Last weekend hosted many of the international organized bird watching festivities, but every weekend offers the opportunity for avian observation excitement. As serene as that sounds, seeing these birds now just reminds me that they’re on their way to warmer climes and won’t be back for many months. How about you?

Sukau birding essentially means staying in a more-or-less comfortable lodge on the banks of the Kinatabagan river, and taking boat tours on more-or-less rickety boats on the river. So, just photos of the birds themselves. Why that makes Mr. Graydon worthy of having a bird species named after him is a mystery to me.

You might think that birds don’t change the world, birds are the world – but by his odd title, Ten Birds That Changed the World, author Stephen Moss means, he says, that birds have, in various ways, led to “paradigm shifts” in human history. Maybe Moss is right, and birds have changed history. Fine and dandy.

That means it also has many tropical birds that a foreigner living in China can see without risking to leave the country (which would mean 2 weeks of quarantine on reentry at best and complete exclusion at worst, depending on the ever-changing regulations).

Most of the usual birds seem present, a frog or two call from a small wetland, and a few other expected animals are there too. We would marvel over cheery flocks of green and bright yellow Carolina Parakeets and then we would see them decline until there were just two, maybe one lonely bird, and then we would witness their forever absence.

It may look like a cartoon, but while birding Philippines, Phoebe Snetsinger literally slept in a prison, because its buffer zone held the only remaining forest in the agricultural landscape. And we’re nowadays complaining that some organisms left those forests to enter our wastelands? Some will make it, some will not.

In the birding realm, it means a new year list, beginning the year with winter birds, and planning trips for the next 12 months. Tennessee Warbler is one of my winter birds. Time is relative but the first day of the first month of a brand new year also acts as a good moment for making birding resolutions. See More Birds.

There was a time when I thought each bird species had its own individual song. Then I found out that there was this vocalization called a ‘call,’ so I thought each bird species had its own individual song (but just the males) and individual call.
