Saint Michael’s Summer

10,000 Birds

Following some bird call, I walk across the hanging deck bridge. Little by little, that woodpecker-like voice takes me ever further and yet, I see no bird. Finally, I sit on the bench by the Lazareva (Lazarus) River, in a limestone canyon sprinkled with all the colours of Saint Michael’s Summer. Wait, what is the Saint Michael’s Summer, you may ask yourself?

What is the State Bird of Hawaii?

10,000 Birds

Ah Hawaii, land of beautiful beaches, surfing, warm weather, and unique birds. Because of its distance to the mainland, Hawaii is home to over 60 species of endemic birds. Few are as unique (or rare) as the Nene , or Hawaiian Goose , Hawaii’s state bird. Nenes can only be found in Hawaii, and used to be plentiful. Before European explorers arrived in the 1770’s, this goose’s population numbered around 25,000.

What’s in a Name: Woodpeckers of North America

10,000 Birds

Well, I never did see a Black-backed Woodpecker on my trip, but they were on my mind… What could be more straightforward than the naming of woodpeckers? The name woodpecker itself is a basic behavioral description. Here are birds that peck at wood. When it comes to individual North American species, the old reliable trick of naming them after physical traits is in full effect.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of October 2015)

10,000 Birds

Well, it’s official… no MLB team named for a bird is going to the World Series. The Blue Jays gave their all, but we now need to turn our avian-inspired athletic interest to the NFL, where at least a couple of football teams with bird totems are worth watching! Without anything extraordinary on my weekend bird list, my favorite sighting was a pair of Hermit Thrushes , half hardy enough to hang around when so many other birds have left town.

Ellendale dam “bonus” birding

10,000 Birds

Last week I told you of the amazing birding at Ellendale dam and you may have noticed I shared a lot of colourful birds, but only mentioned the huge variety of honeyeaters that were present. There was a good reason for this and that was mainly due to the fact that I had taken so many photographs that I did not want to overload the post! The first thing that we noticed when we sat ourselves in the shade that hot afternoon with temperatures around 41c (106f) was the large number of Rufous-throated

10,000 Birds

Halloween weekend is an excellent time to go bird watching, assuming you’re not looking for real birds. Let us know the most original bird-themed costume you see this weekend! Amidst holiday candy flinging and zombie ducking, I’ll be taking in the seasonal specialties of upstate New York this weekend. Corey will be heading upstate too, which is really more midstate from where I’m sitting.

What To Do With An Injured Sora?

10,000 Birds

When a Sora was found in the Loch in New York City’s Central Park almost a week ago birders were pretty happy. After all, a twitchable Sora in Manhattan is an oddity with the only previous really twitchable bird being the one that showed up in Bryant Park two years ago. But exhilaration turned, to some degree, to dismay, when it was realized that this Sora had a broken left wing, as you can see in the above image.

The One and Only Outer Banks Big Day

10,000 Birds

5:15 am is never easy to see, but I rolled out of bed regardless. My friend Paul Taillie and I had to meet an intrepid bunch of birders for the inaugural Outer Banks Big Day field trip at the Wings Over Water festival in eastern North Carolina. This was the first time anyone had ever done anything like this, so we had no idea what to expect. No number we had in our minds to beat.

Every sperm is sacred

10,000 Birds

… especially if you’re a lady bird in heat. Because unlike those of mammals, avian ova need penetration by multiple sperm in order to successfully develop into baby birds. That’s the finding of researchers from the University of Sheffield in the UK, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. (If you’re feeling particularly science-y, the full paper is here.).
