How I Saw My First Jabiru

10,000 Birds

While in Belize for my family vacation one of the birds I most wanted to see was a Jabiru. The massive, shoe-billed stork is an amazing bird to see even in the pages of a field guide; to see one in the field, for real, would be unbelievably awesome. My best chance to see one would be during the three days we planned to spend in Hopkins, on the Caribbean coast of Belize.

Where are the Bobolinks?

10,000 Birds

On my latest trip home my mom and I spent a bit of time talking about Bald Eagles. I’d seen quite a few along the Hudson River on my way home – three adults and eight brown-headed subadults between Poughkeepsie and Albany. Mom, who grew up in Cold Spring, was impressed as always by the tally – when she moved away in 1972 eagles were unheard-of.

Where Are You Birding This Fourth Weekend of August 2017?

10,000 Birds

Remember those lazy days of summer, the doldrums during which you could catch up on family time, work, or less birdy hobbies? Don’t look now, but the season we are in is rapidly giving way to the next. The summer stall, if that ever really settled in where you live, is lifting. Time to get back to business… I’ll be kicking around Rochester this weekend, scanning for the shorebirds that seem to be popping up everywhere wet.

The Eyes Have It

The Osprey ( Pandion haliaetus ) pictured above were photographed while the nestlings were still in the nest. One of the nestlings decided to test its flight feathers during the photo shoot, to the dismay of its sibling. Did you notice that the nestlings have orange eyes… while the adult has yellow eyes.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of August 2017)

10,000 Birds

North America is aflame with eclipse fever right now, which provides yet another opportunity to wonder what life would be like if the average citizen felt a fraction as much passion for birding as is devoted to countless sports, media, celebrities, fashion, or even the rare astronomical phenomenon. Perhaps we should be glad that so many miss out on the pleasures of birding.The alacrity with which tens of thousands (or more) eclipse glasses sold out across the nation suggests that whiling away th

Aplomado Twitch in Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

In Costa Rica, we don’t get many chances to chase birds. While we could chase a number of local, rare residents, looking for super tough species like Pheasant Cuckoo and Tawny-faced Quail is more akin to searching and lurking in appropriate habitat and just hoping to get lucky. The same goes for other challenging resident birds like the Rufous-vented Ground-Cuckoo, Speckled Mourner, and Gray-headed Piprites.
