10,000 Birds

Upon arrival we were given strict and non-flexible rules: never go even one inch off the ice paths, never allow the tiniest piece of litter to escape, never interact in any way with the wildlife, and cause absolutely no environmental damage. The justification was ridiculously laughable: in order to further study the species.

It was interesting to see how few blue items it had been able to collect in that environment. We are used to seeing the bower of the Great Bowerbird and the huge display of collected items and this was somewhat lacking! We also had Eastern Whipbirds hopping along the edge of the road tossing the leaf litter about in search of food.

There is a lot of extreme behavior here (and a lot of that behavior takes place in Australia), but this is not simply a collection of the world’s most fantastic bird tales.

Slaty-backed Gull at a dump, Baikal Teal at a sewage pond, Yellow-green Vireo at some random park in the ghetto…if a place collects birds, birders will go there. A marsh littered with garbage will still provide refuge for a bittern, considering in many places most wetlands simply don’t exist any more.

The reason most bird blogs start collecting dust over time and eventually become derelict is not because the blogs are total rubbish (shocking, I know), but because people just can’t commit to posting with any regularity. Like the Magnolia Warbler (above) must go north every spring, the blogger must blog. Don’t be self-conscious.

Data collection for the Second Breeding Bird Atlas Project of Pennsylvania took place from 2004 through 2009, roughly twenty years after the first official atlas project, 1983 through 1989. It was a gigantic, innovative project that collected and catalogued massive amounts of data about birds, habitat, and ecological change.

Scimitar babblers use these long downcurved bills to work through the leaf litter – they are rather terrestrial birds. The scimitar gave the name to a group of birds, the 17 species of scimitar babblers (claims that these birds were named after the Scottish naturalist Edgar Scimitar, 1755-1806, are plainly wrong).
