Can Birds Be Safe? If Only.

10,000 Birds

'Another product has been invented that could cut down on the number of wild birds killed by domestic cats. Created by Nancy Brennan, Birdsbesafe looks like a stiff, brightly-colored Elizabethan collar – not the long plastic post-surgical cones that pets occasionally have to wear, but a small donut that fits around the cat’s neck without getting in the way.

Volcanic Birding on Irazu, Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

'Irazu is the name of a volcano in Costa Rica. It’s sort of stuck between San Jose and Cartago and since it’s a volcano, it doesn’t stop at dominating the skyline. In fitting with proper volcanic decorum, it must loom or lord over a nearby populace with either a hint or a fistful of menace. Fortunately, for the moment, Irazu’s menace is diminished to a very welcoming hint.

Pine Warbler in Forest Park, Queens, New York

10,000 Birds

'Sometimes you get incredibly lucky and get a wood-warbler that feeds at your feet. Today was one of those days. A couple of Pine Warblers were being incredibly cooperative at Forest Park, the sun was shining, and I had my digiscoping rig with me. Numerous times the birds came so close that I could not focus. I actually decoupled my scope from the tripod and lied down on the ground and got some shots that way.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of April 2015)

10,000 Birds

'Signs of spring are evident everywhere winter once held sway. Actually, signs that winter won’t release its icy grip so readily are also apparent… my traditional Easter family hike was canceled on account of snow.

Our travels this weekend took us on the New York State Thruway, which passes through Montezuma NWR.

Yellow-billed Kites in South Africa

10,000 Birds

'Last weekend I finally caved and bought a new laptop to replace the one that swan-dived off my bed last November. My desktop simply can’t cope with the number and size of images that modern digital cameras produce, and this meant that I was finally able to start sorting through my many photos I took on my trip.

10,000 Birds

'In February of 2013, I wrote a piece outlining my thoughts on which exotic bird species should be added to the American Bird Association (ABA) checklist. My number one choice at the time was Egyptian Goose ( Alopochen aegyptiacus ), an adaptable sheldgoose from Africa that was rapidly becoming established in peninsular Florida. In 2014, the Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee (FOSRC) voted to add this species to the Florida state list.

Penguins: The Ultimate Guide — A Review by a Penguin Groupie

10,000 Birds

'Last month woodpeckers, this month penguins. Some are cute, some are dignified (and royal!). None fly, most are curious and social, which probably contributes to our cultural perception of penguins as one step away from human. They are software mascots, cartoon characters, animated film dancers, children’s book heroes, zoo celebrities, and documentary film stars.
