Falcon Wild by Terry Lynn Johnson

10,000 Birds

When I was a kid I loved books like My Side of the Mountain , Island of the Blue Dolphins , and Julie of the Wolves. Looking back, they can seem quite dated – questionable environmental ethics and anthropology and all that – but the sense of adventure that they conveyed, and the sense that I too, if necessary, could someday rise to the occasion and share a bond with nature, were catnip to a middle-grades reader.

An American Woodcock in New York.

10,000 Birds

I was especially pleased with this sighting of an American Woodcock for so many reasons. For a start, it was the first bird that had caught the attention of my new binoculars (Busnells 8×42 L series, in case you need to know). There were plenty of House Sparrows in Bryant Park, but they didn’t warrant first focus. For a second reason, I just don’t see enough woodcocks, so I was delighted to find it shading under a small evergreen.

Checking the news

10,000 Birds

I start my day with a coffee, a strong Turkish coffee without sugar – it is the stuff that makes the chest hair grow, as one UK friend of mine has put it. The next thing is starting the computer to check the news. And the first news web site is… eBird. I go to the Hotspots page to click on the Past week only, to see which reachable Belgrade sites – especially my favourite patches – were recently visited and which birds were spotted there.

Research and Birding at Elkhorn Slough

10,000 Birds

“What’s that?” I asked Virginia Guhin, Education Programs Coordinator of the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (ES NERR). We walked some of the trails at the reserve, and I had spotted a large bird hovering in mid-air, almost like a helicopter, just with more flapping. Peering through my binoculars, I saw a white bird with black spots on the undersides of the wings.

10,000 Birds

More migrants means more birding fun. Tons of avian observers hit the highways and byways of this big world to see what they could see. How did y’all make out? Rochester hosted a nice push of Bay-breasted Warblers , which I was quite pleased to intercept at Cobbs Hill. Corey’s Beat Bird of the Weekend was a singing male Mourning Warbler at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge that was chosen despite it giving a brief awful look.

Birding near the Fortescue River

10,000 Birds

Last month we returned to a rest area not far from the Fortescue River between Marble Bar and Newman called the “ Roy Hill Rest Area ” which we had used late in the year in 2015. We dropped in at Doolena Gorge once again and camped nearby and then continued south through Nullagine and on to the rest area. Late in the year in 2015 it had been very productive for birds and hence our return.

Kalbarri: The Quintessential Outback

10,000 Birds

I’ve spent a lot of my life in Australia, not as much as I would like, but plenty. The nation and continent is vast and covers a huge range of habitat types. But that said, saying and thinking of Australia evokes the image of one habitat type in particular, but it’s the one I’ve explored the least. The Outback, the bush, the red centre.
