The Eagle’s Rebirth. Yep. Seriously.

10,000 Birds

Okay, folks, today we will be discussing one of those internet pass-arounds which are meant to fill everyone with joy and inspiration, but which make wildlife rehabilitators look for the nearest wall against which to bang our heads. It’s a nice metaphor, but let’s just say it would not hold up in court. Here is the text, taken verbatim: The eagle has the longest lifespan among birds.

Black-winged Stilt and Red-necked Avocets abound

10,000 Birds

For regular readers of this website you may well think that you have seen that title before! Well, almost! Last time it was Banded Stilt and Red-necked Avocets abound and it was in quite a different environment! The weather itself was completely different and it was thousands of miles away to the south of Melbourne in Victoria. Now we are experiencing our cooler weather in Broome, with daytime temperatures still around 32c and so there is no need to carry a thermos flask like on the last occasi

South Polar Skuas on a New York Pelagic

10,000 Birds

Back on the last day of May I boarded a boat in Brooklyn and headed out onto the Atlantic Ocean in search of seabirds. It was a pelagic trip organized by See Life Paulagics and it was a pretty memorable trip with five species of shearwater, Leach’s Storm-Petrels , Wilson’s Storm-Petrels , a variety of dolphins, some sharks, and a variety of other sea life.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of June 2015)

10,000 Birds

Early June in these parts still holds the promise of late migrants but basically showcases the next couple of months of local trip lists. What does June birding look like where you live? I explored Lucien Morin Park for the first time this weekend. This gorgeous forest at the southern tip of Irondequoit Bay is positively filthy with Yellow Warblers and Eastern Pewees , but I was most pleased by a pair of House Wrens caring for a brood in their birdhouse.

Danum Valley: Simply the Best

10,000 Birds

Danum Valley is the finest birding location I have ever been to. … I typed the above sentence and then dared myself to defend it. It’s a strong sentence, and one I’ll struggle to justify with my poor grasp of English and reputation towards hyperbole. There are, certainly, places I’ve enjoyed more. And places I have seen more birds.

Mini-Pelagic Birding in Costa Rica at Puntarenas

10,000 Birds

“Costa Rica borders two oceans. The country has a healthy list of pelagic species. There are no pelagic trips” That ironic pseudo-haiku almost sums up pelagic birding in Costa Rica. Yes, you can strike a deal with fishing boats to take you out into deep water but there isn’t anything like the regularly scheduled trips that we get sick on in other parts of the world.

The early bird gets the …

10,000 Birds

… since this is a family website, I’m not sure I can finish that sentence. (Is “OPP” PG-13?) Suffice it to say, the answer in this case isn’t “worm.” Scientists studying Great T**s , of all birds, have shown that the earlier a male awakens , the more likely he is to successfully hook up with the mates of other males. In this study, the males who slept in weren’t slackers—the researchers manipulated their circadian rhythms with melatonin implants.

Wilson’s Plovers in Folly Beach, Charleston

10,000 Birds

Charleston is a beautiful place for a wedding, and at the end of May that’s just where I was headed to watch a good friend tie the knot. Since the wedding didn’t start until 6:30 p.m., I was left with most of the day to explore and look for birds. After a late gathering at our rented house the night before with the bride to be, I was the only one up and at ’em at 8 a.m., hardly early by birding standards but early enough to beat the crowds of beach goers to my destination: Foll

Enjoy your redpoll ticks while they last

10,000 Birds

All the world’s redpolls probably represent a single species, and redpolls probably look different in different places more because of environmental influences on how their genes are expressed than because of stable underlying differences in the genes themselves. Those are the headlines from a study by Nicholas Mason and Scott Taylor , released online in March and covered here on 10,000 Birds and elsewhere at the time. “There are no clear-cut genetic differences, which is what we wou

Then we looked for some common species.
