After taking an ornithology course last year, he was hooked and spends most of his free time birding or reading birding blogs. Because I am relatively new to birding, this resource proved to be invaluable. The other handy resources that I packed were my Nikon Action 8×40 binoculars and Canon Rebel T3 camera with a 75-300mm lens.

There are other resources that do this better, he says, and, in fact, spends 10 pages recommending field and advanced bird guides, web sites, magazines, and listservs. Lovitch rightly recommends David La Puma’s Woodcreeper website as “one of the best and most accessible blogs about birding by radar”.

The breeding ecology of the Yellow-bellied Warbler was actually studied exactly here at Nonggang in 2019 by 3 Chinese researchers.

The source of this ranking, BirdLife International, lists Bolivia as currently having 1,439 bird species, including 18 breeding endemics. Like most maps, colors are used to indicate seasonal status (breeding resident, Austral migrant/visitor, Boreal migrant, etc.). Distribution maps are also different from other field guides.

I write a lot about climate change on my other blog , and so I don’t really feel a strong need to touch on this topic very often here. Pulling back from the sea, and avoiding long term investment in areas that will shortly be inundated (and moving those resources elsewhere) is good policy. We should be expecting sea level rise.

In one simple blog post, it is impossible to address even the most basic questions about bird migration.
