After all, this is National Moth Week 2013! Rumor has it the falls are fantastic for gulls, but alas only in winter! If you’re not sure why moths deserve your wonder or how you should observe this annual extravaganza, check the excellent National Moth Week website.

Alas, I had no time outdoors this weekend, which leaves House Sparrows sheltering a giant wreath as my Best Bird of the Weekend. Winter may not technically begin for another couple of weeks, but frigid temperatures and wicked snow are assailing various parts of North America.

Alas, they both kept their heads down until long after we’d left. My ill-advised twitch was a run for the Long Island Ruffs recently spotted on the south shore. Corey and I staked out the location early in the morning and logged a lot of time waiting for either of them to show. This is why I hate twitching!

As 2013 draws to a close we here at 10,000 Birds thought that it would be a great idea if we, like we did in 2010 , 2011 , and 2012 , shared our Best Birds of the Year. Alas, the bird had flown. Alas, this year was the first since Mike started birding that he didn’t see a single lifer. Sociable Lapwings by Nate Swick.

Alas, the New York coastline is nowhere near as picturesque as the Pacific coast as our photo above by Duncan shows. This verse and many of the others in Thomas’s Poem in October references birds. Were I to write a poem about October, I’d do the same. How about you? Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding?

We took my father-in-law’s new boat out to a barrier island south of Chincoteague NWR… alas, I had so little faith in our first voyage that I left my camera home for safety. My Piping Plover experience was probably better, as I was surrounded by at least 5 in un-plover-like proximity. <strong>How about you?

And I shot to the top of E-Bird’s Top 100 list in 2013: out of only 25 E-birders for the entire state! Alas, my 150-600 mm lens was declared dead the day before, so my 300 mm photos are not up to the level of the outing.). I heard about an American woman that lived an hour away, who guided visitors for free.
