Since then he has traveled the globe, his passion for birds growing with each new encounter. One reason that I can think of for subjecting myself to such a torturous experience is if I am going birdwatching. I had never been to Colombia before so didn’t know the best birding spots in the vicinity of the capital.

We here at 10,000 Birds thought this would be a perfect time to look back and figure out what each of us considered our Best Bird of the Year, just like we did last year. Not only did we not expect to see this seabird this far inland, it was a life bird for me! We would like you to join in!

If you had your choice of one bird family to pursue, to seek out and observe and photograph and kvell over, which one would you choose? A passion for one bird family is also very useful. It provides goals and a definite direction for your birding travels and thoughts; sometimes it even becomes the basis of a book!
