'Happy New Year, nature lovers! No matter how many phenomenal birds you spotted or how many glorious ecosystems you explored in 2014, your year list is now reset to zero (though most of you probably rectified that matter on New Year’s Day!) A pristine weekend lies before you like an untroubled field of freshly fallen snow. Make your mark and see some birds.

'Despite my fraught relationship with listing, there’s always been part of me that loves the idea of a Big Year. ( The nerdy part.) Of course, a person who doesn’t drive, ping-pongs between two states, and has finals in April and new classes every September is not ideally situated to do any kind of Big Year at all. A marginally-employed NYC freelancer, on the other hand… couldn’t do a conventional Big Year, or even a state Big Year, but a NYC Big Year would be more within

'Many readers of 10,000 Birds are more than the casual birdwatcher…they are hopeless bird junkies. Truly depraved birding addicts. It may not take long for a birder to reach this sad and despicable state…it can take someone 5 months just as easily as it can take someone 5 years. The question for the addict is, how does one keep birding fresh?

'The Woodpeckers are one of the more popular of the avian families. What’s not to like about woodpeckers? They laugh, they bang their heads against dead trees, poles, and even houses, and they don’t think twice about visiting feeders. Those woodpeckers are some smart-looking birds, and Costa Rica has her fair share with 16 species that head-bang from the dry forests of the northwest to the high-elevation rainforests of the mountains.

'Talk about ambitious! Noah Strycker, author of The Thing with Feathers and Among Penguins , will be doing a world-wide Big Year in 2015. Rather than the frantic travel of a “normal” Big Year this one will feature one continuous trip covering lots of turf with a particular focus on the tropics because that is where the birds are. Noah announced this ambitious project back in October, saying: It’s true!

'Hmmm … maybe there’s a reason why Zebra Finches seem to flock to Clare M.’s fountain. In this world-weary age of ours, you may think you’ve heard it all. But you’ve never heard a drunk Zebra Finch try to sing. Unless you’re a scientist who studied just that very thing and recently reported your results in PLOS One. The findings of this research, as summarized by Discover Magazine : Zebra Finches are a good proxy for studying human speech.

'And that’s a wrap. The calendar year 2014 has just about run its course. It’s all over but the year bird counting, so take stock of any species you’ve added this weekend. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was New York State’s first Couch’s Kingbird in the incongruous location of the West Village in Manhattan. A more unlikely spot for the first record of a tyrant flycatcher could scarce be imagined but there it was, hawking insects and delighting birders and pa

'It has been a great 2014. I participated in another fantastic Birding Rally Challenge in Northern Peru. Birded the famous Manu Road and Manu National Park. Some of the Puffbirds of the year 2014. Along with Víctor Gamarra-Toledo, Diego García Olaechea, Renzo Piana, Juan Díaz, Jorge Tiravanti, Fernando Angulo Pratolongo, and Jaime J.

'Over the fifteen years that we have lived permanently in Broome we have never been north to our closest town, Derby, during December. Derby is approximately 225 kilometres from Broome and has had almost three times the rainfall that Broome has had so far this month and so we thought it would be interesting to go and investigate the various birding areas that we knew of from other visits during our dry months.

'“It is next to impossible to persuade people in India to donate money for injured raptors,” says Nadeem Shehzad, co-founder of Wildlife Rescue , a registered non-profit in the Chawri Bazar area of Old Delhi. “They are considered unlucky, so no one has a kind heart for them.”. But Nadeem and his brother, Mohammad Saud, have kind hearts, boundless energy, and ever-increasing medical skills, and have been almost single-handedly returning Delhi’s injured raptors to the sky for the past twelve years

'“Thus, I give up the binoculars!” – Captain Ahab’s last words (paraphrased). I have been relatively fortunate in my birding life in that I don’t have a single nemesis bird that has vexed me. Sure, I didn’t like it in 2007 when I was doing a (not very) big year in New York and Black-backed Woodpecker would not cooperate for me.

'The Northern Flicker ( Colaptes auratus ) is the third largest woodpecker in North America if you count the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. It is smaller than the Pileated Woodpecker. This is a male red-shafted Northern Flicker I spotted at Lema Ranch a few years ago. You can see that the male of the species has a bright red mustache not present on the female.

'On Christmas, Gabriel Willow, a New York City birder and Naturalist Editor for New York City Audubon, posted a picture of a kingbird on the New York Birders Facebook page that had been sent to him by a resident of the West Village in Manhattan, Zack Winestine. The bird was obviously one of the “yellow” kingbirds, but which was it? The discussion quickly led to either Couch’s Kingbird or Tropical Kingbird , both of which would be first state records.
