10,000 Birds

I am still tired from the long drive, but it was great to play with the very best toys for birders, to be able to share experiences and to ask the factory staff all sorts of silly questions. At the end of the 20th century (and before the ELs were born), the factory hired consultants to help it restructure and maximise profits.

If you think it is rather pretentious to start a birding blog post with a Kafka story, I fully agree with you. Anyway, the story is not quite how I remembered it, to be honest, but fitting enough to describe the almost claustrophobic birding experience in ever-shrinking Nanhui. I just want to point out it could be much worse.

I was describing the area we were going to and the target birds ( European Rollers – cover digiscoped in the rain in the same area, Ortolan Buntings , etc.). Rollers were cooperative, several birds including a pair in an old oak tree. Anyway it was a great experience with you and I am glad that I took the chance.”.

With the lockdown lasting until the end of May (ironically thus pretty much including the whole spring migration – the divine sense of humor is a rather malign one, I am afraid), June still had the freedom of birding anywhere in Shanghai, not just inside a smallish compound. Accessorizing for birds.

Driving north from Belgrade, we had two flocks of Common Cranes , about 100 birds, flying low in formation near the Carska bara Ramsar site – November is the height of their autumn migration. The birds themselves are very unobtrusive and hard to spot, but there is a tell-tale sign: their droppings.

There are bird feeders and then there are squirrel feeders disguised as bird feeders, a fact known well by those of us who have committed a part of our lives to our yard birds. And, although I grew up in a house with a great yard, my parents were not of the bird-feeding persuasion. At least, feeder birds.

In a recent post, Corey listed five things to do when it is too cold to go birding and one of those things is planning birding travel. Here in Portland, Oregon, it is more frequently too rainy rather than too cold to go birding, at least comfortably. Thus, my “good birds” are likely the opposite of an eastern birder.
