10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 26, 2016

Let me start off with being quite clear, there are no grizzly Bears on the Baja! The upside for me, not to take away from my day with 27 different bears, was the next 6 days all by myself on Kodiak Island, recording as many new bird species as I could find. The number one bird on my list was the iconic Horned Puffin.

As you read this, I am riding my trusty Grizzly Bear through the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park, helping my colleague Seagull Steve find some new birds. Birding by bear is by far the best way to view the park, although it seems to terrify the hoofed animals. Good day to you, my fine fellow birders.

As it turns out, many of those very birds that I had hoped to find, all had the same idea, and had moved out of the park as well. Crows, Ravens, Clark’s Nutcrackers, White-crowned Sparrows and assorted waterfowl were all still present, but that was about it. We picked this as much for the location as its chance for some decent birds.

It has truly been an incredible honor joining the team here at 10,000 Birds. There in no question that the bird of the year for me, at least from a purely photographic stand point is the Black Skimmer. I caught this Lark Sparrow at San Blas, near Magdalena Bay , just as the sun was setting.
