Parks and Public Lands Win at the Polls

10,000 Birds

Voters across the country support environmentally conscious ballot initiatives. Voters in several states had the opportunity to express their support (or condemnation) of various environmental (or anti-environmental) issues respectively in the recent election cycle. Results from November 2018 ballots indicate a large and dedicated block of voters who are concerned about the health of ecosystems, as well as the preservation of complex wilderness areas.

In Costa Rica, Fall is our Spring

10,000 Birds

It’s warm as always in Costa Rica but I know there’s a change of seasons up north. I know because I see what the calendar says and I used to live it. The many leaves dropped and curled and being carried through quiet streets by creeping cold winds. Warblers, grosbeaks and the faery phrases of the Wood Thrush long gone. But there’s still birds, others from colder habitats further north, thousands of goldeneyes, scoters and other ducks flying fast, back to the Great Lakes, sparro

A Brant With Bling

10,000 Birds

Yesterday morning I was out and about on the coast of Queens looking for migrating birds. At Jacob Riis Park I stopped to scan a large flock of Brant because you never know what might end up mixed in to a large flock of anything. And while I didn’t find anything rare hiding amid the hordes of Branta bernicla I did manage to find one that was banded and color tagged.

Little Big Year-Week 39: The southern coast in Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

Our second week here in Costa Rica has certainly seen a great increase in the amount of rain. After leaving the Cano Negro area, we arrive at our next stop, Bijagua. We have a room in a great location, very near to the Helconia Rainforest Sky-bridges. We have got one full day here, much like most of our trip has been planned. We will be here for two nights, with the day of our first night being mostly used up with travel from our last location.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of November 2018)

10,000 Birds

November may not exhibit the gaudy charms of some of our more festive (not to mention warmer) months in the Northern Hemisphere, but these days possess their own charms. For example, we’re entering that season where you have to decide if you’d rather be birding or be warm. Who won that battle this weekend? I was all set to stay home, but a crisp and bright Sunday morning called me to the lake, where I picked up my annual Brant.

10,000 Birds goes eBirding

10,000 Birds

Since 2016, writers at 10,000 Birds have been contributing checklists to a joint eBird account called the “10,000 Birds Collaborative.” Every month, Redgannet summarizes the checklists, providing an updated life list, year list, and country list. For the United States, there is also a state list. Note that the collaborative list only includes checklists during the writer’s tenure as a contributor, so checklists before or after that time do not count.

“A Flanders Brown Thanksgiving” – Casa Agria Specialty Ales: Zarza Marrón

10,000 Birds

I find the American celebration of Thanksgiving an awkward holiday for birders. There’s no other day on the calendar more associated with birds, but the Wild Turkey – the undisputed star of the day – owes this dubious honor to being slaughtered, cooked, and served as the culinary centerpiece for this annual holiday feast. As birders, our entire pastime is about the enjoyment in seeing and hearing as many living birds as we can, while Thanksgiving – well, to be perfectly blunt – is for many a hol
