst doing it (notice whilst not for , that’s a whole different dream), what more could I realistically hope for? Sometimes, on those dull, overcast days when I am scratching around to find any light to take pictures, I wish that I had an assistant with one of those light reflecting thingies so beloved of wedding photographers.

My Top Ten Birds of 2016 (or, Let’s Remember the Good Things about 2016)

10,000 Birds

It was a good birding year. Many sad and unfortunate things occurred in 2016, but the birding was good. I started the year in Florida, traveled to India with the ABA in February, combined family and birding in an August trip to California, and in-between saw very good birds in New York and New Jersey. The year list total is 709 countable and 2 non-countable birds.

10 Countries, 10 Top Birds in 2016

10,000 Birds

Well, that year was something else. Like a lot of people I know, the body blows of the news the world at large were tempered by a year that was personally rather good. I managed to actually beat my year list total, as accounted by eBird, by one bird. I went to Ethiopia. I bought a house. I saw Painted Wolves again, my favourite species ever. I also managed to go to 10 different countries, so rather than arbitrarily pick my top 10 birds of the year, I’ll arbitrarily pick a top bird from eac
