The Cure for Binocular Neck: Birding in Montana

10,000 Birds

Custer Gallatin National Forest. In the valley of the Yellowstone and Boulder Rivers, snuggled up against Rocky Mountain ranges, sits the little western town of Big Timber, Montana. I ‘found’ this jewel on a paper road atlas many years ago. Just south of town is the Custer Gallatin National Forest; one of the largest intact ecosystems in the contiguous U.S., at 3.1 million acres.

Three Perfect Reasons to Bird Socorro, Costa Rica – Coffee, Proximity, and Quality

10,000 Birds

In Costa Rica, it’s not hard to find birds. Even if you had to spend a few frustrating days stuck in the urban wonderland of San Jose and surroundings, you still share the streets and parks with screeching Crimson-fronted Parakeets. The querulous whistles of Grayish Saltators emanate from gardens, and a hawk or two of the Zone and Short-tailed variety might be glimpsed kiting overhead.

10,000 Birds

The photo above shows the beginning of the Carr Fire east of Redding with the Sundial Bridge in the foreground. This is about 35 miles West of my home. According to a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences study, human-induced climate change has doubled the area affected by forest fires in the western U.S. over the last 30 years.

10,000 Birds

I am out on an off shore boat trip, from Seattle, north thru the San Juan Islands, and if the weather permits, up into the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada. With no real chance of any internet connection to report whatever new birds I am able to find, I am scheduling this photo essay featuring a few of my favorite pictures from Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Where Are You Birding This Second Weekend of August 2018?

10,000 Birds

Ready for the weekend? Ye olde birding calendar tells me that this weekend will resemble the last one to a fault, which is to say avian observation activities cannot help but include shorebirds. Ugh. If I have to chase shorebirds this weekend, I’ll try to visit a spot close to home. No need to drive 25 minutes for the same common stuff every time.

“Dog Days and Poisons” – Collective Arts Brewing: Mash Up the Jam

10,000 Birds

Drinking is an act of risk and vulnerability, though it’s such an everyday part of our existence that no one thinks of it that way. There’s always a chance that we could ingest something bad for us, something that might even kill us – a peril we face anytime we swallow anything, in fact. But drinking is essential for life, so despite the danger, we continue to imbibe.

Collaborative List – July 2018

10,000 Birds

And so to summer. Traditionally, the slow season, but the beats have mopped their collective brow and outdone their previous efforts. The UK has been birded clean by Tom as he ends his Little Big Year (Part 1). Redgannet continues his quest to bring colour to the profile map (one pixel at a time), by visiting The Seychelles (this time, on purpose!).

Guide to the Birds of Honduras: A Book Review

10,000 Birds

What do you do when you are a bird guide in a Central American country incredibly rich in birds and other natural resources but which has no birding field guide? You write your own. And, what do you do when you can’t find a publisher? Publish it on your own—in paper, not digitally, with illustrations by three noted nature artists. This is exactly what Robert J.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of August 2018)

10,000 Birds

Wow, the generally temperate Finger Lakes Region has been burning up this summer, though not quite the way Northern California has been. We’re all feeling the impact of one of the hottest summers on record in big swaths of the United States and beyond. Forget how about how you’re holding up… how are the birds doing? The more exotic shorebirds that frequent the Rochester area have successfully eluded me for yet another region.
