10,000 Birds

MARCH 15, 2021

Guyana is an Amerindian word meaning “land of many waters” but it could just as easily mean “land of many birds”. Before I delve into some of these avian treasures let me give you a few non-birding reasons to visit this gem of South America. Not a great look for a middle-aged birding dude. Wilderness. Guyana is WILD.

I am, of course, referring to Alligator mississippiensis , more commonly known as the American Alligator , or, colloquially, as gators. As a resident of New York City the only predator I am ever concerned about while birding near my home is other people. Though alligator attacks are rare they do happen.

Dragan continues to be teacher’s pet simply by sharing as he goes. It is a dream, nay, a mission statement of 10,000 Birds to see as many of the World’s birds as possible. Thus, a combined list of current beat writers will be compiled to see how many birds, weird and wonderful, common or unusual we can find between us.
