10,000 Birds
DECEMBER 23, 2019
According to eBird , I have been an eBirder since December 23, 2009, so today is my 10th eBird anniversary. For example, I’ve seen Bald Eagles in 15 states. During the decade, I submitted 1,219 checklists and observed 555 bird species, all in the U.S. and Canada. Of course, you can use the data in many ways.

Last week the media was eating up a story about a poor, little 80 year old woman who violated a 2009 No Trespass Order that prohibited her from visiting local parks in Massachusetts. The Eagle Lady has also died and now the town bans the feeding of eagles and other birds.

The Nisqually estuary was restored in 2009 by removing dikes and reconnecting 762 acres with the tides of Puget Sound. Northern Harriers, Peregrine Falcons, American Kestrels, and a fair number of Bald Eagles all can be found on the refuge year round. I got to see several Brown Creepers in the area.

I’d only ever seen Garganey once before, way back in 2009 in Kazakhstan. We saw Sandhill Cranes , Northern Shovelers , and Bald Eagles. After all, we now knew the bird was still present. What if we missed it? But before we get into the search I’d like to touch briefly on the bird itself. Time went past.

That Cattle Egret I found in Somerset County, August 2009? My personal favorites are three photos of the 2009 Cape May Ivory Gull. Development, conservation, and climate change have affected bird distribution in good ways (a record 282 Bald Eagles found on the January 2009 official count!)

When I was asked if I wanted to read Jeff Corwin's 100 HEARTBEATS (Rodale 2009) I was ambivalent. I know he's a conservationist, therefore I know he will advocate for "managing" the "resources" that are sentient nonhumans. And managing means killing them, breeding them, and otherwise fiddling with their populations.

Suzie wrote about her experiences as a bird rehabber in Flyaway: How A Wild Bird Rehabber Sought Adventure and Found Her Wings (2009) and used those experiences as the source for her fictional children’s book, Hawk Hill (1996). Have you had rehab experiences with eagles? photo by John Huba. Was there a role model for Mars?
