10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 18, 2011

Besides the presence of several noted birding personalities, interesting seminars and phenomenal prize give-aways, the real stars of the show were undoubtably the birds. There were literally hundreds of kids there on both days, the majority sporting optics and talking birds. Raptors were perceived to be vermin.

I remember going to a health and safety seminar and struggling to identify potential pitfalls. First off as we drove in was the Crested Serpent-eagle I’ve shown you before. And this cave has lots of nests, so much so that there is a (sustainable) industry in collecting their nests for birds-nest soup.

Therefore, I am jumping at every opportunity to explore a new area, and subsequent birds that might be there. My wife and I have had our boat up in that area many times, and I knew that there would be a good shot to add a few new birds from the far northwest end of the US. Here is a small group shot of those Purple Martins.
