The Little Big Year: Week 40 – Last week in CR, and The Quetzal!

10,000 Birds

Our trip to Costa Rica has come to an end, and sadly, it ended with one of the best weeks of birding in the entire year. We spent to bulk of the week in the San Isidro El General area, staying there as well as up in the Quizarra area. We had three nights in The Birders Retreat Air BnB, two nights in San Isidro proper, and then back to Quizarra to stay at the Valle de Luna BNB for our last night.

Where Are You Birding This Fourth Weekend of November 2018?

10,000 Birds

You’d think that a long weekend launched by Turkey Day would prove popular for birding in the United States. On the contrary, the fourth weekend of the month usually features eating, traveling, football, more eating, shopping, and maybe–if the leftovers hold out–still more eating. Plus, birding is never all that popular in these parts.

10,000 Birds

While I rarely lie to our readers, this moment calls for complete candor: I cannot stand the arrival of winter. Rochester is already cold and snowy, chronic conditions which will last for another six months or so. I will, of course, get over my weather woes and find a way to enjoy the unappreciated pleasures of winter birding. For now, though, I’m still resisting!

Leucistic Thrush revisit

10,000 Birds

A return to Sao Paulo just 4 weeks after my last visit gave me a chance to check up on the leucistic Rufous-bellied Thrush that I had seen in Ibirapuera Park. I had seen it during both visits to the park in the same locale each time. This time it was easily re-found both times in exactly the same location and still associated with a small loose flock of more conventionally coloured Rufous-breasted Thrushes.

The 701 Long-eared Owl of Kikinda

10,000 Birds

Have you heard of a small town in Serbia graced by the presence of its 700 communally roosting Long-eared Owls ? You may have read about them in the Wall Street Journal , the BBC Wildlife Magazine , or perhaps watched them on BBC, who filmed them here twice, for the Planet Earth II in 2015 and for the One Planet in 2018. Actually, the numbers are even higher.

56 Places to Avoid the Mall on Black Friday (in TN)

10,000 Birds

Outdoor-busters for ‘Bird’ Friday. Even though you just heard from me last week, I’m jumping ahead with an idea on how to avoid ‘black’ Friday at the mall. If you live anywhere near Tennessee, the entire state park system is offering free ranger-guided hikes in all 56 state parks on Friday, November 23. There are 1,100 miles of trails, 36 campgrounds, and 372 cabins – perfect ingredients for a long holiday weekend of birding.
