10,000 Birds

JUNE 18, 2021

Of the thirty or so members of the family Icteridae that go by the name “oriole” on the western side of the Atlantic Ocean, several species are partial enough to fruit that they even visit feeders that offer it as jelly, as the sugar-preserved form usually reserved for human consumption is known. Good birding and happy drinking!

Though these decoys are erected in hopes of warding off all birds, it’s protection from corvids in particular that’s invoked by the scarecrow. Dancing Crow Vineyards Zinfandel (2017). The post “One for the crow”: Dancing Crow Vineyards Zinfandel (2017) appeared first on 10,000 Birds.

If you see a flock of kestrels in southern Europe, then the chances are that they will be Lessers, for the Common Kestrel never flocks, though occasionally in summer you will see a family hunting together. However, a drastic decline followed, and census results for 2016 and 2017 produced counts of around 2,500 pairs.

A family motel and passion for responsible ecotourism brought her home to the Oregon Coast where she and her husband, Erik, adventure and record a podcast ( Hannah and Erik Go Birding ), created in an effort to inspire others to get out and bird.

The main attraction for birders here are the hornbills – I have written about them before , so this post will be more on the other birds I saw there in 2017. The photos of Sultan Tit that I got at Hongbenghe in 2017 were much better than the ones I got on Hainan in 2022. I am only joking! Birds should be free. A worrying trend.

Your last post for 10,000 birds was in 2017. I come from a family where the worse the situation, the faster and more furiously the wisecracks fly, so I suppose I’m hardwired to look for humor. But I only rehabbed birds, so I had to do research and call my mammal rehabber friends. Are you still rehabbing birds? The book is darkly funny.
