Birdwatching in Northern Greece by Steve Mills: Third Edition

10,000 Birds

If you’ve birded in Spain, possibly more than once, and are considering another Mediterranean country to quench your thirst, look to the east. Steve Dudley, a bird guide and author of the Lesvos birding guide, once told me: “Greece is THE premier birding location in Europe for me [and for yours truly as well]. Wider than Lesvos, it also offers other spectacular birding locations such as Kerkini , Dadia, and the Evros Delta – they can all be combined in an easy enough week or two-week birdi

Binocular snobbery

10,000 Birds

Just as the make and condition of a car tells you a lot about its owner, so a person’s binoculars tell you a lot about their user. I am sure that all serious birders are guilty of looking at a fellow birdwatcher’s binoculars and concluding, rightly or wrongly, a lot about the person behind them. Here in the UK the Austrian manufacturer Swarovski dominates the quality end of the birding market, outselling by a sizeable margin its German-based rivals, Zeiss and Leica.

Dawn Over the Mighty Rupununi

10,000 Birds

The millions of stars and galaxies twinkling over the Rupununi Savanna in Guyana seem to reluctantly fade into a gradually lightening sky as the eastern horizon reddens. The Pakaraima mountains slowly materialize from the darkness, silently encircling the flatness of the savanna. This places feels almost as if herds of zebra and giraffe are just out of view.

Famous Flamingos

10,000 Birds

Back in 2016 one very unexpected bird appeared in the Mexican highlands: an American Flamingo. It took up residence for part of each year in the Parque Metropolitano of the city of León, Guanajuato, to the northeast of Guadalajara and well northwest of Mexico City. This is an urban site with a good number of birders, so it is very likely that whenever it was not reported there for a few months, it was because they it had moved elsewhere.

Montane Guinea Pig (Cavia tschudii) sounds?

Reddit Animals

Hello! This may seem like a very specific request, but I am desperate! I am a guinea pig parent and also a sound art major and I am writing my final paper on the bioacoustics of guinea pigs. My goal is to analyze any sounds they make as domesticated animals and compare that of their ancestors and "cousins."

Help with an injured Pigeon

Reddit Animals

So I put my car in my garage and when I got out there was a pigeon in my garage who couldn't fly. He doesn't appear physically injured at all and I'm worried he might've been stuck under my car. I live on a busy street and I was worried he'd run into the road and get hit so I put him in a box with some cloth and water and some seeds and put the box on my front porch.

Long story short there was a rat in the house, my stepfather got a glue trap, he caught the rat and threw it in the garbage (this was last night at 11pm) this morning my sister tells me that they caught the rat and showed me the video of my parents scooping it up and throwing it in the garbage. I went directly outside and pulled the rat from the garbage can and got it unstuck and released it across the street.

A bee needed help, it accepted help

Reddit Animals

Last week on Wednesday, I was on a bus and started hearing a buzzing sound. Looking around, I spotted a bee trying to get out of the bus, buzzing against a window. It was pretty big. Calmly and confidently, I went over to it and put my hand next to it. The second its leg touched my hand, the buzzing stopped. It climbed onto my hand. I slowly moved my hand, with the bee sitting calmly on it.

Are komodo dragons protists?

Reddit Animals

I heard quite a while ago, from a source I don't remember, that komodo dragons can reproduce asexually, I did very limited research, but as I'm sure you all know, Google isn't exactly the best for easily extracting information from a source that isn't probably highly manipulated. As far as I'm aware, animals have to have sexual reproduction to be classified as animals, so why aren't komodo dragons commonly classified as just massive protists?

Is there a rule of thumb to know how best to safely avoid an animal you bump into in the wild? Like an elk I would guess you hold your ground for but that might get you impaled. And I'm not sure what you do for a wolf. But there's a lot of animals of there so is there ways to grouping the same reaction to lots of different animals?

My rescued robin of four years’ leg is broken

Last night my robins leg broke because my dog was playing too rough with her or something. I didn’t exactly see what happened maybe my dog rolled over her? But her leg is broken at the joint and I don’t know what to do. I’ve had her since she was a baby with no feathers (I found her in the middle of my yard with no nests around because I don’t have trees so I took her in and took care of her like feeding her three times per night until adulthood and she’s super healthy).
