Leaves and birds in the Appalachian Mountains. From now through the first week of November (2018) autumn leaves are peaking along the ridges and valleys of the Appalachians. This time of year is doubly good if you’re also a birder! Here is a list of my favorite mountain state parks to visit during the first brisk days of fall (and into the winter). North Bend State Park, West Virginia.

The final days of October are naturally spooky, at least in the north. It gets darker earlier day by day. The Maples and Oaks are in a rush to drop their remaining leaves and “shut down” for several months. Increasingly cold winds play with the crumpled dead foliage and if we stop and listen carefully, the lurking, unfriendly breeze whispers, warns, “winter…” It’s a valid warning, much colder and darker days are coming and Halloween sits on the threshold of th

Nothing much tops birding in autumn. The days are crisp and cool. There are more birds in autumn than at any other time of year. Sparrows predominate but there are a host of other species to find and identify. If it’s a good finch year like this year is there is the ever present knowledge that something awesome, like a crossbill or a grosbeak, might cross your field of view.

A lot of thrill seekers immerse themselves in mock terror the weekend before Halloween. If you want to hear something really scary, consider this: we only have two more months of 2018! Between work and rain, I saw nothing but mundane birds this weekend, and not even in good light. Mourning Dove was about as good as it got, so make of that what you will.

Welcome to the first weekend of November. If you identify as a birdwatcher, birder, or general nature buff, you’ve earned another weekend to get out there and chase birds during a beautiful time of year. If you don’t consider yourself a birder or nature lover, my first question is simply, “When are you going to start?” Next, I have to ask, “Why are you reading this blog?

Hallowe’en was two days ago, but today is All Souls’ Day and the Day of the Dead, so let’s continue the Hallowtide celebration for one more day with a spooky beer. You Never Even Call Me By My Name by Trinity Brewing Company (whose Le Capitaine Saison we featured last year) is the new name for a saison-style ale the brewery used to call Merle – or Merle, Saison Nocturnum, to give its full name.

In recent weeks Little Curlews Numenius minutus have returned to Broome from their migration to the northern hemisphere. We used to encounter them regularly on the sports’ fields years ago, but now we encounter them out of town more often than in town. Little Curlews stand out very well when they are on lush green lawns as with the encounter with one at a park only metres from home in 2012 , but when they are in the natural bush they soon disappear into the landscape and could easily be o
