Get Thee To A Wildlife Rehabilitator

10,000 Birds

'Why does this little Screech Owl look so horrified? It’s not because of the color of the carpet, although I was probably wearing the same expression when I first saw it. It’s because she’s in a house, she’s scared to death, and she wants her mother. If that’s not possible, she needs the knowledgeable care of a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

It’s On: The Rusty Blackbird Migration Blitz!

10,000 Birds

'As if U.S. and Canadian birders needed another reason to pull ourselves out of the winter doldrums, how about birding for a good cause? Specifically, the plight of the Rusty Blackbird , which has experienced the sharpest rate of decline among North American landbirds, according to the International Rusty Blackbird Working Group (IRBWG), and has a conservation status of Vulnerable.

A Leucistic Bald Eagle Makes Its Appearance at the Winter Wings Festival

10,000 Birds

'The Winter Wings Festival in Klamath Falls Oregon was awesome! Not only did I get to meet Sharon Stiteler, aka Birdchick , I also was able to chat with Bill Thompson III of Birdwatcher’s Digest fame who, by the way, gave a most interesting and entertaining keynote presentation on the “Perils and Pitfalls of Birding.” Even though the weather at the event didn’t always cooperate, a good time was had by all, especially the photographers in the crowd.

Birding Argentina – Salto Encantado and Yaguarundy Reserve

10,000 Birds

'Continued from. Birding Chaco at JV Gonzales. Our original plan was to fly from Salta to Buenos Aires and then to rent a car for 7 days birding from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls, and then to fly back to Buenos Aires. This plan was scratched when we arrived at Buenos Aires and were told by the rental car company that our car reservation was cancelled since the car return trip (driven by them) was too risky!

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of February 2014)

10,000 Birds

'As much as I love hearing about and sharing Best Birds of the Weekend, sometimes I have cause to ponder just what that term means. Obviously, the birds themselves are not jockeying for recognition. Rather, we designate best birds according to our priorities and perceptions of value. The Feral Pigeon has many virtues to admire, but who is going to brag about encountering one of those?

Our Ambassador

10,000 Birds

'Much like the Bridled Tern is adrift in the Gulf Stream, I feel alone in my outrageous birding abilities. Being the world’s leading birder isn’t as easy as it sounds. Well, yes, finding and identifying birds is really, really easy, but there are other aspects that are troublesome. For one, both birders and the general public alike view me as some kind of ambassador of all birders…a natural thing to do I suppose, but I don’t think that’s accurate.

Ravishing Redheads at the World’s Fair Marina

10,000 Birds

'It was a warm and sunny day on Sunday and I took full advantage of what little time I had in the morning for birding. My first stop was the World’s Fair Marina because I figured that the abundant sunlight would provide some good photographic opportunities if the birds would only cooperate. Most of the ducks, including the usually more confiding Canvasbacks , were quite distant, but several Redhead had no problem cooperating for me and my digiscoping rig.

Racing to Save 2 Samoan Endemics

10,000 Birds

'It’s always tragic when a species goes extinct. But that tragedy is compounded when the species at risk is a country’s national bird. (Americans of a certain age will recall how close their country came to losing the Bald Eagle.). Sadly, that is indeed the situation in Samoa, where the Manumea , or Tooth-billed Pigeon , numbers fewer than 200 individuals.

Restore the West Pond!

'Those of you who visit this blog on more than the rare occasion are probably aware that I live in Queens and love living and birding here. You are also probably aware that Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, one of the best urban birding sites in the world, is on my regular list of spots that I like to stop by and visit. After all, a world-class birding destination fifteen minutes from my house is pretty much irresistible.

Birding a flooded highway

10,000 Birds

'The day before we headed south to Perth to circumnavigate Herdsman Lake and see the amazing bird-life there we did a short drive out of town at home in Broome. There had been a lot of rain in recent weeks and the highway south and north was flooded. The road north was closed beyond a certain distance, but the road south remained open and always offers excellent birding opportunities when this happens.

Birds at Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area

10,000 Birds

'For birders visiting Florida there are several different types of habitat that must be visited. One of those habitats is the pine flatwoods which is dominated by Longleaf Pine with a shrubby understory that consists of several plants well adapted to the sandy, acidic soil, most memorably, Saw Palmetto. It is in this habitat that birders seek out goodies like Red-cockaded Woodpecker and Bachmann’s Sparrow.

Winter Mission

'The Five Valleys Audubon Society is one of the most congenial groups of birders I have ever gone on a field trip with. Every time I go out with them, which is not nearly often enough, I end up with great sightings, often of surprising birds, in gorgeous landscapes. Last week’s trip to the Mission Valley was no exception. The meeting point was the parking lot of a gas station in Polson.
