An Open Letter to Outdoor/Feral Cat Supporters

10,000 Birds

Dear Outdoor Cat Owners/Feral Cat Supporters, Does the photo above sicken you? It sickens me. I have been rescuing animals, both wild and domestic, since I was a child. I’ve rescued field mice to horses, and everything in between. I’m allergic to cats, but in my lifetime I’ve rescued five of them. The last one, who took up residence under my house on a frigid January afternoon, is now a friend’s happy, healthy indoor cat.

Birding By Impression: A Book Review

10,000 Birds

There is GISS and there is Birding by Impression and they are not the same. GISS—general impression, size, shape—is intuitive, the result of an unconscious cognitive process derived from experience in the field. Birding by Impression is a conscious, deliberate method of identifying and recognizing birds based on the study and evaluation of “distinctive structural features and behavioral movements” and comparison with nearby and similar species.

Ecotone Birding around Guacalillo, Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

Birding opens numerous portals to knowledge. For example, if we had never been bitten by the birding bug, why on Earth would any of us try to figure out how to use our phones to take pictures through a telescope? Why would we bother learning about molt patterns? And why would we become amateur metreologists to predict where and when migrants birds would appear?

Western Bluebirds Are Back

10,000 Birds

From the 1913 USDA Farmers Bulletin #513, Fifty Common Birds of Farm and Orchard: “The bluebird is one of the most familiar tenants of the farm and dooryard. Its favorite nesting sites are crannies in the farm buildings or boxes made for its use or natural cavities in old apple trees. For rent the bird pays amply by destroying insects, and takes no toll from the farms crop.

The Cormorants of New Croton Dam

10,000 Birds

The reservoir is huge. As we stood atop New Croton Dam, the calm water stretched endlessly in front of us, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds above. Only permitted rowboats are allowed in the reservoir’s waters, and Saturday afternoon nothing stirred to break the surface. That’s what we thought anyway, until the shiny heads of half-a-dozen Double-crested Cormorants emerged from the depths.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of May 2015)

10,000 Birds

I don’t know how the first weekend of May feels to those of you on the southern side of the equator, but round these parts, it felt like SPRING! Now all we need are a bevy of brightly colored songbirds… I made it up to the Braddock Bay hawkwatch platform at a time when the winds were not right for raptor migration. No worries though, since I spied a resident Northern Harrier working the reeds for prey.

Peru Takes the Global Big Day by the Horns

10,000 Birds

The first Global Big Day will take place this coming May 9, 2015. The event is spearheaded by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and has as goal to raise money for bird conservation and to tally 4000 of the world’s birds in a single day. The idea is to go birding wherever you are, for any length of time, on May 9 and enter your lists in eBird. The idea has become wildly popular and has generated some side competition.

Where Are You Birding This Second Weekend of May 2015?

10,000 Birds

In the United States and other countries where people love their mothers, we devote the second Sunday in May to celebrating the women that birthed us, raised us, or just plain mothered us. The second Sunday in May is also an awesome time in most places to spot migratory birds. How many of you are planning to combine two acts of love by taking mom (or your kids) out for a Mother’s Day bird walk (or maybe even a Mother’s Big Day ?).
