Beljarica backwaters cover the 900 ha of wilderness on the eastern bank of the Danube, between the river and the embankment, by the suburb of Kovilovo, some 15 kilometres upstream from downtown Belgrade. I have been there several times last month, but barely ever managed to do any proper birding! Mostly, I was showing the area to journalists and talking to cameras.

It’s not just dogs and cats that need to find forever homes, all sorts of pets, including bunnies, need homes! There is a great rescue in California that is working hard on behalf of bunnies, The Bunny Bunch.

There are birders who watch hawks and there are hawk watchers who bird. These, the hawk watchers, are the people who can’t stop watching the skies, even when the view is obstructed by a rainforest canopy or a massive layer of dark-gray clouds, the ones who yell, “Black Hawk!” while pointing to a pinprick in the sun. Raptor identification has developed into a distinct skill, one that has been supported by a steady stream of guides written by some of the best writers and experts aroun

So it turns out dogs are useless. Or at least the four dogs in the house I’m staying at in Montana showed no particular reaction to the 5.8 earthquake and series of aftershocks that made the state wobbly in the early hours of Thursday morning. I myself, up too late as usual, noticed a rolling sensation that ended just as I was starting to think that maybe I should be worried, followed by a flurry of Twitter activity as all the nocturnal folks checked in with each other on what had happened

Mainland island sanctuaries are popular in New Zealand for any number of reasons. On an island where a major cause of biodiversity loss is from introduced predators, fencing off an area and clearing the predators once is a usually effective method of protecting species where removing the invasive from the whole area isn’t feasible (yet). I’ve written before about such projects in Taranaki and Wellington.

July can be very special time of year, but the birding rarely reaches the level of excitement our migratory months deliver. Enjoy this season for what it is and look for birds anyway! I’ll be enjoying real summer weather here in Rochester, while Corey kicks it in NYC. Boring, right? How about you? Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding?

I am sure that the most memorable first bird sightings have a way of sticking in your head. Whether it is an endemic, a rarity, or something that you might have travel a fair distance to see, that first glimpse just has a way of sticking with you. Since most of my birding world revolves around the art of photography, the first image is a little bit more solid, fixed as it were, even if it is never printed or display in some manner for public consumption.

The setting sun had cast a pinkish glow on the storm clouds brewing along the horizon near Cedar Key, Florida. My friends and I bobbed in the shallow water of a low tide, relaxing on the boat in the warm summer air. My friends Savanna and Travis have lived in Cedar Key for over a year now, and since they know how much I love birds they knew where they had to take me during my visit: Snake Key, part of the Cedar Key National Wildlife Refuge.

Weekends, you may have noticed, exhibit remarkable elasticity, capable of being stretched far beyond their normal boundaries. Many of you may still have a couple of more weekend days left to enjoy, but we should check in now for the sake of those less recreationally-endowed. Corey spent the weekend being a tourist in Niagara Falls and Toronto so he didn’t see too many birds.

Last weekend we had an extended family weekend at a beach house in Wildwood, New Jersey, just north of Cape May. And while I would have liked to have spent hours exploring the various birding hotspots in Cape May proper, I compromised and instead explored the saltmarsh and dune scrub habitat at the Two Mile Unit of Cape May National Wildlife Refuge.
