A Morning at Punta Morales, Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

One of the quandaries of birding in Costa Rica is deciding where to go birding. Where do you go when there are so many different places to choose from? Costa Rica’s small size, ease of access and massive avian diversity promises a wealth of birds in many places. Do we watch mixed flocks in fresh cloud forest?

Sunda Pygmy Woodpeckers in Singapore

10,000 Birds

During our three weeks of bird-watching in Singapore we didn’t only encounter large birds like the Asian Openbill and the Oriental Pied Hornbill. There was one tiny bird that we observed almost every day in a variety of habitats. The Sunda Pygmy Woodpecker – Yungipicus moluccensis is a tiny bird measuring only around 12-13cm and we observed it in parks, gardens and mangrove areas.

Now that Jeanne and I have settled here in Tucson, Arizona, we have been questioned by our friends dozens of times….Why Tucson? Do you realize it gets really hot there? Are you going to really be OK not being on the move, exploring new countries? Well, Ok, that last one is my own personal question, but it is quite relative.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of April 2019)

10,000 Birds

No matter where you find yourself, you can count on a birding surprise or two this time of year. What was yours? I was surprised at how much I like Common Wood-Pigeons , first spotted out the window of my London lodging.

ÆppelTreow Winery & Distillery: Barn Swallow Draft Cider

10,000 Birds

You’ll have to bear with another short and sweet review this week at Birds and Booze. Not only is spring migration picking up even more than last week, but I’ve also been busy planning my first trip to the southern hemisphere: in another week, I’ll be on a flight to Peru. I hope to review something appropriate for my upcoming trip for next week’s edition, but in the meantime, we have an easy-drinking draft cider that makes a lovely tipple for these cool and crisp early da
