10,000 Birds

JUNE 5, 2016

May may take honors for the month most of us think of when migration is mentioned, but that doesn’t mean that other months don’t have their charms. June in the Northern Hemisphere brings birds on their breeding grounds, some still frisky and others settled down taking care of their chicks. From a birding perspective, this month offers an abundance of excitement.

Good leftist that he is, Peter Singer doesn't let a crisis go to waste. Addendum: The argument seems to be as follows: It is inconsistent both (a) to eat meat and (b) to condemn (or mourn) the killing of Harambe; I condemn (or mourn) the killing of Harambe; therefore, I may no longer eat meat. Here are some objections: The first premise is false. The first premise is true, but I don't care about inconsistency.

The other day, Redgannet, when sharing the 10,000 Birds combined bird list for 2016 , mentioned that I had made some sort of notable contribution by submitting 25 checklists in one day. That sounds exciting, like there’s some sort of story there. But the truth is perhaps more pedestrian. This is the standard eBird pelagic protocol, which encourages birders to submit a new checklist every 30 minutes or so.

One of the most common parrots around Broome is the Red-winged Parrot and they can often be seen flying around, but I have rarely been able to get any decent photos of them. The problem with Red-winged Parrots is that they are mostly green and they blend in so well that they often don’t stand out and they are usually very cautious too. However, I was able to get some close-up photos not too long ago and it was of a magnificent specimen with really coloured red wings.
