Can we talk about Cecil the Lion?

10,000 Birds

Hi there. I can’t help noticing that you’ve just posted an angry story about Cecil the Lion on your timeline. I get that you’re really angry, I mean, he was a popular lion and yes, his cute widdle cubs will probably die to, but I can’t help feeling you’ve kind of missed the point a bit, and well, ending all hunting in Africa will not solve much and maybe make things worse and… No, no, I’m not a hunter.

Birding North Lake State Park

10,000 Birds

Just like we did last year my family spent this past weekend camping at North Lake State Park, up in New York’s gorgeous Catskill Mountains. And, not surprisingly, the breeding birds present were largely the same species as last year which was not a problem at all! After all, having fledgling Blackburnian Warblers , Red-eyed Vireos (like the one above), Chipping Sparrows , and Black-throated Green Warblers in the trees around the tent was awesome!

The Andean Gull

10,000 Birds

On the series “North American birds with Neotropical Counterparts”, this time I introduce the Andean Gull. Gulls are often referred as “seagulls” due to their general association to the sea or sea shores. The Andean Gull could not be further from this general association. It normally lives as far from the sea as can be. This gull inhabits the high Andean plateau of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina at elevations ranging from 3300 to 4400 m (10827 to 14436 feet).

Teen Bird

10,000 Birds

If I was the sort of person to engage in rampant anthropomorphism, and sometimes I am, I would say that late summer is the time of year when Mother Nature gets bored and likes to mess with us. Molt happens, bringing us the wonder of bald birds ; confusing fall warblers start to get confusing ; waders wander. And then, of course, there are the unruly gangs of teen birds.

Birding Florida’s Emerald Coast

10,000 Birds

I have now officially moved to the Emerald Coast of Florida, a beautiful region on the Florida Panhandle. I am within one of Florida’s sub-tropical zones, and my birding experiences have expanded, with life birds galore. As part of my new job I work on Okaloosa Island, separated from the beach merely by the dunes. Almost every lunch break I head out onto the beach, looking for birds along the sand.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of August 2015)

10,000 Birds

Summer often means vacation. Vacations mean travel. Travel means new ecosystems. New ecosystems mean new birds. See why I love summer? My travels with family to the coast of Virginia have already yielded a bevy of birds I usually only see once a year. But one I’ve had to wait much longer than that to see again was Wilson’s Plover , a rarity this far north.

600 Bird Species in Costa Rica by August, 2015. Which Birds Are Missing?

10,000 Birds

It’ s August but there aren’t any lazy, late summer, hazy days down here. The wet season is still in full effect and that translates to dynamic birding in every habitat. Bring an umbrella because you will probably need one, but bring the binoculars too because you will definitely need those. Sometimes, you gotta travel to find the breaks in the rain but when you do, the toucans are calling, and parrots, raptors, and other large birds are trying to dry out in the treetops.

Behn River birding

10,000 Birds

Our recent birding and camping trip along the Duncan Road included some extended exploring at the Behn River, which is 63 kilometres down the Duncan Road from the Victoria Highway in the Northern Territory. Due to the windy nature of the gravel road over rough terrain, you are actually back in Western Australia when you reach the Behn River. You do return to the Northern Territory again before the Duncan Road returns to Western Australia where it ends at Halls Creek.
