10,000 Birds

DECEMBER 23, 2014

2014 has been a good year for us at 10,000 Birds.

That’s Redgannet’s BBOTY at the top of the post.

Like a shy stepchild, it’s always eclipsed by the wonders of Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, etc. The source of this ranking, BirdLife International, lists Bolivia as currently having 1,439 bird species, including 18 breeding endemics. Despite the many species covered, Birds of Bolivia never feels cramped for space.
