Where Are You Birding This Fourth Weekend of June 2018?

10,000 Birds

Remember how much fun migration was? Say goodbye to that kind of excitement now that summer (or winter for the antipodeans) has set in. This new season presents its own staid charms, so don’t sleep on it. You’ll still find plenty of birding to enjoy if you take the time. I’m still trying to get on an inconveniently placed Henslow Sparrow , so look for me next to a nondescript grassy meadow trying to suss out that whispery call.

Week 19: Out of Africa!

10,000 Birds

And so we are out of Africa, or South Africa at least. It seems like every time I have to leave a new country, and each of these has been a first time for me, I keep telling myself that I have to come back soon. From the onset, we were very aware that the time we have allowed was never going to be sufficient. And now it seems that for each new country visited, that sentiment has been increasingly stronger.

A Quick Trip to the Yucatan

10,000 Birds

Taking advantage of my son, Desmond, having this past Friday off from school our small family decided to do a three-day trip somewhere. Our initial plan was to road trip somewhere within a half-day’s drive of our home in Queens but we quickly came to the realization that we didn’t really feel like driving anywhere that close to us. I started browsing on line and quickly discovered some great deals on Jet Blue vacations.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of June 2018)

10,000 Birds

Another Father’s Day, another opportunity for millions of birding dads to invite, entice, or drag their progeny out into the field. Here’s a question for the fathers out there: did you even try to take your kids birding this weekend? If so, how did that go? I succeeded in getting exactly half of my children out into the field to explore the only old growth forest patch in Monroe County, NY.

10,000 Birds

Last year was the first year since we moved to Broome permanently at the end of 1999 that we encountered significant numbers of Magpie Geese to the area. The numbers of Magpie Geese were not only significant due to the high rainfall at the start of 2017, but the Magpie Geese bred around the area and there was a population boost over the following months.

Rwanda Dreaming

10,000 Birds

The beginning of the northern summer is a good time (as any) to dream of some of the most biodiverse places on Earth. No, I am not talking of Brazil or Columbia, they are not just in the tropics but more importantly, they are officially huge. When you compare the species richness not per country, but per square kilometre, that is when you get a more realistic picture, and then those tiny tropical countries rightfully stand out in the spotlights.
