A Tribute to a Wildlife Lover’s Support Team

10,000 Birds

It’s a rough world for wildlife. It’s a rough world for people who appreciate them, rougher still for those who spend time and money trying to protect them, roughest of all for those who take in the injured and orphaned and try to save them. Part of a wildlife rehabilitator’s job description should be a willingness to have your heart smashed to bits over and over again.

What’s in a Name: Limpkin

10,000 Birds

A friend was in Florida, and as people in Florida are wont to do, he taunted me with pictures of some good birds that I am not currently looking at. In this case, it was especially cruel because he posted a Limpkin , a bird I have never looked at. Another commenter asked the obvious, yet seldom-addressed, question: “Man, what do you have to do to an ornithologist to get called “limpkin”?

Cassin’s Finch at Lassen Volcanic National Park

10,000 Birds

As I mentioned in my last post , Lassen Volcanic National Park is a great birding destination. You can see some of my older Lassen Park posts featuring several other species from this beautiful park here. This week I am reporting on the Cassin’s Finch ( Haemorhous cassinii ), another western species found nesting in Lassen Volcanic National Park.

Avian Oddities from Two Days of Birding in Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

One of the many things about birding that keeps us heading back into “the field” is the opportunity for the unexpected. No matter how much we think we know, there is always more to learn at the local patch, and tomorrow could always be that special day when some globe-trotting bird appears in your field of view. The chance for the unexpected is expected in places where complex ecosystems stew up a storm of biodiversity and innumerable interactions.

The Many Terns of Gulf Islands National Seashore

10,000 Birds

I love terns. I find them graceful, entertaining, and a symbol of some truly incredible migrations. Plus, there was once a time when I couldn’t tell a tern from a gull, let alone differentiate between species. My relative identification ease now makes me feel good about myself as a birder, and since the terns are causing my inner birder glow it’s no surprise that they are my favorite.

The little-known effect of the Egyptian Goose on the work load of the Florida Records Committee

10,000 Birds

“ Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof ” Carl Sagan. The ABA checklist committee has recently added the Egyptian Goose to the official ABA checklist, based on an established population in southeastern Florida. The reactions of the birding scene to this addition have been rather varied. Some rejoice at this news since it provides them with an additional tick.

Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of August 2015?

10,000 Birds

As August goes, so go the summer doldrums (or winter lull, depending on your half of the world.) Not everyone experiences a dip in bird activity during the nonmigratory months, but those of us who do are ready to see some new birds NOW! Unfortunately for me, work will keep me indoors this weekend. If I’m lucky, something special will fly over my harried head.

Campbell Park, Canberra

10,000 Birds

A few weeks ago I unexpectedly found myself in Canberra for a few days. Australia’s capital, set in the eucalypt-studded Great Dividing Ranges, has not got a fantastic reputation as an exciting place to be, but in truth its an attractive garden city with a lot of green spaces, parks, and other pleasant paces that make it a nice place to live. My trip wasn’t touristy but I was able to sneak off late one afternoon and early one morning to do a bit of woodland birding at a location call

An Educational Mixed Flock

10,000 Birds

I was upstate again this past weekend, collecting Desi from his week with his grandparents, and took a couple of hours early Sunday morning to visit my favorite Saugerties birding spot, the Great Vly. As is to be expected in late August there were many young birds around getting the hang of living life on their own. Green Herons , Eastern Kingbirds , Tree Swallows , Cedar Waxwings , and a host of other species were successful in breeding and there were a lot of birds around.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of August 2015)

10,000 Birds

That breeze wafting through your weekend may have been blessedly cool or tantalizingly hot, but, meteorological considerations aside, the winds of change are blowing. Keep your bins handy! Some changes are less than welcome. For example, not a single Caspian Tern showed up while I was hanging around the shore of Lake Ontario. So, I had to make do with much larger numbers than usual of Double-crested Cormorants moving westward.
