10,000 Birds

NOVEMBER 24, 2015

Though I have been birding for a few years now, I had only birded west of the Mississippi once before my recent trip to Austin, Texas. These birds live in Texas and the southwest, and until that power line I had never seen one. Again, they are fairly common in the Southwest and Mexico, but for me they felt brand new!

Now you should have a sense of the excitement elicited by the Great Texas Birding Classic ! The Great Texas Birding Classic covers the extent of what else but the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, 500 miles of phenomenal habitat covering the Gulf Coast from the east Texas Piney Woods to the lower Rio Grande Valley.

Anthony also has a brand new blog ! Mary Beth Stowe is hoping to tick 350 species along the lower Texas Coast this year and has netter 307 so far. A twelve-year-old birder, Skyler Bol , is shooting for 400 species for the year and he is easily going to make it, as he has already ticked 389!

I also enjoyed reading the company histories of familiar brands like Duncraft, Kaytee, Droll Yankee, and Wagner all of which started as family companies, some as offshoots of other businesses, some as the result of clever inventions. The authors’ interest expanded into this book, published by Texas A&M University Press.

Consider Charlie Stenholm, a former Texas Congressman turned agricultural lobbyist. These birds do not have to have access to the outdoors and are housed in such overcrowded sheds that they can barely move around, and yet, they are deceptively marketed as "free roaming" to conscientious compassionate consumers. Doublespeak at its worst.
