Stamping the First Robin of Spring

10,000 Birds

'Now that winter’s fury is melting beneath more moderate temperatures here in the northeastern United States my thoughts have turned to spring. It won’t be long until the first Eastern Phoebe returns, an American Woodcock has already been found in Central Park, and Red-winged Blackbirds have been vigorously calling “Honk-a-ree” for over a week.

A Hummingbird Quest in Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

'Last weekend, I went on a quest. The adventure was sort of like a search for treasure, except that the jewels were feisty, feathered sprites. Yes, the time had come to see how many of Costa Rica’s hummingbird species we could find, and we had two days to work with. This oh so awesome endeavor was apparently somewhat inspired by a blog post I had written that toyed with the idea of doing a hummingbird big day in Costa Rica.

A Close Encounter with a Red-necked Grebe

10,000 Birds

'The first weekend of March had me upstate which means that I didn’t get to see the Red-necked Grebe that Doug Futuyma found at Baisley Pond Park. Though Red-necked Grebes are around in small numbers each winter in New York City and Long Island they generally aren’t a terribly cooperative bird: even last winter when large numbers came south because they were frozen out up north the best looks I managed were of relatively distant birds.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of March 2015)

10,000 Birds

'Those of you who have never experienced a clock change in Daylight Savings Time are really missing an opportunity to complain about the time the way most of us gripe about the weather. Since some of us are early risers and others night owls, we don’t all agree on the best hours of the day. But we can all rally around the pain of losing an hour of sleep as we spring forth.

Fishing at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge

10,000 Birds

'Fishing is not one of the recreational activities allowed at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge but apparently no one has passed that information on to the local bird population. Click on photos for full sized images. This Snowy Egret ( Egretta thula ) is often found on the six mile auto tour route at the bottom of a dam where water flows into the adjacent irrigation canal.

Weasel-Pecker

10,000 Birds

'I don’t mean to beat a dead horse here. At first I thought the now famous photo of a Least Weasel riding a Green Woodpecker was fake. I could not image a medium size woodpecker carrying a weasel. Besides, a closer look at the photo shows the weasel “sitting” on the woodpecker’s back not “clinging” to it as one would expect the weasel to be on a flying-moving bird.

Penguins on the Beach

10,000 Birds

'Well, I’m finally back from Africa. In fact, I’ve been back a week and a half… and I’m still trying to readjust to normal life, and work out how I can go back sooner rather than later. Oh, and I need to sort out about 4000 photos and add 250 year birds to 2014 and 400 to 2015… So , yeah, I’m kind of in a state. So I’m afraid retrospective posts on my overall trip will have to wait till I can organise my thoughts, although safe to say if you like birds y

Birding Westgate Park

10,000 Birds

'After birding Port Melbourne Beach I continued on along the coast to Sandridge Beach, which did not offer the number of Pacific Gulls or Silver Gulls that had been present earlier. I then took the trail beside Todd Road to get to Westgate Park. There were several detours in place due to road construction, but it did lead me straight into Westgate Park.
