Apo near Davao City, PEC is the site of a Philippine Eagle conservation breeding program. So, I highly recommend reading “In The Aerie Of The Philippine Eagle” , by Greg Breining an excellent article published in the September 2017 issue of Living Bird , the magazine of the Lab of Ornithology, before or after viewing the film.

Many sad and unfortunate things occurred in 2016, but the birding was good. I think this might be my best bird of 2016. Greater Adjutants are huge birds that were once widespread across much of Southeast Asia; today there are two small breeding populations in India and Cambodia. Bring on 2017! It was a good birding year.

Several years ago, I read about the enormous colonies of breeding birds in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and I did some research to satisfy my curiosity.

In 1987, only 27 were left in the wild and drastic action was taken to save the species: all remaining birds were captured, the California Condor was declared extinct in the wild, and a captive breeding program was begun, initially carried out by the San Diego Wild Animal Park and the Los Angeles Zoo.

The year 2016 was not a particularly birdy year for me, mostly because I didn’t get to go on business trips to Indonesia or Kazakhstan, as was frequently the case during the last few years. I did not see any lifers whatsoever in 2016, making it my first lifer-free year since around 2010. 1, my best bird of the year… 10.

A friend of 10,000 Birds, he talked to Corey about his mission to create this guide in 2012 and wrote about his goal to create a Spanish-language version of the guide in 2017. Many birders are familiar with Gallardo’s fundraising initiatives, which included a speaking tour in the U.S., Europe, and Honduras itself. Conclusion.
