Best Bird of the Weekend (First of October 2021)

10,000 Birds

October can be a fantastic birding season in the right places. My weekend was actually pretty slow from a wildlife appreciation angle, but the bare husks of coneflowers in my garden are still drawing curious American Goldfinches.

10,000 Birds

Up to 100 kg – possibly a female, my guide and a bear researcher from the wildlife charity Callisto, Yannis Tsanakis, tells me. By the last year of the war, the US increased its military aid to the Greek Government and introduced a new weapon: the first napalm attack after World War II took place right here!

Recent Changes to the Costa Rica Bird List

10,000 Birds

Cabanis’s Ground-Sparrow. The name change of a small brown bird, a sparrow, is exciting. Split from birds in northern Central America (the White-faced Ground-Sparrow ), the Cabanis’s becomes a very special bird. Red-breasted Blackbird is a meadowlark. Not every list has Great Tinamou on it.
