You may have read my recent piece on Birding the Okavango Delta in Botswana here on 10,000 Birds. If you have never thought of India as a birding destination, I’d urge you to give it a good look. Fly into Delhi and within an hour you can be birding the lovely Sultanpur wetland reserve. appeared first on 10,000 Birds.

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.

Mark Gamin, a Cleveland lawyer, likes cats and birds both. This is Mark’s first contribution to 10,000 Birds. In Oregon, the Barred Owl is taking over Northern Spotted Owl territory and threatening that smaller bird’s survival. They argue for the elimination of free-range cats entirely.

She runs Birds of Texas Rehabilitation Center in Austin County, Texas. This attitude of superiority and arrogance can be seen in the recent story about a researcher on the Solomon Islands who mist trapped a bird not seen by scientists for fifty years. Can a dead bird educate the researcher on its song? Or how gracefully it flew?

Continuing the celebration of commonplace birds we now hail the ubiquitous Great Blue Heron. As I’ve posted before they are efficient and merciless hunters. And they cough up pellets just like hawks and owls! Their beautiful blue-gray can really pop in the right light. They are true generalists.

It took me a while to wrap my mind around the concept of Birds and People , Mark Cocker and David Tipling’s book that, in 592 pages, explores the intersection of just that—birds and us. Nor have I overlooked “sightings” of birds in movies mouthing other birds’ calls. I’m not sure why.

In answer to the oft-asked question, “What is your favourite bird”, I can usually only narrow it down to three families; Rails, Cuckoos and Owls. Bitterns are birds of fable. The names are supposed to pertain to various odd behaviours observed by cold, wet bittern hunters. They are birds of cold, grey days.

Birds are consumate improvisors and they are always open to the demands of the moment. They are known for capturing ground prey but as generalists they are more than happy to take birds… though Rock Pigeons are on the upper end of their scale.

One of the primary reasons that these hawks make such excellent falconry birds is because they are one of only two raptor species (the other is the Galapagos Hawk ) that hunt cooperatively. Consider the following quote, &# Falconry involves the use of birds of prey to kill other birds and animals for sport.

Most of the books about extinction, including Fuller’s Extinct Birds (now, ironically, out of print), describe what was lost and look for explanations, scientifically and historically. The idea of Lost Animals was conceived after the publication of Extinct Birds (2001), a 400-page, four-pound book on 75 extinct species.
