The book focuses on two listing events: her 2012 Louisiana Big Year and her 2016 Louisiana 300 Year. Marybeth and Lynn chase birds familiar and unfamiliar to me, a Northeastern birder, and I’m sure it will be the same for any reader in North America. And there are the birds.

In Better Living Through Birding , Chris tells us stories of his life, a very unique life, but he also crafts his experiences so we can relate to them as birders and as people. Because being a birder means you experience life through that framework. And, as he did a decade ago, the joys and benefits of birding.

Do we really need to talk about sad events?). For those of us with the great good fortune to bird in Latin America, or other less-studied biological regions, my experience suggests that we are much more likely to benefit from the new species created by such splits.

Non-bird watchers without binoculars and experience are notoriously bad sources of information. In any event, by mid summer or so, the babies are not so small and more or less do OK on their own and hang around the nest.

After these trogons, the eBird description of the Yellow-bellied Prinia as “brightly-colored for a prinia” sounds a bit like the dialogue from Succession: “Tom: ‘The poorest rich person in America. I am sure one could make a very boring movie based on the events described in this paper.

Mike is a familiar face to anyone who regularly attends birding events as he is one of the faces of Nikon Sport Optics for the birding world. As his passion for birding grew he decided to travel Latin America; he has spent time in Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela and a great deal of time in Brazil. Over time the hobby grew into a career.

Someone of your birding experience may already recognize the problems posed by such little diversity among American birders which include: So many people are missing out on the fun and benefits of birding. The sustainability of the birding community is at risk if it does not look like the rest of America. Be forewarned. It’s YOU! *If

The San Blas Christmas Bird Count is a popular event amongst international birders and close to 300 species have been recorded during a single day.

Because when you’ve painstakingly built your life list over the years, visiting the corners of North America for specialties and pushing your ABA list to 600 or so, Alaska almost always remains as the last place a birder can visit where bucket-loads of lifer, the sort of haul you really only get in the early years, are still possible.

Unfortunately, this morph is the dominant one at Fuzhou NFP”) that somehow survived the review process, possibly because the reviewer has had similar experiences.
