10,000 Birds

JANUARY 7, 2020

Happy New Year, 10,000 Birds readers and writers! Everyone is looking back on their best birds of 2019, so I thought it would be a good idea to look at a book that looks back a little further: Urban Ornithology: 150 Years of Birds in New York City , by P. The Bronx also has a special place in birding history.

The two dozen species are, nearly to an individual, long bodied and bicolored. Icterus galbula is a handsome bird, to be sure. I will broker no argument to the contrary. There is no doubt about it, this is a striking bird. Birds orioles' But that would be incorrect. Take a look at this sucker.

One of the more exciting birds this summer in this little corner of North Carolina is undoubtedly the King Rail s that have been regularly reported in a still-water back-arm of Jordan Lake in Chatham County, just south of where I live. For me, King Rail resides in life bird limbo. The two species I’ve heard but never seen.

There is a wonderful site called UAE Birding , that makes a great reference once you have decided how much time you have to spare and it carries a list of part-time guides who may be able to show you around. My personal list for Safa Park runs to 40+, but upwards of 200 species have been recorded here over the years.

I can’t tell you exactly how I brokered this meeting between these titans of industry and a team from the AOS, either. I brushed the screen of my tablet and the image of a small bird, bold in black and gray and chestnut, filled the screen behind me. “So you seriously propose to let us name birds like we name stadiums?”
