With my favorite Shanghai birding place at Nanhui getting gradually destroyed under the watchful eyes of the local government favoring Tesla over terns, I have been searching for some alternative Shanghai locations with less ongoing construction, fewer people, and hopefully more birds.

This is what happens to countless birds each year when they land the wrong way on power distribution lines and poles. But occasionally people see it – especially when it’s a hard-to-miss bird like this Bald Eagle. You can find a whole page of information on bird electrocutions on the US Fish and Wildlife Service website.

While not on the scale of bird migration, it is routinely and somewhat lazily described as the biggest annual migration of humans in the world. Like a film star wearing a whig and big sunglasses in a public place, this bird at first glance looks fairly nondescript. Once the bird takes up a different position, it gets more interesting.

Nadeem Shehzad and his brother Mohammad Saud take in about 1400 injured birds per year in Delhi, India – an enormous number. The wildlife centers set up lodging, local transportation, and meetings with their directors and veterinarians. They are self-taught and pay for almost all of it out of their own pockets.

It is often useful to look at satellite images on Google Earth to see where there is suitable habitat for different bird species. Sometimes it can be disappointing when the area has changed due to development and other times you can find some unlikely birds. As with anywhere in Singapore, it is easy to access by public transport.

One of the best features about Singapore is the fact that wherever you go there are birds. Admittedly we did not go into the downtown area once during our three week stay, but wherever there are trees there are birds and Singapore is a green city. Another really good feature of Singapore is the excellent public transport system.

Birders derive “value” from birding. But does the value of a particular trip come from the number of birds seen, viewing a particular species, seeing an endangered species, catching a glimpse of a rarity, adding a lifer, or something else? How much do birders value a birding experience? This includes bird-watching experiences.
