'Migration Shift Cause Better Understood. Birds have been migrating earlier. The mechanism by which this is happening in at least some species of birds is very interesting. If you know a lot about birds, this might be entirely expected. I’d love to know if you think this is surprising. First, climate change is the ultimate cause. The breeding season is longer, starts earlier.

'Panoramic view of Alto Nieva Reserve. Woah! They got it on a feeder!!! That was my reaction when I saw a photo of a male Royal Sunangel on a bird feeder. This is really rewarding news for Carlos Calle and Ciro Joel Alegria, who started “Fundo Alto Nieva”, a small reserve in the core of Abra Patricia; one of loveliest parts of the Peruvian Andes. Abra Patricia is one of Birdlife International’s Important Bird Areas for many reasons.

'If this Red-tailed Hawk was wearing a T-shirt, it might say, “I’d rather be hunting nuisance birds.” Garrulous gulls and stealing starlings, beware: the falcons are coming. (No, not those Falcons from Atlanta. They’re pretty harmless this year.). To rid themselves of birds that are often perceived as nuisances, some landfills, vineyards, and other operations have begun to turn to raptors.

'Kathi Borgmann and Josh Beck are living the dream of many a North American birder. They packed up in June of 2013 and headed south from San Diego with the southern tip of South America as their destination. Like so many trips this one is more about the journey than the destination which brings us to why they have a guest post (hopefully the first of several) on 10,000 Birds.

'Another weekend, another opportunity to add to your knowledge and enjoyment of the natural world around you. How did that work out for you this weekend? A Carolina Wren hopped cheerfully around my front lawn this weekend, establishing that species’ half-hardy credentials. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend wasn’t one bird, or even one species, but the hordes of ducks he saw at Baisley Pond Park in Queens.

'South Island’s Westland District is perhaps New Zealand’s best kept secret, a staggeringly beautiful stretch of coastline jammed between the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea. Empty beaches, massive glaciers and ancient beech forests make a highly attractive landscape for anyone interested in the great outdoors, and the birds don’t hurt.

'The Black Swan- Cygnus atratus is the world’s only mostly black swan and is generally associated with lakes. They are extremely numerous in the south of the country and less common in the north. A good place to see them in Perth is Herdsman Lake or Lake Monger, which are both close to the city centre. They are in very small numbers around Broome, but this week we did encounter a large group of ten at an ephemeral lake about 70 kilometres/ 44 miles from town.

'Oh to be in Florida enjoying warm weather, exotic avifauna, and serene sunrises! Can you believe that we in the United States are on the cusp of the last normal weekend of 2013? By normal , of course, I mean a weekend uncomplicated by holiday, pre-holiday, or post-holiday celebration or preparation. Then again, by that definition, some of you may have enjoyed your last normal weekend long ago.
