'How dramatic has this winter’s Snowy Owl irruption been? How about so dramatic that nine birds caught a ride on a freighter and some made it all the way across the Atlantic Ocean ? You can see pictures of them on this blog , which is in Dutch. At least two of the birds ended up in the Netherlands where they have been delighting birders from across Europe.

'I’m to the point that I wish all the Snowy Owls in the US this winter would head back north. Now. As Tracey Ullman said at the end of her show, “Go home! Go home now!” That winter birding lull that plagues listservs and online groups with arguments seems to have reached new levels this winter as people debate not only how close one should get to an owl, but if feeding them ok (cause someone started a website on how to feed snowy owls ) to a direction I didn’t expect whe

'Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Titusville, Florida, is an amazing destination to see a wide variety of wildlife including, of course, birds! And while I didn’t lead any field trips to the refuge this year during the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival I did visit the refuge on a couple of occasions. In addition to the usual stops at the visitor’s center (where it seems like every winter there are Painted Buntings coming to the feeders) and doing the wonderful auto

'So, we had a bit of excitement in my neighborhood yesterday, when a gunman robbed the Taco Bell a few blocks from my apartment and then disappeared on foot in the direction of campus. The area, including the University and several high schools, was put on lockdown and we were instructed to “shelter in place.” So what choice did I have but to watch my feeders all day?

'A nictitating membrane is a third eyelid that is translucent or clear. It is used as an extra level of safety for the eye and allows the creature that has it to still see while affording its eyes an additional amount of protection. Some birds, reptiles, and sharks have nictitating membranes as well as a few mammals. (Though many mammals have a vestigial nictitating membrane that does not cover the whole eye.

'My wife and I recently welcomed a second child into the world, so much of my birding has been of the theoretical nature of late. However, this past weekend I was able to get out for a couple hours to take in a phenomenon that birders in North Carolina have rarely seen of late. The Poler Vortex that has sunk much of the North American continent into the deep freeze has had an effect on us on the margins as well.

'I think most readers of 10,000 Birds will, at this point, remember my great disappointment in January of 2012 when I went on the Black Rail field trip at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival and neither heard nor saw a Black Rail. Now, in the grand scheme of things, me not being able to check Black Rail off of a checklist is really not important at all but, nonetheless, I was pretty bummed out about it.

'Those of you who follow such things should be pleased to learn that this weekend was quite auspicious for sports teams named for birds. Until now, only one National Football League team out of a total of five had ever won the Super Bowl. But at last the Seattle Seahawks, named for a bird we all know and love , have won the championship and further advanced the cause of avian inspiration for athletes!

'We are well and truly in our “Wet Season” now and hardly a day goes by when we don’t have a storm appear out of nowhere. It is challenging when you rely on a bicycle for transport for most of the week, but I have learnt to read the sky over the years and storms are isolated and often further away than you think. I have been caught out, but it is only water and it is not cold!

'The sight of three birds being chased by a Southern Masked Weaver in Pilanesberg National Park recently, had me stumped and caused me to extend my breakfast while I searched through the field guide in an attempt to identify them. A commotion in some acacia bushes had first drawn my attention to the excitement. Clear whistles and a bubbling laughter came from the thorn trees followed by four birds exploding from the cover and flashing across the road.

'Half past six, barely one degree Celsius, but the snow is melting fast. East, down the Danube we go, to the Labudovo Okno Ramsar site (Serbian for “swan lake”). Near the sand dunes, the first “V” made out of a hundred or so Greater White-fronted Geese , They spend the night on the water and in the morning they spread over arable fields to forage; but most of them do so at the crack of dawn and these 100 must have overslept.

When I was little we used to make our own “mailboxes” so our classmates could put cards in them when February 14th arrived.
