As the year is closing, I am looking back to realise, despite it being such an awful year, it’s far from the worst I had, it doesn’t even come close (it’s the mileage that’s killing me, I guess). The post Birding Serbia in the 2020 appeared first on 10,000 Birds. I wish you all a happy, healthy and bird-rich new 2021.

As uncertain as the future may be, I’m sure we’re all ready to bid farewell to the year 2020. As we’d just eaten our breakfast with the blackbirds, Katherine and I had some time to kill before our next meal. The post Farewell to 2020 – Marin Brewing Company: Albion Amber Ale appeared first on 10,000 Birds.

Superstitions about the Red-tailed Streamerbird’s supernatural powers continue today and it’s considered bad luck to kill one.

Nate Swick, Frank Izaguirre, and I discussed Big Year books on the ABA Podcast in 2020.* Are there butterfly or mammal big years? (If If you know of any, let me know in the comments.) Our main question was: What is it about Big Year books that makes birders gobble them up like candy? Is it the competitive aspect?

The second trip was in the rain and it killed my camera but fortunately not the memory card as the image above shows. Here’s hoping that 2020 is even close to as good a birding year as 2019 has been. Losing the camera was worth it. Just look at that magnificent beast! What more could a birder want? What more could a birder need?

It was the same day George Floyd was killed. Reading this chapter, I thought back to the emotional conversations I, a white Jewish woman, had with birding friends back in May 2020, mostly online (remember, it was still the pandemic). I remember that day. It’s powerful writing. Shockingly, not everybody supported Chris.
