It doesn’t get cold in Costa Rica. At least that’s how I see it but then again, since I grew up in a place that goes Arctic for a few months of each year, my personal position on “cold” might not coincide with the one held by folks in the tropical zone. That’s where Costa Rica is situated of course and is partly why so many birds live here.

This sounds like an exciting topic for a blog post, right? Birds of a specific place with an unpronounceable name that you have never heard of? Well, this post is more specific than that – it is about the birds of Fliederweg 7, 27374 Visselhövede, Germany. Which happens to be the exact address of my parents` home. For a birdwatcher, it is rather nice to be at a place where – unlike my 13th floor Shanghai apartment – there are birds right outside the house.

This is it. All those dreams you had for your 2019 year list will be, come New Year’s Day, accomplishments you’ll savor for decades or failures that will dog you all of your days. Not keeping a year list? Smart, but you should still make the most of the final weekend of the year. I’m headed down to NYC for some entirely unbirdy family festivities.

According to eBird , I have been an eBirder since December 23, 2009, so today is my 10th eBird anniversary. During the decade, I submitted 1,219 checklists and observed 555 bird species, all in the U.S. and Canada. I started eBirding about the same time I started birding, and I made an early executive decision (a very good one) that any pre-eBird observations simply did not count.

It can be challenging birding in new environments, especially when it involves tall trees! At home in Broome we don’t have many tall trees and so whilst we are visiting Victoria we have had to adapt. We are having to adapt to cold weather too, because it has mostly been very cold despite it being summer! Grey Fantails are incredibly common around Gippsland and probably the most common bird around Foster.

Since the last notice of him on this blogsite (in June 2018), Steve Burrows has published two more novels in his terrific “Birder Murder” series, the fifth and sixth – respectively, A Tiding of Magpies and, now the latest, A Dance of Cranes. This is good news, and especially so for birders. It is true that not every reader has a fondness for murder mysteries (and there is, admittedly, a certain amount of dreck in the genre, much of that authored, curiously enough, by lawyers).

Well, we’ve done it again. For a third year in a row, Birds and Booze has dipped on a bird-themed Champagne to recommend for New Year’s Eve. It hasn’t been for want of trying: all year long, I’ve scoured every wine shop and liquor store I’ve visited, looking for a bird-themed bottle bubbly, whether it be Champagne, Crémant, cava, Franciacorta, Asti, Lambrusco, or Prosecco.

What a time to be alive. Some of us still had Christmas Bird Count commitments this weekend, while others could focus on holiday prep, holiday celebration, and holiday panic. Still others found the time and opportunity to give themselves the gift of birding where they wanted to when they wanted to. I hope your transition to a new year involves as much of that last activity as you could hope for.
