Where Are You Birding This First Weekend of June 2018?

10,000 Birds

In terms of migration excitement, June feels like the party you arrived at just a little late. Everyone still seems to having a ball, but the merriment isn’t flowing quite as freely as it was before. Live it up, though, because, with a few weeks, the migration party may really be over! I’m prepping for a big birding bonanza in Honduras (!!!!

Week 17: Kruger NP, Crocodile Bridge to Lower Sabie

10,000 Birds

By the time you see this in the United States, I will have had a full week to explore this amazing area, and the wildlife that calls this home. The schedule is a bit daunting, as we are up before 5 AM to get to the gate for the 6AM opening. We are on the go until usually around 1:30 give or take a herd of zebras blocking the road. Lunch has been at the Lower Sabie camp, where there is a pretty incredible view of the Sabie River, and the many sand bars that form in front of the restaurant.

Week 16: South Africa and Kruger National Park

10,000 Birds

After a very long day of 7 hours of driving, 11 hours flying and then 9 hours more driving, we have arrived at our temporary home here in South Africa. This will act as our base for the next 20 days. The house is a four bedroom, four bath two story, with a deck running around three sides of the upper story, great for wildlife viewing. So far we have seen Impala, Duiker, Greater Kudu, Mongoose, Zebra and warthogs around the neighborhood, and yard.

The Kung Fu Approach to Birding

10,000 Birds

The first rule about birding is that there are no rules for birding. Look at a bird with the intent of identifying it or just watching it because you want to, and that’s it, that’s birding. Some who partake in the hobby, the passion, the possible obsession might beg to differ but they would be wrong because you just can’t argue with such an easy, basic, and honest definition.

Burial Beer Co.: Surf Wax India Pale Ale

10,000 Birds

In North American birding this week, excitement over what might forever be known as “The Checklist” – a stupefying spring migration report from Tadoussac, Quebec highlighted by a truly astronomical count of over 700,000 wood-warblers – quickly gave way to the equally astonishing news of an apparent Tahiti Petrel appearing before a pelagic trip in the waters off North Carolina – a potential record not only for both the state (“Tarheel-ti Petrel”, anyone?

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of May 2018)

10,000 Birds

For some of you, this final weekend of May is still in full flower. Let’s not gloat, though. You may be birding on a Monday morning, but we tally weekend sightings now. I cleaned up a few spring species along the lovely and locally legendary Lakeview Community Church Trail, but my best sightings were in the reeds in front of the more widely renowned Braddock Bay Hawk Watch platform.

Miami Mega Mall vs. Everglades National Park

10,000 Birds

Merchandising folly 1 – Conservation 0. The Miami-Dade County Commission approved development of ‘the largest shopping mall in North America’ with a vote of 9-1 last week. While there’s nothing inherently noteworthy about another super complex, this one will sit in uncomfortable proximity to the Everglades National Park. It has been my privilege to bird in the ‘Glades – the largest US wilderness east of the Mississippi River.
