Abandonment Birds Hunters Rights 
10,000 Birds
JULY 20, 2017
I bird, therefore I am. Birding defines me, that much is clear. Yet, for the last month and a half I don’t remember doing any birding (my longest pause in the several years, for sure). But what happened to birding? Basically, I managed to cut myself off my favourite birding area. Yet, the site is quite ruined.

The loss of the Passenger Pigeon stings because of the impossible descriptions of the bird’s abundance. But imagine those flocks are verdant green, a color unmatched by any native bird currently in North American (north of Mexico, of course). Barreling into your feeder with reckless abandon and cleaning you right out.

With the lockdown lasting until the end of May (ironically thus pretty much including the whole spring migration – the divine sense of humor is a rather malign one, I am afraid), June still had the freedom of birding anywhere in Shanghai, not just inside a smallish compound. Accessorizing for birds.

Hannah Buschert was first exposed to birds and birding during a required ornithology course at Oregon State University and she quickly caught the birding bug. This is Hannah’s first contribution to 10,000 Birds. Hannah and Erik ready to see some birds! I love to go on cruises.

A month ago I visited this site, right at the edge of Belgrade for the first time, only to discover that I cannot get into the overgrown area in my low-clearance city car. Over a few obstacles, we follow the dirt track into an abandoned and overgrown claypit. Yet, Starlings cannot dig and are happy to use abandoned cavities.

The topic was the concept of humans as predators, or hunters, or really, eaters of meat, and I was discussing the many ways in which people misconceived this notion. Many birds have no sense of smell, many vultures do (helps to find dead things). So that was the first argument for a scavenging phase. You’d starve.
