Greg Lawrence is a long-time friend of 10,000 Birds and a birding machine in the Rochester, New York, area.

Happy New Year, 10,000 Birds readers and writers! Everyone is looking back on their best birds of 2019, so I thought it would be a good idea to look at a book that looks back a little further: Urban Ornithology: 150 Years of Birds in New York City , by P.

He is too small to be of any threat to an adult tiger – but she can pose a threat to him! Source: Wikimedia Commons.

The proprietor of our ecolodge guides my small group of birders up a steep slope where we see, just at the point where a scope view deteriorates into pixels, a huge bird—a Chaco Eagle, also known as a Crowned Eagle—on a huge nest. We start with Lendrum being arrested in 2010 at the Birmingham (U.K.) 2019), and now this book.
