In the e-era now, print magazines are going the way of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. This year, the one now coming to a close, has been “The Year of the Bird,” as declared by National Geographic (as well as the National Audubon Society, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and BirdLife International). A: nothing.

Curlews are birds of serious conservation concern in the UK, with numbers falling sharply this century. Curlews are long-lived birds, so their decline is not always apparent, with pairs returning annually to their favoured nesting area, despite not having fledged any chicks for years. Males have noticeably shorter beaks.)

I would be fascinating to know how many species of birds it was pointed at during its time with me, but it must have been well over 1,000. As a bird-tour leader, the scope was an essential part of my equipment, and I became pretty quick at getting it on to distant birds so that my clients could see them, too.

But, sometimes an appreciation of birds and birding requires more than a reference book with images of birds and facts about their identifying field marks. There are large avian handbooks and small ‘how-to bird’ guides, and quite a few excellent books of both types have been published.

Winter is not the greatest time for birding in Shanghai, and this year, there was no escaping to Southeast Asia due to Covid-19. I can go out birding freely – though to be safe, I always bring a bottle of disinfectant along and take a sip every now and then. The obvious local star of the bird world is the Reed Parrotbill.

With Lady Helen’s ringing endorsement of my alternative style of birding for the slow summer months, I began to cast my eye around car parks and into motoring magazines in search of a parallel universe where vehicles would match bird species and July would be the best month of the year. There was no stopping me now.

Of course, if you’re reading this, then birds clearly matter to you, for any one of a number of reasons. You can read the original paper here.)

Jason’s first contribution to 10,000 Birds tackled the importance of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Fish & Wildlife Service released “ Birding in the United States: A Demographic and Economic Analysis.” That’s a lot of birding. Note that the FWS birding report is an addendum to a larger survey not directed to birding.

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?

The American Birding Association celebrates its fiftieth anniversary this year and one aspect of its celebration was a reprint of the first issue of the publication now known as Birding. Thus, at that time, birding information was scarce and local, distributed, if at all, by individuals or rudimentary networks of birders.

Its small size, laid-back nature, and ample opportunities to get up close and personal with birds make it a good fit for experienced birders, but also for people looking to get their feet wet.

Does it involve birds? When an editor asked me for a story that didn’t involve birds (his magazine had just published a story with birds the month before) I found myself stymied for months. I’m bound to birds. This got me thinking about other bird art, visual bird art. Of course it does!

Getting familiar with birds is a process. As a child, poring through the pages of the Encyclopedia of Animal Life (I was gifted this 25 years before I appeared in Audubon magazine myself) birds gripped my attention. Not all the birds, of course, but many of the distinctive and conspicuous species. I was blown away.
