10,000 Birds

The female Mistletoebird has moved out of the nest to help feed the chicks and the male Mistletoebird is definitely contributing to a large extent. Here are some of the photos that I have taken over recent days of the Mistletoebird family. The feeding of the two Mistletoebird chicks has been relentless over the past week.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of July 2021)

10,000 Birds

I enjoyed Shakespeare in the Park this weekend, a tradition I definitely missed last year.

Swarovski Skills Camp, or men and their toys

10,000 Birds

I am still tired from the long drive, but it was great to play with the very best toys for birders, to be able to share experiences and to ask the factory staff all sorts of silly questions. You know that classical definition of what separates men from boys? impressive for Central Europe. Merely the price of their toys.

He is also a serious birder (and a birding friend), and his birding observations and adventures are used throughout the book to introduce evolutionary questions and illustrate the mental interplay between personal experience and scientific curiosity.

Vagrancy in Birds: A Book Review

10,000 Birds

It also summarizes the vagrancy status of every bird family in the whole wide world, which makes it fun to read as well as superbly educational. But it’s a very fluid definition, as the book makes very clear. The Family Accounts are the fun part of the book. It’s not always easy reading.
