When for whatever reason you may no longer be much of a walker, that shouldn’t be a reason not to be a birder. A car is the obvious solution. When it’s sunny, you have the shade you want; when it’s cold, you can turn on the heating; when it’s windy, you can close the windward window. And you can also use your car speakers to play that owl call. What sort of a car would be the best choice?

The stage is set for two rival gangs to fight over coveted territory: a grassy lawn bordered by a dirt road and a smattering of trees, surrounded by grassland and marsh. At first glance, the Sandhill Cranes seem to be at an advantage. They’re taller, after all, with larger wingspans and sharper beaks. On the other hand, the Canada Geese have both safety in numbers and famously aggressive personalities.

I know that some of you have faithfully following along on our adventure this year, and might have noticed that there was now “Week 27” I am afraid this week was dedicated to getting ready for the road trip that will carry us thru the bulk of the balance of 2018. Our 5th wheel needed some maintenance work, a couple of small repairs and a couple of major upgrades.

The summer has been glorious in the UK this year. Sun, sun and more sun. How marvellous it was for a couple of weeks, but we are not used to stability in our weather and quickly get bored. It has been said that the greatest thing about the British weather is that if you don’t like it, all you have to do is wait a few minutes and it will change.

Every weekend possesses its own charms, but the ones that extend into the regular work week inspire the most excitement. We Americans certainly love our Labor Day weekend, despite conflicting views about labor itself. Just remember that this weekend presents the last fashionable chance for your summer whites, although I don’t recommend that if you’re birding!

The end of August, which often seems synonymous with the end of summer, evokes an entire spectrum of emotion, from sweet to bitter. Birders, however, approach that wistful moment with more excitement than, say, school children. The end of August signals the beginning of another great global migratory movement. I’d trade local sweet corn for that!

After beginning the month with two sour beer reviews, I’ve decided to keep the streak going to close out August with a third. While you can certainly drink sour beers after Memorial Day – yes, even white, wit , and weisse ones – their tart, refreshing flavors are a better fit for the final, sultry days of late summer than any other beer I know. And, with all due apologies to those who have yet to acquire a taste for tartness, please bear with us and rest assured it won’t be long before we move i

There are two kinds of bird names in this world. There are names assigned by a single person at a single point in time, including all the binomial scientific nomenclature and most of the common names that involve the bird being named after someone’s friend, sponsor, or sister-in-law. And there are folk names, which often sound super-weird, disproportionately involve onomatopoeia, and invite embarrassing folk etymologies.

Peeps are the smallest of our Calidris sandpipers or, as Mike has said here on 10,000 Birds : ‘Peeps’ is the birding term used to describe several species of sandpiper of the genus Calidris that are near impossible to tell apart. These small shorebirds all have short legs and similar plumage and frequent mud flats in search of the same food.
