My readers are already familiar with Beljarica Backwaters, as described in half a dozen posts here at 10,000 Birds. It all started well three decades ago, when I intensively birded the Danube Backwaters by kayak. The post Beljarica Backwaters: Some good news announced (but not yet official) appeared first on 10,000 Birds.

Saturday was set aside for birding. Redgannet was in town and had all day to get out looking for birds so I had booked us for the pelagic trip out of Freeport and our plan was to find his life Snowy Owl and then get on the boat and enjoy a host of alcids, gulls, and gannets.

Be water birds, be air birds. Be water birds, be air birds. Apparently the man with his head buried in a book is not interested in the “idle&# behavior of birds, and, by extension, those who would watch them. Twirl on, you and your satin blue. Be these purple tumblers you are. What is there to analyze here?

If you do eBird , there’s a pretty good chance you were birding somewhere on May 13th. You may have birding from the window of your home, you may have been counting birds at a local wildlife refuge, you may have been counting birds on a feverish run from one end of a state to the next. instead of midnight.

My own trip was not an intensive birding experience, and August is clearly not the most productive month. I chalked up 132 species in a pretty relaxed eight days, during which birds shared the agenda with culture. What has changed in the meantime? Black Stork and three pairs of White-tailed Eagles breed here. eBird bar chart. #2

Take, for instance, the word “ruddy” Outside of birding, when was the last time you used it? And yet, we birders know it refers ot a particular shade of purplish red, as used to describe a duck, or a ground-dove, or a turnstone. Concrete is hardly the most natural environment for photography, but you takes what you gets.
