Among all the birding locations I have found, Pino Real was my first love. I was just getting back into birding, and had only gone to some urban sites, during 2012 and 2013. And this was once a wonderful patch of bird-rich understory. I honestly thought it was an entirely different bird! Now it is just… grass.

Louisiana is a magical place to bird. At the same time I was ogling Scissor-tailed Flycatchers and Upland Sandpipers, Marybeth Lima was also birding Louisiana. Chapter Two is a potpourri of stories about nemesis birds, birding by ear, birding for science, under the rubric of birding ‘for the love of it.’

I have followed the breeding activity of the Pied Oystercatchers in Broome along Cable Beach since July 2000 when I found the first nest site and the birds have continued to use the same territories, though there have been some partner changes. Birding Australia Broome oystercatcher' Pied Oystercatcher returns to Cable Beach.

Producing a book about birds and nesting is a dangerous business. The truth is that there are few images cuter than baby birds in the nest opening their mouths and begging for food, but there are curmudgeons amongst us, myself included, who don’t like to admit this. And of birds courting and mating. We simply refuse to squee.

Heinrich never answers the question definitively (but then lots of questions about bird behavior don’t have definite answers, not to us). There’s a remarkably similar photo, of the nest of a west coast swallow, the Violet-green, in this July 2014 post (the third one down.)).

Birding in Germany was okay during the first half of the year but essentially came to an end in June due to several issues, most significantly a move to a different appartment within Heidelberg. You can see my birding activities abroad and within Germany on the maps at the top of this post. 1, my best bird of the year… 10.

By Louis-Jean Germain Influenced by his mother, Louis-Jean Germain has long been interested in art, and in recent years, he has become an avid painter of Asian birds. Germain has lived in East Asia since 2014. A that point in time, I could not imagine the adventure that I was going to experience and how birds would have rescued me.
