Hurricanes Irma and Maria recently caused devastating damage to the U.S. territories in the Caribbean: Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Most residents are still without electricity and there was extensive damage to homes, buildings, and public infrastructure. Recovery and rebuilding will be long, difficult, and expensive. The human toll has been and continues to be staggering.

Once autumn starts creeping in, I can’t help but think about what exotic birding location to visit when I invariably need to escape the local winter wonderland/hellscape. Maybe this year will be someplace birdy in Africa , or perhaps I’ll get back to the Caribbean (even though that won’t help my ABA list !) The entire world beckons.

Near the turn of the 20th century, wealthy influencer Bernard Baruch bought coastal property in South Carolina. In just a few years he had consolidated over a dozen plantations, accumulating nearly 16,000 acres of coastal forest, saltmarsh, and beach. His daughter Belle fell in love with the property, known as Hobcaw Barony, eventually making it her permanent home.

Weekends are fun. Long weekends are more fun. No need to complicate something so simple. I’n thrilled to finally have made it to the High Line in NYC, a triumph of design in the public space that was well worth the wait. Plus, I saw a Common Yellowthroat there. Corey spent all day Saturday in one spot watching birds during the Queens County Bird Club’s Fourth Annual Big Sit and any one of the 74 species they spotted could be his Best Bird of the Weekend.

This past Saturday, 07 October, was the day for the Queens County Bird Club Big Sit, our fourth year of counting every species we could see from the hawk watch platform at Fort Tilden, in southwestern Queens. Previous years had given us some idea of what to expect: in 2014, our inaugural year, we netted 72 species ; in 2015, we topped that with 76 species ; but in 2016 we had horrific weather and were washed out before the day was halfway done and only had 35 species.

BIRDING WITHOUT BORDERS: An Obsession, a Quest, and the Biggest Year in the World. By Noah Strycker. Houghton Mifflin, 352 pp., $27. ISBN 978-0-544-55814-4. The most impressive photograph in Noah Strycker’s new book is not one of a bird, but of the author. He’s standing next to a pile of several dozen birding guidebooks — the stack is fully as tall as the 5’9” Strycker himself.
Animal Rights Zone brings together the best content for animal advocates and activists from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

Monarchs. They’re practically honorary birds – beloved, much written about, rather visible and charismatic in their stripey larval form and spectacularly so as vivid orange and black adults. And the subject of earnest conservation-related concern as habitat loss, pesticides, and the like cause their population numbers to trend down, down, down.

At one point this week, I was facing the biggest Dip of my birding life. I had committed the better part of five days, before work, after work, weekends, every spare moment trying to a rare bird. This all started like most of these stories do, with the report of a rare bird, in this case, a vagrant Wood Stork , spotted in some place it certainly should not be.

When we had our camping/birding trip earlier this year we entered Queensland from the Northern Territory at the border near the small outback town of Camooweal. It is in fact such a small town that they permit camping on the edge of town in the busy months alongside what remains of the Georgina River. Lake Francis and Lake Canellan offer the perfect place to set yourself up for a night or two to explore the local area, although it can get rather overcrowded in the height of the tourist season.
