Birding California: A Regional Primer

10,000 Birds

'When one thinks of taking a birdcation somewhere in the U.S., the same few states always come to mind first…Alaska, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. That’s where everyone goes, and for good reason. However, I am here to make the case for birding California. With the largest state list by a considerable margin and a mind-boggling diversity of habitats, I reckon we have some amazing birding to offer.

On the Edge.

10,000 Birds

'The Floe Edge is a magical place. In simplest terms it is where the landfast ice meets the open ocean, and it is a magnet for wildlife, especially in the 24 hour light of the Arctic spring. I don’t get there every year, but I managed to spend one day there again this year. A scant 24 hours to take it in. This June my brother-in-law and I took off to Kangiq (Cape Crauford), the western edge of of the mouth of Admiralty Inlet to Lancaster Sound.

Alien species – Rose-ringed Parakeet.

10,000 Birds

'Rose-ringed Parakeets ( Psittacula krameri ) have become the scourge of the householder in the Home Counties of the UK. Their raucous screeching kick-starts more mornings than alarm clocks and early flights from Heathrow Airport combined. There are many suggestions about their introduction into the UK. Theories range from the dull account of an escape from a Staines petshop to the more romantic notion that they starred alongside Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn when they filmed “African Qu

The Conspicuous Steller’s Jay

10,000 Birds

'The Steller’s Jay ( Cyanocitta stelleri ) is one of the ubiquitous birds seen at Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California. They are a non-migratory species found in western coniferous and mixed-coniferous forests, breeding from Alaska, western Canada, and the United States south through western Mexico to Nicaragua. Although they are normally non-migratory, populations that breed at high elevations typically move to lower elevations during the winter.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of July 2014)

10,000 Birds

'The end of July is when shorebird migration truly picks up, at least in eastern North America. It is also when a huge number of people are hitting the beach, which often serves as habitat for those migrating shorebirds. If we could only find good ways to get beach-goers interested in birds instead of irritated by them. Ideas anyone? While others were enjoying the beach this weekend I was enjoying the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge where I reacquainted myself with the mud and the shore

Lake Illawarra-New South Wales

10,000 Birds

'As you can see from the above photo there was a day that we needed to get out of the Southern Highlands in New South Wales on our recent holiday and head for the coast. We had a really good day on the coast visiting Bass Point Reserve and we then dropped by Lake Illawarra on our way back to the Southern Highlands. Depending on which direction you looked the weather did not appear so bad!

Invasive Species Week Wrap-Up

10,000 Birds

'Invasive is such an ugly word, isn’t it? An invader, after all, is nothing if not unwelcome. Even the word “ invade ” describes intrusions described colorfully as forceful, hostile, destructive, and even injurious. Interestingly, the birding lexicon uses other terms to describe unanticipated arrivals in more positive terms. For example, to irrupt , at least as far as animals are concerned, is simply to enter a region suddenly and in very large numbers.
