10,000 Birds

APRIL 30, 2017

Way back in the days when blog posts still got a lot of comments, I wrote a piece on why field guides that arrange species in a more or less strict taxonomic order regularly frustrate me. I gave a number of reasons in a great number of paragraphs and got an enormous amount of comments, many of which were highly critical of what I had said. The original post is here , and if you have some left-over time, spending it on going through the comments is time well spent.

The weather is warming up for most of us now, and it’s time to get outside and spend more time with our pets! Awhile back I got to attend a super fun tech afternoon for bloggers.

Around here, we’re getting the last of April showers and the earliest of migrants. Everywhere else, other things are happening. But no matter where you are, you undoubtedly have good reasons to get out and enjoy nature right now. But did you? Every year, I look forward to the arrival, brief as it is, of White-crowned Sparrows to my feeders; this weekend, a gorgeous pair dropped in for breakfast.

After all the rain in the northern part of Western Australia in recent months it is not too surprising that there has been an eruption of Black-tailed Native-hens. We have yet to encounter any around Broome this year and our last sighting here was of the one lone Black-tailed Native-hen last year. No doubt they will soon arrive as the smaller ephemeral lakes and swamps start to dry out, but for now there are large flocks of them to the south in the Pilbara.
