I wonder how many I’ll be able to add in 2013. Oh, and there were mammals too. There is no way 2013 will be as good as year for me birding-wise as 2012 was. I’ll get into the reasons why in a post soon but I hope that you enjoy your 2013 and see a ton of birds! But how did I see so many species this year?

And I know all you’ve gotten from me lately is mammals, but I’ve been more tuned to the skies and surely you’re tired of bunny goodness this close to Easter (but trust me had I made it out to the herd of them estimated between 300 and 400 you’d have seen Arctic Hare). It’ll be great practice for Ison.

Sadly, lots of good birds were lacking on our 2 March 2013 trip out of Freeport, New York. Except, of course, for seeing lots of good birds. Oh, it wasn’t for lack of trying. We chummed from when we hit the open water to when we returned to the safe haven of Jones Inlet but never attracted the good gulls for which we were hoping.

India, February 2013. I am camping in the dry-deciduous jungle in eastern Maharashtra, near the geographic heart of India. It is February and evenings are cold. We have rented army-style tents erected on concrete platforms surrounded with shallow but steep-walled ditches. What are these ditches for,” I asked my friend Nitin Bhardwaj.

Nevertheless, only the most important news I did follow, those about the decision-making process on future sales of elephants and their ivory at a global wildlife summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, the first such meeting since 2013. We are facing a plague of poaching that is again decimating the species.

There may be more birds and mammals per square kilometer in South Africa. In any given trip to South Africa, the vehicle I was in (I only drove myself some of the time) probably hit about one vertebrate animal about every 2,000 kilometers, usually a bird.

In 2013, Hurricane Sandy cut up the east coast leaving a swath of destruction in its wake. We ended with 7 species of mammal, including River Otter, Gray Fox, and Marsh Rabbit, but the highlight may have been a little Canebrake Rattlesnake crossing the road at the Bodie Island lighthouse, a lifer herp for me.

The “Wild Rwanda – Where to watch birds, primates, and other wildlife” gives you the info how and where to look for both birds and mammals (not just primates, the title is somewhat misleading). For birds, this guide follows the Clements list (2007, with revisions through 2013), so it is mostly compatible with your eBird app.

2013 was a strange year for me, staring in the UK, ending in Borneo and spending large tracks of the year not really seeing many birds in New Zealand. I list mammals as well, at the end, where I have been able to identify them. I’m a terrible birder and may be wrong about identification.
