Isla Isabel – Mexico’s Galapagos

10,000 Birds

'Its amazing to me that there are still places on earth where wildlife is blissfully unafraid of humans. Isla Isabel, a picturesque volcanic island situated 15 miles off Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit coast, is just such a place. The island is half a mile wide and about three-quarters of a mile in length. It was made a National Park in the 1980s and is a major breeding and nesting area for over 30,000 seabirds.

Live, Love, and Bark

4 The Love Of Animals

'As a dog lover, I am always on the look out for fun new toys for Baby to try. Live, Love, and Bark is a great online shop full of items for dogs and dog lovers alike. Recently they sent Baby a cute new dog toy and some cheeseburger treats to try out. Baby fell in love with the toy! The Flat Floppy Quack is perfect for her little mouth, and because it is stuffing free, there isn’t a worry of her pulling stuffing out!

Clapper and King rails may represent four or five species

10,000 Birds

'Clapper and King rails ( Rallus longirostris and R. elegans ) are the largest rails in the Americas. Their taxonomic status long has been unclear due to their overall similarity and the fact that in eastern North America and Cuba, they hybridize. But some recent work by James Maley and others is shedding more light on these secretive and fascinating birds.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of April 2013)

10,000 Birds

'One question every self-described birder must grapple with is to twitch or not to twitch. Some of us love to chase down preposterous vagrants, while others eschew bird chasing for contemplation of standard local fare and seasonal specialties. I raise this perennial issue because I found myself twitching a rare ABA bird this weekend. Did you? My ill-advised twitch was a run for the Long Island Ruffs recently spotted on the south shore.

Bicknell’s Thrush in Trouble on Wintering Grounds

10,000 Birds

'Any birder who has committed to accumulating an impressive ABA-area list knows about the rare and elusive Bicknell’s Thrush. Believe me, after hiking up a mountain in the middle of the night just to catch a glimpse of this bird, I have mixed feelings about whether we even need it in a world with abundant Gray-cheeked Thrush , its more copious counterpart.

Surfbirds at Humbolt Bay North Jetty During Godwit Days Bird Festival

10,000 Birds

'The Godwit Days Spring Migration Bird Festival in Arcata and Eureka on the north coast of California was fabulous! I added several birds to my 2013 year list during my four day stay, including the Surfbird ( Aphriza virgata ). The Surfbird outside of the breeding season can be found along almost the entire Pacific Coast of the Americas, from southeastern Alaska all the way to Tierra del Fuego in southern Chile.

Birding Santa Cruz Island

10,000 Birds

'Today we take a brief reprieve from birder commentary to talk actual birds, specifically those of Santa Cruz Island, where my lowly-esteemed colleague Seagull Steve is currently doing field work on some of the nearshore seabirds there. The fundamental question is, where is it? Many people, birders and otherwise, if a poor grasp on the realities of this place.

Eurasian Tree Sparrows from long ago

10,000 Birds

'So, the good news is I defended my thesis successfully. The bad news is I then celebrated too hard, fell down, and broke my wrist. Since it’s really hard to type in a splint, here is a blast from the past: specifically from the beginning of this long, strange trip, my cross-country journey from New York to Montana: I have to confess, I had forgotten all about the Eurasian Tree Sparrow.

Photographing Northern Rough-winged Swallows

10,000 Birds

'As Redgannet has pointed out, photographing high-flying, quick-moving, and extremely maneuverable birds is not easy. In fact, he advised you not to try to take pictures of swifts. I decided to follow his advice, mostly because the Chimney Swifts aren’t back to my neighborhood yet, and instead I spent a good portion of Sunday afternoon trying to get pictures of swallows, Northern Rough-winged Swallows to be exact.

Back to birding in Broome

10,000 Birds

'We have finally returned home to Broome after spending most of the year either birding and camping in Queensland or birding around Grant’s work commitments in and around Karratha in the Pilbara district of Western Australia. It is really good to be home and back with our familiar birds and although we have already seen 320 species this year they have been mostly away from home.

Where Are You Birding This Fourth Weekend of April 2013?

10,000 Birds

'Magnificent Frigatebirds soaring over Mexico’s Isla Isabel. (These weren’t the only amazing birds James enjoyed at Isla Isabel !). Avian migration may come in a trickle or a torrent depending on time of year, weather patterns, and mysterious phenomena known only to wild animals and wealthy farmers. Early spring, which is still the season where I live, releases new species a few at a time.

Catalonian Spring

10,000 Birds

'Now nearing 50 and duly lost in a mid-life crisis, Dragan Simic took to birding rather late – only half a lifetime ago, after successfully testing his inadequate skills in other life threatening activities, such as rock climbing and vertical caving. In the end, it was birding that has taken him from his native Serbia, across the Balkans and Turkey, to the very borders of the Old World: East Anglia and Spain, southern Africa and India, where he chased that country’s rarest owl.
