10,000 Birds
JANUARY 7, 2013
I had some goals for this year as well, goals which I laid out in the introduction to my 2012 year list. I came up just short of reaching 1,100 Birds on my overall World Life List , clocking in at 1,096, not a bad increase of 48 from the beginning of 2012 when I started at 1,048. January 2012 started off with a bang.

Arguably the high point of my digiscoping career was in 2012, when I won the digiscoping class in the British Birds Bird Photographer of the Year awards. The resulting picture needed cropping, but this was a job that took just a few seconds. And every photograph required the telescope to be set up on a tripod, something that took time.

Corey’s BBOTW was a Brown Pelican at Montauk Inlet, a good bird in New York State, especially in December! Since my waxwings shots weren’t that hot, let’s enjoy Corey’s wayward pelican. The best bird of my weekend was Japanese Waxwing spotted where else but in Japan! How about you?

In fact, the last one was back on 15 May 2012 when my Queens list stood at 289 and I guessed what my next eleven birds would be that would get me to 300. 3 July 2010 31 October 2010 11 April 2011 15 May 2012.

The evening of September 7, 2012 was a truly memorable birding experience. There were also countless Brown Pelicans, Western Gulls, and Heermann’s Gulls, creating quite the cacophony. Outside a breakwater, there’s the area used for Mavericks , one of the world’s premiere big wave surfing contests.

Brown Pelican - Though two have been reported to eBird since 2008 this bird is even more of a long shot than Black Vulture. Harlequin Duck - 01 January 2012 – A great way to start the year at Fort Tilden, and it made up for missing several the previous winter.
