Far From Land: The Mysterious Lives of Seabirds–A Book Review

10,000 Birds

About six-and-a-half years ago I had the privilege of watching a young Waved Albatross on the Galapagos island of Española learning how to fly. The sight of the large bird, so awkward on the ground, trying to launch itself with the coaching of an indefatigable parent, was funny, charming, and amazing in its uniqueness. It’s not often that we have the opportunity to glimpse the home life of albatrosses, nor of any seabird species.

Kaytee Cuddle-E Cup Review #ChewyInfluencer

4 The Love Of Animals

I received this item free of charge from Chewy in exchange for my honest review. It’s not always easy to find things that are made for hedgehogs. Yes, they are still quiet uncommon little pets! But luckily a lot of.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of March 2018)

10,000 Birds

Now that the first weekend of March has blown through, a lot of people I know are already looking forward to April. Hope your weekend wasn’t too rough! I had to get my birding in early this weekend, so a flyover flock of Tundra Swans up at Braddock Bay took care of business nicely. I’ve been chasing this species for months in an effort to close out our local swans, when all I needed to do was hang out at the hawk watch station!

Chiming Wedgebills

10,000 Birds

Chiming Wedgebills – Psophodes occidentalis are a species that we have never actually gone looking for, but also a species that we have never encountered. We have undoubtedly been in the right environment in Western Australia over the years, but they just have not been where we were on any given day! However, we have recently had an excellent encounter with several of these delightful birds south of Carnarvon in Western Australia.

Where Are You Birding This Second Weekend of March 2018?

10,000 Birds

Mid-March has little to recommend it from a birding perspective, at least where I live. Try to appreciate these slow times, when nothing too distracting or demanding requires your attention. At the very least, you can get some work done. For once, I’m not working over the weekend. Hopefully, something new wanders into Rochester airspace, as I’ve finally had my fill of our winter birds.

My 2018 Great Backyard Bird Count

10,000 Birds

I hope everyone participated in at least one day of the four day Great Backyard Bird Count of 2018. I submitted five checklists from four different locations yielding 44 species. As I walked out on my back porch on Friday morning, the first day of the count, it was a cool, clear day and the birds were very active at the feeders. As the Red-Shouldered Hawk seen above screamed overhead, Acorn Woodpeckers not only treated themselves to the woodpecker feeder, they had to attack the sunflower feeders

Quality Birds at Cano Negro, Costa Rica

Fulfilling, delicious if you will, satisfying. Serious chocolate cake? Almost, but even better. They get you where it counts, right in the birding heart. Or, they are just lifers or birds rarely seen. Whatever the case, there are some serious quality birds lurking in the wetlands and woodlands of Cano Negro, Costa Rica. Cano Negro is one of Costa Rica’s two largest wetlands.

Collaborative List – February 2018

10,000 Birds

February birding can be tough. “They will still be there next week” can no longer be used as an excuse to avoid some heavy weather. This month is when the hard work to fill the winter quota is put in. So bravo to the beats who have wrapped up, knuckled down and got out there. 149 lists were submitted from 6 countries by 10 beats. They found 673 species and advanced the yearly total to 1019.

Week Five: We arrive in the land of Kiwis

10,000 Birds

No matter how much I want to make sure these stories are all about the birds, there is just something I just have to get off my chest. It’s all about March 1st. It is gone. Never to be seen again. I have now flown to New Zealand, in search of as many new bird species as I can track down, at a semi-pedestrian pace, mixed with some normal tourist activities.
