'Some time ago, I was doing research of waterbird migrations with a friend of mine, a young ornithologist currently busy writing his Ph.D. thesis and trying to annoy most of us by uplisting some subspecies to full species and downlisting some species into mere races! A knowledgeable birder and great company, he was able to forget just about everything.

'So attentive readers may have noticed that there are quite a lot of Snowy Owls in the eastern US this year. In contrast, Montana is a bit short on the big white guys. So, having come out to the Olde Homestead for the holidays, I decided to try to get my eyes on one. At first, things did not go so well. By ‘at first’ I mean ‘while my plane was landing at the Buffalo airport’, where an excited chatter arose from passengers on the other side of the plane once they disembark

'Steve Leddy is a business writer and editor, based at various times in London, Dublin, and Paris and once even part-owned a villa in Tobago, where the birdlife is out of this world. Steve now live in the Auvergne volcanic region a few hours south of Paris, where the birds sometimes inspire him to verse. This is his first contribution to 10,000 Birds: Near the lightning breach in my blister-barked beech –.

'After covering so many depressing stories lately (especially bad if you are an eagle in the U.S. , or a Snowy Owl in New York City ), it’s time to turn to the lighter side of the bird news beat. For instance: Four swans a’surfing … No, that’s not how “The 12 Days of Christmas” goes, but it’s the perfect way to describe this viral video. (Image above from Nine News, Channel Nine) I mean, these Black Swans appear to enjoy catching some waves, and it’s just a few days before the holiday.

'The end of the year is nigh and birders the world over are looking over their checklists and reminiscing about their amazing sightings and devastating dips. As 2013 draws to a close we here at 10,000 Birds thought that it would be a great idea if we, like we did in 2010 , 2011 , and 2012 , shared our Best Birds of the Year. Each Beat Writer was offered the opportunity to include what they thought was the most excellent avian to cross their path this year and the variety that they came up with

'We may all perceive time differently, but in the modern world we are all subject to the same calendar. As the year 2013 accelerates towards its imminent endpoint, I find myself deluged with end-of-year tasks both mundane and inspired. Instead of easing into the last days of December and out of 2013, you might consider redoubling your efforts to end this year on a triumphant note.

'Black Guillemots in New York State have not been kind to me. First of all, one has never just shown up in front of my scope when I was birding, which isn’t terribly surprising, but considering the amount of time I spend at the coast in winter it also wouldn’t be terribly surprising if I had found one by now. As for chasing Black Guillemots in New York, well, the first one that I could have legitimately chased turned up in December of 2009 out east on Long Island.

'Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, which comprises the twin volcanoes Gede and Pangrango (with gunung meaning “mountain”), surely must rate as one of the birding highlights of Southeast Asia, and is arguably the most important and well-known birding site on the island of Java. Once you manage to spell it correctly – which may take some time if my own Google experiences are any indication – you will find plenty of information online about the birds and the birding with

'Now that we’re in the final stretch of 2013, expect the usual litany of “Year in Review” commentary. While hearing the opinions others harbor about the pop culture and politics of the passing year can help us crystallize whatever thoughts we have on those matters, nobody can review those aspects of our years that are truly personal.

'The Little Bronze-Cuckoo , Chalcites minutillus or Chrysococcyx minutillus depending on your field guide is one of those birds that you will hear a lot more often than you will see. It is the smallest cuckoo in Australia and is found across the north and eastern Australia. Each cuckoo in Australia has a distinct call and once you listen to how many notes there are and whether it is ascending or descending you will have a grasp on which one you are hearing.
