10,000 Birds

FEBRUARY 28, 2012

Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge, North Dakota. Some birds breed in flocks, at least in part to avoid predation. Shorebirds, of course, are one of the groups of birds most known and loved for their social tendencies. Nesting on steep cliffs makes it practically impossible for mammalian predators to reach them.

The thought of identifying certain groups of birds can incapacitate them. Photographed at Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge, ND. See, it’s not so scary! Photographed at Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge, MT. Birders are a timid bunch. They are scared of all sorts of things. They are fearful of flycatchers. Galled at gulls.

And, it is a guide based on scholarship as well as field work (author Reeber has monitored the birds of the Lac of Grand-Lieu, France, for the National Society for Nature Protection (SNPN) since 1994). This is the first bird guide I’ve reviewed that has utilized and credited a Flickr group, the Bird Hybirds Flickr Forum.
