Birdwatching in Northern Greece by Steve Mills: Third Edition

10,000 Birds

If you’ve birded in Spain, possibly more than once, and are considering another Mediterranean country to quench your thirst, look to the east. Steve Dudley, a bird guide and author of the Lesvos birding guide, once told me: “Greece is THE premier birding location in Europe for me [and for yours truly as well]. Wider than Lesvos, it also offers other spectacular birding locations such as Kerkini , Dadia, and the Evros Delta – they can all be combined in an easy enough week or two-week birdi

5 Candidates for the Most Popular Bird in Costa Rica

All birds have value. I do believe that but…if I had to choose between a Rock Pigeon and a Golden-hooded Tanager, you can guess where I’d be focusing the binos! It’s hard not to look at the Golden-hooded Tanager. Let’s face it, some birds are more popular than others. There are bird species with the power of personality and feathered friends with super migratory prowess.

A Little Neck-breaking Never Hurt

10,000 Birds

Tropical forests that are worlds away from comfortable feeder set-ups are notorious for making birders work for their sightings. Operating in the sphere of ecotourism, I understand the undeniable appeal of luxury birding – sipping coffee in flip-flops behind a tripod, binoculars within comfortable reach as multitudes of multicoloured birds descend upon the mossiest of perches at eye level to gorge on ripe bananas and papaya.

Urban Birding in San Diego

10,000 Birds

San Diego has a lot going for it. There are beautiful beaches, a plethora of amazing food and drinks, a multitude of family fun locations, a world-renowned zoo, and one of the biggest birding festivals in the US. My family visited San Diego every year as part of a Disneyland-SoCal Road trip to escape the rainy Christmases at home near Portland, Oregon.

I am teaching for 25 hours in a Presbyterian Theological Seminary, as well as speaking at a Baptist church on Sunday, so there was lots of preparation involved. Because of the intensive work commitment here, I have not been able to go anywhere except the urban church and the grounds of the Seminary.

Binocular snobbery

10,000 Birds

Just as the make and condition of a car tells you a lot about its owner, so a person’s binoculars tell you a lot about their user. I am sure that all serious birders are guilty of looking at a fellow birdwatcher’s binoculars and concluding, rightly or wrongly, a lot about the person behind them. Here in the UK the Austrian manufacturer Swarovski dominates the quality end of the birding market, outselling by a sizeable margin its German-based rivals, Zeiss and Leica.

More Winter Birding in Bonn

10,000 Birds

Winter birding in Bonn generally appears to be rather bleak, but I can’t really complain with the Wallcreeper that spent several weeks just outside the city. Now that this bird has seemingly moved on, I had to find other species to distract me, but fortunately that was not too hard. Adding to a post in January on birding in Bonn in winter , I have had the chance to get out on a few more birding walks here and there in the city on weekends.

Birding Hongbenghe, Yunnan (Part 1)

10,000 Birds

Hongbenghe is directly at the border to Myanmar – before COVID-19, it was easy enough to walk across the border on foot, but now a monstrous long steel and barbed-wire fence separates the two countries. Very appealing to tourists nostalgic for that iron curtain feeling. This is the home of the Rusty-naped Pitta , admittedly one of the less glamorous of the family, particularly the subspecies found in Yunnan, but still a nice sight and still a pitta.

Experiencing Spring at EVOA

Mid-February is an early start for spring – even this far south – but spring is spring, and birds were waiting. I decided to go back to the Lezírias and specifically, visit EVOA. My plan was to do research for this post, so I decided to enter as a common mortal and not use the electronic pass.

Dawn Over the Mighty Rupununi

10,000 Birds

The millions of stars and galaxies twinkling over the Rupununi Savanna in Guyana seem to reluctantly fade into a gradually lightening sky as the eastern horizon reddens. The Pakaraima mountains slowly materialize from the darkness, silently encircling the flatness of the savanna. This places feels almost as if herds of zebra and giraffe are just out of view.
