I didn’t expect to see any birds. I am also from the Northeast, and seeing architecture that reminded me of New York and Connecticut and even my home state of Maine beneath southern Live Oaks and Magnolias felt a bit odd. The post Birding at a Historic Sporting Estate appeared first on 10,000 Birds.

But when a second hummingbird was reported at Lenoir Preserve in Yonkers, New York, it seemed worth checking out, especially because the second bird, unlike the first, which is a Rufous Hummingbird (at left), wasn’t identified to species in the email to the state listserv that alerted birders to its presence.

It’s a brew with unapologetically loud flavors and a bold, lurid can to match featuring Connecticut artist Edgar Allan Slothman’s lively, Day-Glo interpretation of John James Audubon’s portrait of a caracara pair from The Birds of America. Good birding and happy drinking! Four out of five feathers (Excellent).

Since 2016, writers at 10,000 Birds have been contributing checklists to a joint eBird account called the “10,000 Birds Collaborative.” The writers at 10,000 Birds span the globe, but I am particularly interested in the lists for the United States, as that is my “beat.” For the United States, there is also a state list.

I’ve seen Yellow Warblers in the low shrubs of Western New York pastures, the river valleys of Missoula, and the trees of abandoned industrial sites in New York City. Chuk makes his quip about the Black-winged Yellow Bird; my friend Molly insists that everything is a duck, a pigeon, or an owl.

Perhaps most known throughout New York City for mafia ties and a couple of hate crimes against African-Americans, Howard Beach was devastated by Hurricane Sandy. For most residents of the five boroughs, parrots are an anomalous sight in New York City. But once it does the idea is pretty popular.

Not having to work until the afternoon on a Wednesday, I took advantage and decided to go birding yesterday. On my way out I ran into Keir Randall, who had just posted an email letting folks know the bird was still present. The bird worked its way up and down the beach, staying near the dune line.

Originally from London, England, Luke Tiller transplanted to Connecticut in 2003. Newly surrounded by wildlife, he found his love of birds reignited.

Apparently, there is a traditional Chinese saying that seeing one pheasant in the wild is better than seeing ten other birds. Of course, this is nonsense – pheasants are probably among the most overrated of all birds. The name of the bird apparently comes from the color of its tail feathers. Connecticut. New Jersey.

Two-thousand-and-eleven was a pretty darn good year for me, birding-wise. Sure, I didn’t leave the United States but my first trip to the Pacific Northwest allowed me to see lots of new birds and spending the beginning of the year in southern California didn’t hurt the ol’ year list either. Those birds are big!

You rush over to investigate, and there are birds in your fireplace.

Any day of birding in New York State that includes a sighting of a Vesper Sparrow is a better-then-average day.

If birders say they love birds ostensibly because they can fly and we cannot, then there must be no more beloved group of birds than the swallows. These aerial acrobats are among the most impressive flyers in the bird world, darting this way and that over open country in pursuit of flying insects. Til next year.
