Part of the Labudovo okno Ramsar Wetland and protected within the Deliblato Sands Special Nature Reserve , this section of the Danube, downriver from Belgrade, Serbia, is unique for its wide shallows, before the river narrows downstream from the village of Ram.

I don’t have a proper post ready for you today, meaning there’s no customary Birds and Booze story and review for now. No, I haven’t lost track of the calendar — though that’s quickly becoming a more common experience in our new reality — but occasionally life gets in the way of blogging, which is what happened this week. Usually when this happens, I just don’t post anything at all, and I’m given a few demerits by Mike and Corey (just kidding).

Birding in the era of COVID-19 can be confusing. You may wonder about crucial details like “How far do I need to stand from other birders?” or “Is that House Sparrow going to give me coronavirus?” While I wouldn’t recommend getting all your medical advice from the American Birding Association, you can and should follow the ABA Guidelines on Birding and Social Distancing , even if you live in a country that has been far more responsible in efforts to flatten the curv

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, birding in Michoacán has required that I find most of my own hotspots. As distancing has become more and more important in recent weeks, I have visited the loneliest of these, one by one. But last week, I decided to go exploring once again, in search of new places where I can bird alone. The previous week I had birded along a mountain path called the camino al Ejido Triquillo.

The checklist for a basic birding outing has become more complex during the COVID-19 crisis. Along with the usual optics and gear, you have to consider packing masks and antiseptic hand wash. Your choice for birding spot depends equally on the abundance of birds and scarcity of birders.

September 2017, Cerrado, Brazil. The proprietor of our ecolodge guides my small group of birders up a steep slope where we see, just at the point where a scope view deteriorates into pixels, a huge bird—a Chaco Eagle, also known as a Crowned Eagle—on a huge nest. We are cautioned to keep the location of the eagle a secret. Why? Local farmers view it as a threat to domesticated wildlife.

Following on from my post 14 days ago when Australia was closed to international visitors there has been a lot happen in the world since then. I went slightly off-topic last week for my 500th post and shared some Echidna photos , but this week I will return to birds. The migratory shorebirds continue to head to the Northern Hemisphere to breed. This year the Broome Bird Observatory are updating their website daily with the latest numbers of shorebirds that leave each evening.

Reviewed regularly on this blogsite are: (1) bird identification guides, visual and sonic; (2) books about living with birds or caring for rescued birds; and (3) alcoholic beverages named after birds. They are well-worthy of review because all of them can be of direct practical use to birders in their birdly pursuits. What about books of fiction? Direct practical use, maybe not so much, but still worthy of a birder’s interest, to the extent they deal with avifauna in one way or another.
