10,000 Birds

MARCH 3, 2019

Now that we’ve entered the third month of the calendar year, take stock: did your birding March come in like a lion or a lamb? He didn’t see a ton of birds but he did appreciate the number of Snow Geese flocking up at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. My birding was positively sheepish during this busy weekend. How about you?

I am a wildlife artist based in the UK, I have never had a real job! Other than paint, the only other thing I do is organize and joint-lead wildlife tours, mostly in Africa and India. In 2019 I joint-led my seventeenth safari in twelve years with Capture Africa, we are a good team. My name is Ashley Boon.

Suffice to say, their 2019 Teal Lake Shiraz is a far cry from your bubbe’s Manischewitz. Teal Lake Shiraz (2019).
