Things I Learned While Birding at Laguna del Lagarto, Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

Last weekend, I guided a trip to Laguna del Lagarto for the Birding Club of Costa Rica. Since all sorts of rare species are possible at this remote lowland rainforest site, I was looking forward to this trip for a while. It would give me yet another chance at lifering that royal pain known as a Tawny-faced Quail , the rare and beautiful Green and Rufous Kingfisher , and who knows what else.

The true “Mediterranean” Gull

10,000 Birds

It has come to my attention that this blog needs more gulls. Of course this is self-evident as you can never have enough gulls on a bird blog, but this blog here is in an especially dire need of more gull posts for the simple reason that I have a few nice pictures of gulls that would make for a few nice posts. I am planning to have this post be the first in a (very) small series on Europe’s “large white-headed gulls” It will of course only be a small series since there arenR

Vermilion Flycatcher in Colusa County California

10,000 Birds

The Vermilion Flycatcher ( Pyrocephalus rubinus ) is usually found near the US – Mexican border but we were fortunate this year to find an adult male in northern California! Click on photos for full sized images. I had reserved the photo blind at Colusa National Wildlife Refuge last weekend and figured I would stop by the Maxwell Cemetery on the way back home to try to find the male Vermilion Flycatcher that had been hanging out there for more than the past week, hoping he was still there

A lone Black-tailed Native-hen

10,000 Birds

Sometimes birds just don’t do what you expect! Black-tailed Native-hens are an irruptive species that can show up anywhere, but generally when they do show up there are large numbers of them. You would expect to see them at the ephemeral lakes around Broome some years, but not every year and they are more common in the south of Australia. It came as quite a surprise on January 11th when we pulled up at the Sport’s grounds near the Broome Airport to look at the Eastern Yellow Wagtails

Hilbre, the Sometimes Island

10,000 Birds

One of my favourite walks when I visit my parents in England is the walk out to Hilbre in the Dee Estuary. The island is something of a sometimes island, a collection of rocks with a smattering of houses that is sometimes an island among the sandy expanses of the silted up estuary and sometimes actually an island in the Irish Sea. It sits on the edge of the Wirrall, a peninsula bounded by the Dee Estuary on the south and the Mersey Estuary to the north (of Liverpool fame).

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of February 2016)

10,000 Birds

Another Superb Owl Sunday has come and gone. Did you see any superb owls? I got my owl fix last weekend but spent the bulk of the week chasing a rare pair of Greater White-fronted Geese around Monroe County. Fortunately, I finally tracked them down yesterday, hiding out amidst teeming masses of Canada Geese. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend isn’t a rarity or a particularly difficult bird to see.

If Birds Were Beers

10,000 Birds

Normally I’m not much of a beer drinker, although I can become one after I’ve spent three hours hiking seven and a half miles up and down a mountain. My friend Ardal, a beer connoisseur, took advantage of this last weekend, which was how I ended up sitting in The Dutchess Biercafe two hours before the Super Bowl. “It’s called a beer flight ?” I said, in astonishment.

Where Are You Birding This Second Weekend of February 2016?

10,000 Birds

The 14th day of February marks a moment when we dare not acknowledge the love we should harbor every other day of the year. Forewarned, as they say, is forearmed, so don’t forget to let your Valentine know how much you care. Those birds that you love, on the other hand, don’t need chocolates or roses… just get out there and spend quality time with them!

Painted Redstart at Irvine Lake

10,000 Birds

Back in December I was in Orange County, California, enjoying the holidays with my in-laws. I have been relatively negligent about having blogged about the birding I did while I was there so I thought I would try to rectify my lackadaisical attitude with a quick post about a quick twitch for a rather stunning bird. In 2012 I got my 500th bird in the ABA area when I twitched a Painted Redstart at Lacy Park in San Marino, California.
