What to Expect when Birding Costa Rica at Virgen del Socorro

10,000 Birds

Coming to Costa Rica? Want to go to Costa Rica? All birders should say yes because the small country where I live is easier to visit than a lot of people think. If the home birding patch is in Canada or the United States of America, it’s not really that far. Get on the plane anywhere from North Carolina to Texas or Florida and we are talking three to four hours.

How Long Must We Live With These Wildlife Conservation Myths?

10,000 Birds

What myths am I referring to? The myths that hunters and anglers pay for the majority of our wildlife conservation (debunked in my post on The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and Who Pays for It ) and the misconception that “predator management” is a necessary part of the wildlife conservation equation. A recent article by Richard Foster from Counter Punch titled “ The Fracking of Conservation: State Wildlife Agencies Invite Oil and Gas Industry to Fund Wildlife M

Blue Jays On the Move

10,000 Birds

Many aspects of fall migration are not calculated to appeal to a bone-idle birder such as myself. The warblers are confusing. The raptors are confusing and distant. The shorebirds are confusing AND distant AND you will probably fall into quicksand and die. Far better just to stay inside and write about birds! But that’s sort of cheating. Happily, there is one facet of the fall migration here in NYC that I’ve come to cherish; the annual movement of Blue Jays.

Where Are You Birding This Second Weekend of September 2016?

10,000 Birds

Early September still feels a lot like late August, except for those night breezes carrying the scent of the season to come. Plus birds… those night breezes are harbingers of the next great wave of migrants. Are you ready? I’ll be kicking around Rochester seeing what the wind blows in this weekend. Corey will be doing the same in Queens.

Birthday Brunch

10,000 Birds

Note: By the time this gets posted, Hurricane Newton will have passed right thru La Paz, packing 100+ MPH winds. I am posting this on Monday night, as I do not expect to have power or internet service by this time tomorrow. Sunday was my birthday. That being said, I slept in, and then took my lovely wife for a ride thru the southern Baja desert, to a beachside resort, Gran Sueno Resort.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of September 2016)

10,000 Birds

I don’t know how the last few months treated the southern half of the world, but those of us north of the equator just enjoyed (or endured) the hottest summer on record. And while this scorching season may technically be rolling on until the equinox, today serves as the official unofficial last day of summer in the U.S. Then comes what will likely be a very warm fall.

Eastern Reef Egrets

10,000 Birds

After the last three weeks of introducing you to our closest river, which is the Fitzroy River at Langi Crossing I thought it was time to return you to our coastline around Broome. There is a lot of reef around the Broome coastline, but often it is submerged at high tide and the local Eastern Reef Egrets stand up high on the surrounding cliffs and rocks.

At Sea With the Marine Birds of the Raincoast: A Book Review

10,000 Birds

At Sea With the Marine Birds of the Raincoast opens with the unexpected appearance of a Laysan Albatross. Do I need to say anything more? We are all suckers for an albatross, at least in the United States. The opening beautifully encapsulates the essence of the book. The author, conservation biologist Caroline Fox, is observing the albatross’s shadow to the side of the boat.

Combined Beats’ List – August

10,000 Birds

Big up for Corey. Our very own “Mr July” piled on the pelagics during August. In so doing, he has helped to push us through the 1900 milestone. But our pin-up for August and worthy of a double-page-spread, is Duncan who is currently sharing from South Africa. Duncan has contributed to break through the unspoken target of 2000 birds for 10,000 Birds and on to a running total of 2011 as at August 31st.

My First West Coast Pelagic Trip

10,000 Birds

Here in New York we are at quite the disadvantage when it comes to pelagic trips. To get out to the deep water we have to cruise for hours which necessitates leaving late in the evening, trying to sleep on an uncomfortable, moving boat, and waking up in the predawn hours to spend not-enough-time amid amazing birds before suffering through the long, boring ride through the “dead zone” back to shore.
