10,000 Birds

I watched some movie the other day, in which an artist, a real historical figure, says something how art is a… well, I didn’t write it down immediately and couldn’t find it googling later (assuming that the thought is as historical as the artist), but I recognized birding in those words. Simply replace “art” with “birding” and it made perfect sense.

Now that fall has officially fallen over the Northern Hemisphere, we can finally embrace apple cider, football, and anything flavored with pumpkin spice. Even better, this time of year is exactly when fall migration occurs. Did your weekend feature any fall migrants? Without any real birding or outdoor activity during what was a gorgeous New York weekend, I still observed plenty of birds.

Well what’s the big deal, you might ask? I see those all the time. But you’ve never seen one like this before, because A Hawk in the Woods is the title of my debut novel, coming this February from Word Horde. The hawk in question is a Red-tailed Hawk – not a species strongly associated with myth or horror, like the Raven , and not a rare or spectacular or symbolic species, like the Gyrfalcon.

During the last weekend of September, birds are well and truly on the move all across the world. So why aren’t you birding right now? I will be out and about trying to catch migratory action in the Rochester area this weekend. Corey will be doing the same around Queens. How about you? Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below.

Our little adventure now moves us farther north, into Idaho’s Teton Valley area, and a visit to Jackson, Wyoming. As we get a little farther north, my target list for bird species has diminished a bit, as there are a lot of repeats, and not many new bird opportunities. Now, the stunning mountain vistas, incredible waterfalls, seemingly bottomless canyons and a bunch of incredible animals certainly have kept this part of the drive adventurous.

Sanderling- Calidris alba have been returning to Broome over the past few weeks from their northern migration. Each year the Sanderling depart from Australia and head north to Siberia to breed and then return to be observed running frantically along the water’s edge. Sanderling prefer sandy beaches and they are found along Cable Beach , northern Cable Beach , Reddell Beach and Gantheaume Point when they are present in Broome.
