10,000 Birds

I’m hardly the first person to observe that it’s all too easy to get overwhelmed by bad environmental news, and the title Endangered and Disappearing Birds of the Midwest sounds like a pretty major downer. Yet that is not the overall impression that I came away with while reading this solid and attractive new title from Indiana University Press.

No matter where you live, you probably endure extreme weather of some sort or another. But no matter what infernal heat, abyssal chill, or thunderous precipitation blasts a place, birds still endure and often thrive. The wicked cold in my area may have been too much for me, but my local birds seem to be doing just fine. I’ve been chasing a family of Trumpeter Swans from one patch of open water to the next.

Every place on this planet has both its charms and its drawbacks. Some areas are prone to tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfire, or flooding. Some are too congested, while others reside at the very fringes of civilization. And when you live, say, in the Caribbean, you can revel in every day’s warm weather and sunshine as long as your memory for hurricanes is short.

A new year begins and last year’s bird list gets archived. It’s a fresh start, a time when we can start counting once again to see how many birds we can find over the next 12 months. To surpass a challenging number of species, the planning, the conniving for major birding should have begun back in the past, in 2018. Forego strategies, do Big Year birding on the wing and you do a year list at your own peril.

The above photo of a Tufted Duck was not taken here in Australia, but in Europe by myself. However, there have been a lot of photos taken of the Tufted Duck that is currently in Australia. It is very disappointing that this Tufted Duck overshot the north of Australia and ended up at the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee, which is 30 kilometres/19 miles west of Melbourne.

A few days before Christmas, I vibrated in the passenger seat of my mother’s car as she turned towards Deering Oaks Park in Portland. The Great Black Hawk – a species with a native range in Mexico to South America – had been spotted in this park for weeks, but not every day. Though I had arrived in Maine nearly a week ago, something kept me from trying for the rare species so far from home.
