I’m writing this post for a couple of reasons. Firstly, if you check the wonderful photo galleries here at 10000 Birds, you will find some excellent shots of the female Mountain Bluebird that Corey took in New York, of all places! I figured that it is only fair and right to include the male Mountain Bluebird ( Sialis currucoides ) for comparison.

The Barn Swallow ( Hirundo rustica ) is one of the most widespread and popular birds. Most everyone with an eye for the natural world can recognize them and has a name for it, often a name used only at the regional level. Many literary references are based on the Barn Swallow’s migration as a symbol of a change in seasons. They are easy to notice and seem rather consistent regarding the time or arrival at the many regions and countries they fly through.

The most recent addition to my life list is the Northwestern Crow , but its name is boring and it probably isn’t even a proper species anyway. The second-most-recent addition to my life list, however, is the MacGillivray’s Warbler , which is a bird named after a dead white guy, yes, but it also illustrates several interesting things about the rough-and-tumble process of ornithological nomenclature, to whit: 1.

Was your weekend pleasingly full or pleasurably empty? We measure our happiness not in moments of activity but rather memories of satisfaction. I was well satisfied to travel through farm country this weekend and count the many American Kestrels perched predatorily above the fields. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a Bushy-crested Jay , one of quote a few fine species he spotted while exploring the area around Copan Ruinas in Honduras.

American poet, novelist, and playwright Paul Laurence Dunbar saw summer the way many of us do, reflected in the wild world around him. Does Summer in the South , written in 1903, speak to you? The oriole sings in the greening grove. As if he were half-way waiting, The rosebuds peep from their hoods of green, Timid, and hesitating. The rain comes down in a torrent sweep.

At the end of June we loaded up the car with no plan other than to head north and see what was about. This is a typical situation for us, where we make sure we are self-sufficient and pick a general direction, but are quite happy to deviate off any side-track at whim. A few days north of Broome, after a few side-tracks, we made a decision to head down the Tanami Road.

This post is from Lisa Beth Acton, a wildlife rehabilitator in Accord, NY. She has a captive-bred education bird named Xena, a Eurasian Eagle Owl. Lisa brings her to all kinds of gatherings to spread the word of wildlife (see Xena’s Facebook page ). This summer Lisa raised three orphaned Common Ravens. In her words: You all know how it goes, the phone rings and the caller says I have these baby birds….

After the birding bugs bites, the abundance of new and colorful birds makes it easy to overlook or even blatantly ignore sparrows, “seagulls”, female ducks, and flycatchers. Nevertheless, sooner or later, the need to twitch forces us to be honest with ourselves and admit that those confusing birds are also deserving of binocular time. Good field guides, fellow birders, and patience can help us come to grips with the ones that seem to look the same but even then, it’s hard to ge

It’s bad. Very bad. Germany is currently experiencing its hottest June and July ever, and temperatures in the last few weeks have rarely been below 33°C (91°F), sometimes reaching nearly 40°C (103°F). German offices and appartments, as a general rule, have no air conditioning – because we’ve never had the need for it – and there is therefore neither rest for the weary nor escape from the sweat.
