Can Nature Take Care of Itself?

10,000 Birds

This blog was written by Marge Gibson, co-founder of Raptor Education Group, Inc. in Antigo, WI: Most of us have our own idea what the phrase “nature takes care of itself” means. My father, a lifelong conservationist, spoke those words with reverence when describing the natural world. We are an integral part of that world, and a connection with it carries responsibility.

The “Turkeys” of Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

Thanksgiving was celebrated a couple of days ago across the USA. In other words, millions of people got together with family and friends for a cozy day of mashed potatoes, gravy, apple pie, naps, football, and some serious turkeyliciousness. That last little bit is also why we call it “Turkey Day”! In Costa Rica, although I did spend a memorable one years ago in the Osa Peninsula where flocks of parrots flew into the mangroves while we feasted on turkey, pie, and the works, we have n

The Nemesis Cat Defeated!

10,000 Birds

If I were to describe my long time wildlife nemesis, my ultimate dip of dips, I would reach for a nemesis cat, not a nemesis bird. For there is no species that I had more comprehensively failed to see than the Leopard. I had, after all, been to 13 countries that were home to leopards, over the course of 14 years, of which in all but one I had been in habitat suitable for this most adaptable of big cats.

What’s in a Name: Readers Respond

10,000 Birds

Some updates from the comments sections! On the Limpkin , the ever-sagicious Rick Wright points out that the ‘gait’ explanation may well be a folk etymology: “I’ve been wondering about this word for a long, long time. The standard etymology limp + -kin doesn’t make much sense to me: by the time this word is attested, -kin wasn’t a productive suffix in English any more, and the bird limps no more than any other long-legged wader.” Further investigation is required!

What is the State Bird of New Mexico?

10,000 Birds

I saw my first real Greater Roadrunner on a cold winter day in the Southwest. Walking along a dirt track next to a prairie, my friend and I were on the look-out for different sparrow species when a large bird suddenly darted into the clearing. It was large, almost two feet long with a tan look that matched the meadow grasses. After only a moment of sizing us up, it dashed back into cover, leaving only dust in its wake.

Temminck’s Stint in Australia

10,000 Birds

Since we returned from Melbourne in May we have spent a lot of time in remote parts of northern Australia enjoying the bird-life. In recent weeks we have pondered over the fact that it is almost twenty years since we had a “first for Australia” and that was a Blue and White Flycatcher on 5th December 1995. We have seen some amazing birds on our travels and every trip is special regardless of what you come across.

Where Are You Birding This First Weekend of December 2015?

10,000 Birds

It’s beginning to look a lot like… winter birding season in the Northern Hemisphere. Some other seasonal stuff may be coming up too, but who’s really paying attention? I’ll be checking the idyllic shores of Lake Ontario (pictured above) for seaducks and the like. Corey will be working NYC for everything it can offer. How about you?

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of November 2015)

10,000 Birds

Black Friday seems to have run all weekend long, merging seamlessly into Cyber Monday to ensure that the shopping never stops. But many wise souls understand that much of what we need, rather than merely want, can’t be found in a store. Hopefully you found what you needed outdoors this weekend. I enjoyed some late autumn hiking, but saw nothing out of the ordinary; among the common birds in my area, the Pileated Woodpecker always stands out as something special.

Halls Creek is situated inland on the Great Northern Highway, which is the only bitumen road around the north of Australia. It has a small population of approximately 1100 people and is a major hub for the local indigenous people and for the cattle industry. It is also a popular stopover place for tourists, especially during the cooler months from June to September.

The Most Birds

10,000 Birds

A recent comment thread on Facebook about absurdly high counts of some species in the eBird database got me curious. Who has seen the most Green Herons at one time? Painted Buntings ? Gyrfalcons ? What is the most of any one species that has ever been reported at one time? And how reliable is this data? Once you start down such a rabbit-hole it is difficult to stop the plunge into full on data-nerd mode.

It’s December and that means one thing—a great excuse to buy books on birding.
