10,000 Birds

I had a reservation to stay at Hardwar Gap for the night, previously thinking that I would need the extra full day to look for Jamaican Blackbird and Crested Quail-Dove, which I decided to honor. I told her that I had three target birds left to see, and she gestured at a tree near the guesthouse where three Jamaican Owls were roosting.

I am writing (hopefully, by the time this posts, have written) on the odd confluence of good birding territory and historic gay cruising zones. The subject begs for facile metaphors and easy comparisons, and rejecting such is one of my favorite hobbies after birding itself. I applaud responsibility, but please don’t litter.)

I have become very familiar with the birds along the trail. One of the most common birds that I have encountered is the Eastern Yellow Robin. Grey Fantails are also another very common bird in the area and you are guaranteed to see them on this section of the trail. Fish Creek train station building. White-necked Heron.

But when he finally encounters a birder who’s more interested in protecting the environment than racking up big lists, he mocks her for her concerns about trampling off path and littering. That said, I suspect that the primary audience for Tarte’s book is not birders. He reaches for nothing broader.

Last Sunday Grant was able to leave work in the afternoon and I had researched options of places we could get to within one hour of the city of Melbourne using public transport that would offer us some birding opportunities. I could almost do a post just on rear ends of birds high up in the canopy! Acacia Track. Eastern Yellow Robin.
