Many of those species also nest in the park. According to their website , Lassen Volcanic National Park provides habitat for approximately 216 species of birds in which 96 have been known to actually breed in the park.

It’s 2017 and we have reached the halfway point. If you are doing any sort of year list, you know what I’m talking about and also know that now is the time to take a moment, count up the species, and go over strategies to reach those birding goals for 2017.

Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of July 2017?

10,000 Birds

July has settled like a hot, muggy blanket over my part of New York, offering little more than streaky, young American Robins for entertainment. Fortunately, shorebirds are starting to turn up, which just goes to show you that birding is like Mark Twain’s depiction of weather in New England: If you don’t like it now, just wait a few minutes.

The Cutting Edge: Bird Feeder Patents

10,000 Birds

Bird feeding is serious business. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that Americans spend nearly $1 billion annually on bird houses, feeders, nest boxes, and baths. Sizable markets attract competition and many companies have turned to a proven way to distinguish their products: innovation. Much of that ingenuity has been directed to a single problem: squirrels.

Tough Love on the Beach

10,000 Birds

In June, I go to Nickerson Beach, a place of nesting Common Terns , American Oystercatchers , Piping Plovers , and, later in the summer, Black Skimmers. Corey wrote about the Common Tern chicks of Nickerson back in 2014, so I thought it was time for another post.

10,000 Birds

Summer means different things to different communities across the world. The closer to the poles you live, the more likely you lustily embrace this season. Around here, summer features festivals pretty much every single weekend. Diversions like these definitely help get us through the more prosaic birding months.

Glossy Ibis breeding around Broome

10,000 Birds

Over the past few months there has been a steady increase in the number of Glossy Ibis around the Broome area and it has not been hard to find a location where you can observe the Straw-necked Ibis , Australian White Ibis and the Glossy Ibis together. The Broome area has been an excellent area for birds to come to this year after significant rains during our wet season and we have seen increased numbers of some species we rarely see in dry years.
