Looking for Year Birds in the Central Valley of Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

It’s good to have birding goals. Challenges like a Big Year, county lists, or a Big Sit can push a birder to learn more, to improve the birding focus, and become more aware of what’s happening in the avian neighborhood. This year, my main challenge is identifying 700 species within the borders of Costa Rica by December 31st. It’s a fine goal to aim for because although it is possible, the goal won’t be reached unless you spend the right time looking for certain birds in t

South East Arizona’s Madera Canyon

10,000 Birds

A note of thanks to Corey and Mike, for their patience, while I took a break after a very busy 2018!! Now that Jeanne and I have finally settled on Tucson, Arizona at least for a while, I will pick up where I left off at the end of 2018. Arizona, specifically the South East portion of the state, will be my “beat” for the rest of this year. I have lived most of my life in a desert of some form, be it the high desert areas of Oregon, to the more arid Southern Baja of Mexico, so I am truly amazed

Where Are You Birding This Second Weekend of March 2019?

10,000 Birds

All things being equal, March offers much less birding excitement than most other months. I’ll go so far as to say that birding in March is boring. Do you disagree? Change my mind. The one diversion this month offers in the Finger Lakes region is the potential for Saw-whet Owls , which I’ll be seeking this weekend. Corey never seems to find birding boring, so look for him in all the usual NYC-area haunts.

My Trip To Costa Rica with Lifer Tours Part 1

10,000 Birds

I recently returned from a twelve day birding tour of Costa Rica with Lifer Tours guided by an incredible birder, David Rodriquez. I began the trip with a rather long drive from the airport hotel in San Jose to Punta Uva on the southern Caribbean coast for a couple of “free” days before joining the actual tour. One of the obvious sights on the way down were large pendulous nests hanging from several tall trees.

Common Greenshank around Broome

10,000 Birds

At this time of year it is not always easy to access areas of Roebuck Bay where access is on a gravel road. There is always an update on the road conditions on the Shire website. For those of you who would like to observe Common Greenshanks around the Broome area without venturing onto a gravel road there are a couple of options. Firstly you can go to the Barndarlmada Hut at the Poo Ponds.

February Birding in Tybee Island, Georgia

10,000 Birds

The week of President’s Day this year found me, my family, and some close friends spending a week in a beach house on Tybee Island, a low-lying, barrier island just east of Savannah. As always, I spent most mornings out looking for birds, and because the seven of us had only a single minivan to get around, I had to keep my morning outings relatively brief so I was confined to Tybee Island.

Terredora Dipaolo: Aglianico Campania (2016)

Falconry Month at Birds and Booze: I’ve decided to dedicate this month of March 2019 to wines and beers related to the history of falconry – or hawking – for no other reason than that I’ve recently acquired several bottles adorned with mostly medieval European iconography relating to this “sport of kings”. While the hunting of game with trained birds of prey can be a controversial topic among birders , falconry was a valuable early source of information on birds, and its history, culture, and
