This year was my third year helping to lead trips at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival. The Whooping Crane I hoped to see is one of the few remaining birds from the effort to introduce a non-migratory flock of cranes to central Florida, an effort that did not pay off. That number has continued to shrink.

I must admit that I was astonished as I had never considered Ghana a potential birding destination, nor knew of any birders who had ever been there. My clients insisted that they wanted to go to Ghana as they had heard that the birding was great. We also knew we had discovered Africa’s next hot birding destination.

Even at birding’s highest level, it’s still a pretty tight-knit community.

Another animal dies at the Calgary Zoo and more questions are being raised about their practices. They were a part of the zoo’s breeding program for the rare birds. In November 2008, a virus killed a 15-month-old Asian elephant calf named Malti. In May 2008, 41 of the 43 rays at the Calgary Zoo’s 37,000-litre touch-tank died.

This is particularly poignant if the bird has disappeared during the course of my birding days or “on my watch” as I like to think of it. Islands, for various reasons, experience more extinctions than continents (with Africa being the only continent not suffering a bird extinction!). The lost paradise, Lake Bemanevika.

Telia yawns, raises and sprays her urine on a dead tree stump, marking her territory. The other two are motionless.
