10,000 Birds

DECEMBER 9, 2012

The best bird of my weekend was Japanese Waxwing spotted where else but in Japan! If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. This is one of those weekends where actually watching birds gets in the way of writing about them, so I’ll cut to the chase. See any nice birds lately?

Nature lovers who love to travel know that few experiences are more enjoyable than preparation for a big trip. Because I’ll be birding Japan this weekend en route to Singapore! The mundane details that actually allow a trip to happen are tedious, but researching all those potential birds… huge fun! Why is travel on my mind?

I’m headed to Singapore in a week with stops in Japan and I hope Malaysia. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. If you live in any of those places, I’d love to go birding with you! What was your best bird of the weekend?

From our experience the greatest risk is when the shorebirds take off in a panic flight and clip each other’s wings and several fall into the sea. The Terek Sandpiper flagged in Japan was also present on the rocks! Soon it will go north and then we anxiously await its return later this year!

It has also found its way to Japan where it is considered to be an invasive species. My own experience at catching catfish (big ones!) In parts of Western Europe, it is considered to be “exotic” because it has been introduced, possibly by anglers, in lakes and rivers in France and the Iberian Peninsula. Catfish in the range of 1.0

In the three years before my big year I birded in eight states, Puerto Rico, Canada, England and Japan. What was your biggest surprise in 2012? Considering my own limited skills and experience, and the reported species that I missed, I think 360 or even 370 is possible by a more skilled and determined (and possibly insane) birder.
