eBird Profile Pages and the Power of Suggestion

10,000 Birds

According to eBird , I have been entering checklists since December 23, 2009, and I find it an incredibly useful way to maintain my lists, plan birding travel, and keep up on my favorite hotspots. eBird automatically organizes my observations by country, state, and county, and keeps running totals for my life and year lists. Indeed, without eBird, I would not have any lists at all.

Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge Black Bears

10,000 Birds

Though I grew up where the Hudson Valley meets the Catskill Mountains, in the heart of Black Bear country, I can count my encounters with said bears on the fingers of one hand. In my young teenage years I was walking through the woods and was suddenly startled by a young bear dropping out of a tree only about five meters from me but before I could even react it was running away.

Best Bird of the Weekend (First of April 2018)

10,000 Birds

If the cold weather across much of the United States is any indication than T.S. Eliot was correct when he stated that “April is the cruellest month.” Despite the cruel, cold weather I was out and about on both Saturday and Sunday morning, despite the added cruelty of just having returned from (slightly) warmer North Carolina late on Friday night.

Week Ten: A little less travel

10,000 Birds

For any of you that read my posting last week, you know that I am hanging around here on the North Island of New Zealand, and all forward progress has stalled once we arrived here at Whananaki. The country side is beautiful, the weather has been very pleasant, and there has been a very nice bunch of birds to keep me from getting itchy feet. If there was nothing more than the large group of Brown Teal here, it would be enough to keep me around for a while.

Where Are You Birding This Second Weekend of April 2018?

10,000 Birds

With all of my gallivanting across a small swath of the American Southwest last week, I plumb forgot to ask you where you were birding. Hopefully, you can find consolation for this oversight in the fact that I saw lots of juicy (figuratively, not literally) birds from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. But here we are again, facing a weekend with unlimited birding potential… I’m back in wintry Rochester wondering how I’m going to spot American Woodcocks in a snowstorm.

Crossroads Brewing Company: Black Rock Stout

10,000 Birds

The northeast United States has been enduring what has seemed like an eternal winter this year, with day after day of unseasonably cool temperatures and even a few April snow showers here in Albany, New York. In writing my last few reviews – one of a rather warming Irish whisky, and another of the world’s most famous stout – I really was hopeful that I was bidding a fitting farewell to this unwelcome lingering winter for good.

Birding from New York to North Carolina

10,000 Birds

This is the third year that my family and some our close friends did a vacation together. Two years ago it was Culebra, Puerto Rico. Last year it was New Providence in the Bahamas. This year, traveling in April instead of February, we decided to do a road trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. To get there we would need to get out of New York, through New Jersey into Delaware, and then on through Maryland and Virginia until finally reaching our destination.

Collaborative List – March 2018

10,000 Birds

Claire and Grant have made it back to civilisation after sharing a checklist for almost every day of February. Their submissions didn’t quite make it into the February count, so we shall use them to boost the March figures. Tom continues his odyssey around the world, bumping into birds and beats along the way. In a blatant attempt to make the figures look even better than they already, any sightings shared with another beat will be counted twice.
