15 expat-friendly countries for a birder to move to

10,000 Birds

What are the best countries for a passionate birder to move to? And why? I discovered this map a while ago, hidden somewhere at the not so easy to navigate BirdLife International’s website, and I have used it as my computer wallpaper ever since. Usually, I interchange some birdy wallpapers several times per month, but this one has stayed for several months already.

The Birds at Itasca State Park Are All Wet

10,000 Birds

I’m writing this post a day late (sorry) from Itasca State Park, Minnesota. Over the last few days we’ve traveled from the Twin Cities north to lake country, back to the Twin Cities, and back up north, but to a different region. Which reminds me of something funny about Minnesota. When I studied the Efe Pygmies of the Congo, I discovered (and yes, it was me who discovered this amazing fact everyone now knows) that the Efe organize their space in elongated linear trails.

What is the State Bird of Connecticut?

10,000 Birds

Few birds are as ubiquitous in the United States as the American Robin. Found in all fifty states except for Hawaii, the robin is also the state bird of not just Connecticut, but Michigan and Wisconsin as well.

Searching for Shorebirds on the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge

10,000 Birds

It being mid-August in New York City there is one place where I have to be as often as I can. That place is the fabled home of shorebirds, both common and rare, the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. This year, what with family plans and other commitments, I didn’t get out on the pond until later than usual but it was worth the wait. Saturday saw me squelching through the mud at the north end of the pond and Sunday had me leading a field trip for the Queens County Bird Club from the

Owls in the sunshine

10,000 Birds

My colleagues or non-birding friends often express surprise if I tell them that I have found an owl during the day. I confess to being rather patronizing as the conversation progresses. My audience, obviously impressed, are astonished that an owl might be seen during the day, but I assure them that it is usually easier because at night, it gets too dark.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of August 2015)

10,000 Birds

This time of year can seem filled with regret, especially among those students and teachers who have enjoyed a long reprieve from school. But every day brings us closer to another migratory season. Who could regret that? I was both shocked and thrilled to spot a Common Nighthawk soaring over the Bronx during my visit this weekend; funny that I never saw one when I lived there!

Negri River birding

10,000 Birds

Our recent camping and birding adventure that took us along the remote Duncan Road saw us stopping at the Negri River for an extended period. Having explored the Behn River area we travelled 70kms on and made ourselves at home on the riverbank of the Negri River in the shade. The Negri River starts in the Northern Territory and flows into Western Australia and it then merges with the Ord River and flows into Lake Argyle.
