Birding Tradition: the New Year’s Day List

10,000 Birds

Starting the New Year by trying to see as many species as possible is something of a birding tradition. One of my more memorable New Year’s days was in the Falkland Islands, back in 1989. My diary notes that the New Year dawned grey and windy, but I rose early, walked six miles before breakfast and noted a modest 26 species of birds. Like many offshore archipelagos, birds are few in variety on the Falklands, though many individual species are great in numbers.

How did the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale get its name?

Reddit Animals

People in North America began using the term “right whale” in the early 1700s, and originally “right” may have meant “typical,” as these whales were considered common and ordinary. However, over time, the term evolved to refer to how they were hunted—they were considered “the right whales to hunt.” Before whaling began, estimates suggest there were 9,000 to 21,000 North Atlantic right whales.

Birding Senegal: Costco ads and Scissor-tailed Kites

10,000 Birds

Hannah Buschert started birding in college thanks to a required Biology of Birds course and a professor who included Sir David Attenborough’s Life of Birds to punctuate lessons. Almost as if by accident, Hannah landed the dream job of Park Ranger in the Rio Grande Valley at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park where she guided many birders who filled her head with far-off destinations and incredible birds.

A New Logo

10,000 Birds

Sometimes marketing people wake up sweating, mostly after having nightmares about outdated logos and designs. While I am not a marketing person myself, even I got a slightly queasy feeling when looking closely at the old 10,000 Birds logo. Somehow, it appears to have been created in the times when computer monitors still had blinking yellow letters in front of a black background, and mobile phones still were the size of bricks.

Bird Day: A Story of 24 Hours and 24 Avian Lives–A Book Review

10,000 Birds

Bird Day is a lovely, little jewel of a book. The idea is to portray one bird for each hour of the day in words and art, presenting the diversity, beauty, and wonder of avian life. The partnership of its creators, ornithologist Mark E. Hauber and artist Tony Angell fulfills this goal beautifully and was the factor that motivated me to review this book.

My Favorite 2023 Birds

10,000 Birds

Well, 2023 has ended, so it’s time to look back at the past year’s birding. The pleasures of birding are many and varied, so this kind of post always involves a list. In this case, I had not yet written about some of these sightings, so there will actually be a bit of new information in this post. I will also return to several birds which have already appeared here.

Do animals understand that written language has meaning?

Reddit Animals

I've wondered before if animals can understand human speech at least to the point of knowing that it is a meaningful form of communication and there are plenty of answers to that online. But now i'm wondering if animals understand that human writing contains meaning/is a form of communication? Even if they don't know what it means of course, are they still able to recognize consistent symbols and know that it means something to US. maybe if they've seen humans create them?

Anyone else have a black and red squirrel in their backyard?

Reddit Animals

I love my backyard critters. I've known all of them for years. There's the black and gray/brown squirrels. Then this year, something new appeared: a squirrel that's pitch black on the lower half of their body and a VIBRANT orange-red on top. It really, really sticks out. And I can't find a picture on Google of a squirrel like this. If it's a winter pelt, I've never noticed one like it in all the years living here.

Posh Racoons

Racoons actually seem moderately clean. I've read they groom and bathe themselves and that they wash their food before eating, so they do seem moderately clean. And honestly, i think it'd be so funny for there to be some posh billionare who bought a pet racoon since they're 'cleanly' Like a lil' racoon in a suit or something lol.

Is this animal abuse?

Reddit Animals

Pretty sure I know the answer but wondering if anyone has wise advice and tips on the situation. My neighbor that lives in the apartment below me got a great pyrenees-golden doodle mix about two years ago. To start the owner is a 65 year old short stubby man with many medical issues including a gimpy leg and bad back. I got my puppy around the same time so we would keep up together and let our pups play at the dog park.

Wolverine vs Lynx. Battle to death who takes it?

Reddit Animals

If two adult healthy males confronts each other who will take it? Rules: No element of surprise or ambush. Both are aware of each other's presence. Scenario: Both are very desperate and hungry. Lynx just killed a deer and about to enjoy his meal. Then a hungry wolverine shows up to steal that kill from Lynx as they steal from cougars/ wolves. On YouTube I saw they run away leaving behind their meal for wolverine.

Is there an animal like this?

Reddit Animals

Hi, I hope this post is ok here. I'm looking for an animal that is not diurnal, that likes water to some extent at least, that is if possible kind (example of kind: if they kill prey, they attack the neck first to kill prey first, or they help/interact with other animals for any reason, for example to help with food, or to warn about enemies, or to be together when its cold, etc, any of these things is fine, no need to have all).
