Exploring the Kapela (Chapel) Reserve

10,000 Birds

Ah, late summer mornings, fresh, yet warm and sunny, when fields are rich-yellow and the river Danube so tranquil (so much so that even a Buddhist temple was recently opened at the Danube riverbank). It’s the migration season. Cover photo: Eurasian Sparrowhawk by Magnus Manske (Wikimedia Commons). This morning I drove to the Kapela (“a chapel”) research area of mine, a small geological reserve 15 km / 9 mi upriver from Belgrade, whose management is interested to know whether there is more than j

Birding Central Alabama

10,000 Birds

It was early when my husband and I pulled into Paul M. Grist State Park in central Alabama. Not early for a birder – it was after 8:30 a.m. – but early for normal people on a cloudy Saturday morning. Newly re-opened after budget cuts, the park sported one staff member in the office who generously gave us a map, one woman and her dog, and one family in the set of RV camping spots at the edge of the lake.

North from Alaska: The Surfbirds return to Mexico

10,000 Birds

It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that I was writing about the Surfbirds, and the long trip to their Alaska breeding grounds. Well, they are back. This last week we took a trip over to the Pacific side of the Baja to see who had arrived back from their summer up north.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of August 2017)

10,000 Birds

Some of us had a hot weekend. Some of us had a cold weekend. Some of us have been suffering through the wettest weekend of our lives. No matter how inclement your weekend was, just remember… it still beats Monday! Ivy and I went up to Braddock Bay, where some raptors lurk even in fall. However, the bird I was most surprised by was a Warbling Vireo that perched out in the open long enough for my young daughter to get a decent look.

10,000 Birds

Whenever you come across a Great Bowerbirds bower it is interesting to see what has been placed in the bower to attract a female bird and the variety of bones, stones and other items never ceases to amuse and amaze.

Where Are You Birding This First Weekend of September 2017?

10,000 Birds

Summer, such as it was, is almost over. School is not yet in session here in New York, which means we all have one more weekend to whoop it up. Depending on who you are, living life to the hilt may or may not include birding. We’re entertaining this weekend, but that won’t stop me from trying to get an eyeful of avifauna somewhere around Rochester.
