OCTOBER 9, 2015

About 600 individuals currently live in captivity as part of a breeding program, and there are reintroduction programs underway in the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. . In 2013, Dalcio Dacol and I paid a visit to this reserve as part of an independent, month long birding trip in southeast Brazil. And that was it.

But I have now visited Magee Marsh in autumn, or, technically, the very tail end of summer, but whatever the season might actually have been the birds were not in their breeding finery and they were heading south. Thanks to the folks at the symposium for having me and I’ll see you all in 2013! …

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. It was easily one of the best birding experiences I’ve ever had, even impressing my nonbirder fiance. You can read more about his experience here.

I have chronicled the experience on my blog. This past June I was invited along by the Edmonton Nature Club on a field trip to a Piping Plover breeding site. Here’s hoping 2013 brings you as many great birds as 2012 did! Indigo Bunting Greg Majewski chose a very nice, very red bird as his Best Bird of the Year.

Being a westerner — raised in California, and now living in western Mexico — I was perhaps most excited about the migratory birds that breed in eastern North America. I photographed the first of only two Northern Parulas ever reported in my state, way back in 2013. But obviously, I haven’t seen one since then.

The authors themselves–Rob Hume, Robert Still, Andy Swash, Hugh Harrop, and David Tipling–collectively have 100s of years of birding and photographic experience. The chapters, however, offer very good introductions to each bird group.

I didn’t know much about Birds of Paradise either before 2013, when I accompanied a non-birding friend to a presentation at a local college, not really expecting much. Also of use, as Gregory points out in the Introduction, is his experience with painting birds of iridescence, having painted a whole book on sunbirds!

But, if you’ve never had an Osprey encounter, studying this photograph and its text prepares you for what to expect (especially important for bird photographers) and gives the background facts, such as the rough spines on the bottom of Osprey’s feet that help them hang onto their fish, that helps you appreciate the experience.

So, all this makes birding this place an occasionally less than pleasant experience. A paper on breeding of the species was actually researched right here at Wawushan. By 2013, this ratio had increased to 7.2 ( source ). A few general words about parrotbills to fulfill my educational duty towards you, the valued reader.
