How about 500 and then 300 and then another 500 and so on, moving constantly past like some odd version of a winter finch irruption or spring blackbird migration. From the Amazon to Ohio, protecting birds also means protecting habitat through supporting and promoting sustainable use from home to the foothills of Colombia.

My camera and binoculars, protected by the light coat I had packed, were wet but fully functional. The Red-winged Blackbirds were wet. But I went through some anxiety concerning those. Not only was I very, very wet, so were the birds that I saw. I’m fond of photos of birds in a visible mist or drizzle.

The juvenile Chinese Blackbirds get older but still look kind of stupid. Tragically, I never saw any birds near the nest later on – I guess they abandoned it, decided to quit procreating, or just got eaten by some other bird or cat.

Costa Rica is well known for national parks and other protected areas than offer access to tropical ecosystems dripping with biodiversity. Blackbirds. Great-tailed Grackles are a given, we also had Bronzed Cowbird, Melodious Blackbird, and a few Montezuma Oropendolas. Lots of birds, a lot of really cool birds!

Thanks to protection, tame and easy to see at various sites! This fancy thing is a crow-sized blackbird! Not all that rare, just shy but you might see it on a quite walk in the Monteverde Reserve. Or, one might even appear at the Colibri Cafe. Great Curassow. Purple-throated Mountain-gem. Ornate Hawk-Eagle. Sooty-capped Chlorospingus.

Little seemed to have changed, other than a brand new LEED-certified environmental center that had been built near the terminus of the protected area. Osprey and Royal Terns soared on the coastal winds overhead, and Red-winged Blackbirds sounded their raspy calls just about everywhere. A view of low-tide.

Hopefully, seeing these birds and learning about them will also make you understand that it is important to protect them and nature in general.

Red-breasted Blackbird is a meadowlark. However, no matter how one enjoys or takes in interest in the avian side of life, an official list of the birds for a given area is of vital importance. What makes it even more special is the fact that it can be rather hard to see and is very possibly endangered.

We worship birds, we hunt birds, we protect birds, and, yes, we eat birds. As they say, the relationship is complicated.
