Oostvaardersplassen

10,000 Birds

However – and I am not saying this out of misplaced national pride – there is one bird in the Netherlands that proves Jefferson wrong and Buffon right: the White-tailed Eagle (or Sea Eagle ). The rooms are floating in a pond and the pond provides a home for a Eurasian Beaver family. The beavers agreed. It’s the only Dutch eagle.

Animal Idea for project

Reddit Animals

My friends suggested a spider knitting, a bird as a singer, or a beaver as a construction worker, but I would like more ideas :)) thanks! My friend is doing a cat as a chef “making biscuits” and I wanna do something similar to that, where I connect a habit of an animal to an occupation.

Fur and Fangs rather than Feathers and Beaks

10,000 Birds

Note the short legs, stout body and white rump and tail I see Muntjac on virtually every birding (or dog-walking) outing, as these small Asian deer are now very numerous around my home in the Suffolk Brecks. Another lost mammal in the UK now becoming re-established here due to re-introductions is the European Beaver.

The Danube Backwaters

10,000 Birds

As you know, I started to bird from a canoe, exploring the Danube backwaters in Belgrade, Serbia. When inundated, in spring, it is exciting to paddle through the trees, yet birds that often forage on the ground will be pushed away. What I have always missed there and what I still miss is to experience presence of the European Beaver.

Birders As Family

10,000 Birds

What is up with the birding community in the northern part of the US recently? The event brings in people of color in the birding world and we engage in discussion to find out why birding is a bit white in nature and what we can do to be more inclusive. I digiscoped the above bird after waiting for 15 minutes.
