The Great Hummingbird Nest Heist

10,000 Birds

Tom Brown grew up in the high desert area of Central Oregon. His love for birds and photography started at a young age. Thru the course of time, travel, and a lot of different occupations, he ended up living in Seattle, and met a girl with a sailboat. They’ve been traveling the world ever since! After collecting nearly 70K bird photos, he felt that it was time to share them, so he now has his bird blog in order to do just that!

Getting a Birder a Common Bird

10,000 Birds

You don’t know how hard it is to see a common bird until you try to get someone else to see one. This is the lesson I learned at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival back in January when a young birder, Noah Kuck, let me know that he really wanted to see a Carolina Wren. He let me know this at the end of a field trip to Salt Lake Wildlife Management Area during which I had heard several wrens doing their “Teakettle Teakettle Teakettle” song but hadn’t really trie

Caspian Gull: The continental gull

10,000 Birds

The world is still turning, the blog didn’t crash, no anonymous threats against my family on social media … I guess my small series on gulls may continue with part 2 of 3, which will focus on the Herring Gull ‘s second side-kick: Caspian Gull Larus cachinnans. Amongst all the species that were split off the Herring Gull, the Caspian Gull is my favourite one, and its existence alone is our fair reward for the identification crisis we had to endure during the dark ages of the 199

Dusty, Dry Forest Birding in Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

Tis the dry season in Costa Rica and on this side of the mountains, we are under the direct rule of the glaring sun. I walk outside and move from shadow to shade, keeping to the edges of walls and houses. If there were more trees in the Central Valley, the walks would be more leisurely, and, I dare say, with a bit more moisture in the air. But, at present, there’s not enough room for trees in most of the urban zones, only cement, asphalt, and houses.

The Loggerhead Shrike of Veterans Park

10,000 Birds

I love when my parents come to visit me in Florida. My mother is an active birder, and both parents are passionate about spending as much time as possible in the outdoors. Whenever they visit, I show them around my favorite eco hotspots. No birder should visit the Emerald Coast without a stop at Veterans Park at Baywalk. I’ve written about the site before, and never cease to marvel at the ecological importance of such a small natural area.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of March 2016)

10,000 Birds

No matter where you live, you may have seen the signs this weekend. Some birds are leaving, making room for welcome new arrivals. Don’t you love this time of year? I noticed plenty of species I hadn’t seen all winter, but was most surprised by an energetic Northern Mockingbird. Had it really been so long since we’d last met? Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was either of a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers that he saw at the Ramshorn Livingston Sanctuary in Catskill, New York,
