Audubon: America’s Greatest Naturalist and His Voyage of Discovery to Labrador

10,000 Birds

If you take only one thing away from this review, let it be this: Do not be intimidated by this book! Yes, even the title is bulky. Yes, it’s physically massive, exhaustively researched, rich with appendices and notes and maps and illustrations, and in every way the sort of thing that you look at and think “Wow, this author really, really cares about John James Audubon.

The truely Magnificent Frigatebird

10,000 Birds

One of the most common questions I get from first time, non-birding visitors to the Baja, is “What is the ominous looking black bird, soaring along the waters edge?” With its large swept back, black wings, deeply forked tail, and long hooked bill, the Magnificent Frigatebird , Fregata magnifciens appears to be quite forbidding. For the most part, this largest of the five frigatebird species actually is, but only to the other costal birds out looking for a meal.

Climate Change And Birds: Europe vs. North America

I want to alert you to a recent study (from April) that looks at the plight of bird populations under conditions of climate change in Europe and North America. The study looked at common birds, and used data divided by either state (in the US) or country (in Europe). Data were collected from the North American Breeding Bird Survey and the Pan-European Common Birds Monitoring Scheme.

Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of May 2016?

10,000 Birds

Have a magnificent weekend! Our world’s temperate skies teem with waves of weary passerines, migrating in their resplendent millions. Do yourself a favor: step away from the computer and get out to see them! Corey and I and every other birder you know will spend the weekend’s spare hours chasing down the newest arrivals before they move on.

This Week in Pop Culture: Bird Edition

10,000 Birds

It seems like lately, every time I glance at a screen or opened a newspaper (okay, let’s be realistic, the newspapers were on screens too), there’s some kind of interesting bird-related content. Maybe migration has seeped into the cultural zeitgeist and turned everyone a little bird-crazy. To wit: Thousands of pigeons (or Rock Doves , if you’re ticking them on a list) with tiny lights attached to their legs swarmed the skies over Brooklyn, NY , as part of an art project that is now getting

South Island Robins

10,000 Birds

It’s that time of year where I complain about the Austral winter, which arrived suddenly yesterday and has been inflicting gales, thunderstorms and tornadoes on New Zealand. To celebrate I’m off to Melbourne on Friday, were the weather promises to be more pleasant, for a long weekend. While the purpose of the trip is mostly to see family and friends and perhaps mark the occasion of another mostly successful passage around the sun, I will be getting a few hours of birding in here and

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of May 2016)

10,000 Birds

What a weekend, right? All my favorite birders were out at festivals, doing Big Days, or just racking up scores of awesome birds in the field. We can’t wait to hear everyone’s stories! I hit Firehouse Woods, one of Rochester’s finest spots to scope Neotropical migrants fueling for the last leg of their long journeys to the boreal. Even though I only had an hour before work, I racked up just about all the warblers I wanted; any weekend I see a Blackburnian Warbler , I know which

White-breasted Woodswallows

10,000 Birds

A few weeks ago I mentioned the Dollarbirds around Broome that love to use our power lines for roosting and then swooping down chasing insects. They like to take a whole power line section to themselves around Broome and now they are in the countries to the north of us they are no doubt using the same method for chasing insects. Our local White-breasted Woodswallows are the exact opposite in that they love to huddle together!

Happy Global Big Day from Costa Rica!

10,000 Birds

Last year, the Cornell Lab Of Ornithology had this really cool idea to get as many people counting as many birds as they could, in as many places as possible. This call to massive birding was known as the Global Big Day and it was meant to be the first of many GBDs to come. It was organized to boost eBird use, raise funds for bird conservation, and just get more people out birding.
