Fortunately, China still has lots of interesting birding locations left for me. But of course, it is also nice to remember past birding trips. One in November 2018 included a one-day birding trip in the Drakensberg area, a mountain range in the border area between South Africa and Lesotho. That does not make much sense, I know.

When I was a kid (and don’t you hate it when blog posts start like this, with the author apparently just assuming that you care about how he spent his childhood), the first pets we had were a pair of Budgerigars. Talking about Australian birds means coming back to honeyeaters – the White-plumed Honeyeater now.

This is probably a dumb question but what wild animals can I pet like if I ran into a baby one? Like deer, seals, squirrels, foxes, raccoon, beavers, birds, rabbits etc submitted by /u/InternationalPay1357 [link] [comments] Or if one was injured? Like my human scent wouldn’t affect the relationship with the mom?

In my early birding years, rucksacks were of no importance and any could do. I would be leaving it behind anyway, in my kayak club, to continue birding with a paddle in my hands.

This place, called Los Filtros Viejos (the Old Filters) because it used to be Morelia’s main water source, is actually a great place for birding. And there is nothing I can see there that I can’t also see, alongside rarer birds, elsewhere. I love the closeup this bird gifted me.

If you read my last post, you will know that my last three weekly outings were not overly productive, as far as birds are concerned. But any birder can tell you that a bad day birding is better than a good day almost anywhere else. For me, that has a lot to do with all the beautiful places I get to be, while looking for birds.

Pets have been a part of human society for thousands of years, serving as companions, protectors, and even healers. From cats and dogs to birds and reptiles, pets have a unique ability to connect with humans in ways that are both profound and lasting. One of the primary reasons people keep pets is for companionship.

But occasionally people see it – especially when it’s a hard-to-miss bird like this Bald Eagle.

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.
