What’s Up with the ABA?

10,000 Birds

Jeff Gordon resigned as president of the American Birding Association, effective November 30, 2021. A week later, on December 7, 2021, the ABA got around to making an announcement on its website. As far as I can tell, this announcement was not posted on any of the ABA Facebook pages and the only mention in the ABA Twitter feed is a retweet of Jeff Gordon’s tweet from his personal account.

Birding Inirida, Colombia: practicalities, part 3

10,000 Birds

Technically, we were in the Orinoco River Basin of wider Amazonia. Yet, unlike the black shoe-sucking mud of Amazon further south, this is Amazonia of white, sandy beaches (!) and no mud at riverbanks. The late November to early December was the beginning of a dry season and no one wore rubber boots, all birding was done in lightweight hiking shoes.

Collaborative list – December 2021

10,000 Birds

A Happy New Year to you all. December in the UK has been the mildest on record with even Lady Helen venturing from the heated rooms to pop her nose outside the door. It has not resulted in extraordinary numbers of sightings personally, but the beats have been busy on their respective patches and have sent me their lists to collate. 8 of them sent 153 lists, noting 645 species of bird across 7 countries (Mexico, UK, USA, Serbia, Australia, Costa Rica, Colombia).

Ending 2021 with the Steller’s Sea Eagle

10,000 Birds

Steller’s Sea Eagle photos through a scope by Gwenne Oberg. It was perhaps the most important text my Aunt Gwenne had ever sent me – a link to a Tweet. Clicking on the blue url, I gasped, my eyes widened, the hair on the back of my neck stood up: the Steller’s Sea Eagle had been spotted in Maine, just over an hour from where I stood at that moment.

Castellare di Castellina: Chianti Classico (2019)

10,000 Birds

Despite being debased and reduced to a mere gastronomic buzzword by American chains of Italian-esque eateries, the offerings of dubious submarine sandwich shops, and bastardized and slapped onto corporate supermarket products labels, the word “Tuscan” can still denote genuine gastronomic excellence in a country of proud regional food traditions. La cocina toscana is famed for dishes with stark peasant origins – clever creations like ribollita , pappa al pomodoro , and panzanella , all delicious

Pressing On

10,000 Birds

One of the reasons that I usually start each year’s species list with a visit to the wetlands of Lake Cuitzeo is that the site offers so many species that I can find nowhere else. My second site for the year, Las Mesas, is attractive for the opposite reason: It brings together species from such a wide range of other sites, but all in one place.

First Bird of the Year in Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

2022 is here, the future is now! I look at that date and as with many others who were born in or before the 70s, I wonder where the time has gone and realize we are living in times that were often illustrated with utopian visions of flying cars and world peace. Not quite there yet… perhaps some day but not until most of us humans live in a sustainable manner that does not excavate and alter basic ecosystem functions we depend on.

Little Corellas in Broome

10,000 Birds

There are large flocks of Little Corellas in Broome that relocate both morning and evening. They mostly fly over the native bush out the back of our property, but when the native trees are in seed they land. The Little Corellas crunch away at the seeds and continue on their journey. Every now and then we have a pair of Little Corellas land in our garden where there are also native plants and a reliable source of water all year round.

Hornbills of South Africa

10,000 Birds

It is now almost exactly two years that I last was outside of China. At some point, my stock of memories of birds seen outside of China will be used up, I am afraid. But for now, I still have the hornbills I saw in South Africa a few years ago. “I’ll always have Paris”, I guess. The bill of the African Gray Hornbill looks like African art, with its carved white ridges.

New Year’s Eve early morning rain

10,000 Birds

There is nothing better than waking up to the sound of rain, especially when it has been so many months without rainfall. At 1:30am on New Year’s Eve the overnight temperature suddenly dropped from 30c to 27c and the raindrops fell! Instead of the torrential rain we often get in our wet season it rained steadily for about an hour. It dropped around 15mm of rain depending on what part of town you live in.

Birding Nonggang, Guangxi, China

10,000 Birds

“Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don’t know.”. This is how blog posts would ideally start. Unfortunately, they rarely do. Nor do they tend to cover existentialist issues such as “The Stranger” (Alfred Camus). Instead, they usually just describe species seen at a specific location, with the vague notion that these descriptions might be interesting to other birders.

Australian White Ibis in Broome

10,000 Birds

Australian White Ibis are one of three Ibis species that we observe here in Broome. They are regularly observed at the Poo Ponds and also along the coast and the local parks. When we receive our wet season rain the Australian White Ibis can easily be observed feeding on the open plains out of town, but at the moment they are taking advantage of the local parks and the coastline.

The Devil in the Details

Working man that I still am, I can not yet spend every day of January trying to build my year list of species. So I pick each outing for maximum effect. Having already done Lake Cuitzeo’s waterfowl and shorebird area, and Las Mesas’ unique combination of highland habitats, week 3 meant it was a time to head downhill and see the lowland specialties of Paso Ancho.
