Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of May 2020)
10,000 Birds
MAY 18, 2020
May delivers one of those amazing times of the year when we’re too busy looking at birds to sit around talking about them. Let’s make this quick… I managed to catch up with many of my favorite spring migrants at most of the usual Rochester hotspots, yet my best bird actually came to me; I stuck my head out of my home office window only to find myself essentially eye level with a Blackburnian Warbler.

Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of September 2020?
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 25, 2020
The last weekend of September doesn’t herald the end of this cycle of migration but rather a run to its peak. The best fall/spring birding weekend in your part of the world may still be weeks away, but you won’t regret getting out right now. I regret having to work a lot this weekend but still hope to find myself where the songbirds are flying fast and furious.

Warblers that Warble
10,000 Birds
MAY 20, 2020
I have commented before in my posts that most of our Warblers here in central Mexico never actually warble. This tendency is so marked that the Spanish name for Wood Warblers, Chipe, comes not from their mating songs, but from their typical feeding calls: cheep… cheep… cheep. Still, there are a few notable exception to this rule, even here in Michoacán.
Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of October 2020)
10,000 Birds
OCTOBER 18, 2020
Any time of year that features skies filled with birds pretty much all day demands attention pretty much all day. If your neck is sore from being on a swivel this weekend, may I suggest swiveling with your hips to get through the rest of the month? I spent a good amount of the weekend on the road and beheld more roadside Belted Kingfishers than I’ve ever seen.
Emerging birding destinations: Serbia
10,000 Birds
MAY 21, 2020
The coronavirus has locked us all in, literally, doing something that was totally unthinkable only a few months ago: it has prevented us from birding abroad! And now we are all dreaming about new destinations to explore, once airports are working again and borders re-open. Only this time, you do not feel like inhaling the same air circling through the plane on a ten hour flight.
Fall Migration in Costa Rica- Six Things I Have Learned
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 26, 2020
For the first 30 something years of my life, fall migration was when the warblers “sipped”, “chipped” and “seeped” in the tired, late summer leaves. It was when I searched for migrant birds on gorgeous days of September, usually near the Niagara Gorge, sometimes while fishing for salmon in the powerful green waters.
Swarovski NL Pure – the Sexiest Binoculars Ever
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 24, 2020
When I saw the NL Pure in a webinar for the first time, immediately – before the webinar ended, I asked my Swarovski sales rep for a pair to test. Later I remembered to ask for another pair, of ELs, so I could compare them. I kept them in my backpack until yesterday, didn’t want to hold them, to get any impressions… I wanted to test them as a tabula rasa (a clean slate).
The Importance of Citizen Science in Mexico
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 23, 2020
I have written about this before, and I’ll probably write about it again. Birding in Mexico is not like birding in the United States… especially when it comes to interpreting unusual sightings. For example, when Corey gets the thrill of seeing a Black-throated Gray Warbler in Queens County, New York, he can be almost 100% sure that he is seeing a one-time vagrant, and not a previously undiscovered population.
Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of October 2020?
10,000 Birds
OCTOBER 30, 2020
In a normal year, we’d enter the final weekend of October thinking of trivialities like tricks, treats, and maybe costume parties. Instead, a cloud of dread hangs over most of the world. Be strong! There are certain days, specific moments when each of us has the potential to change the world for the better. When those moments come your way, rise to the occasion for yourself, your loved ones, and your planet.
Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of September 2020)
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 21, 2020
Every weekend seems to be wild from the perspective of human history. To every bird, though, mid-September remains what it’s always been: a good time to feed, mass, and move ! Corey and I caught plenty of restless migrants at Fort Tilden this weekend. On a nineteen warbler morning, Prairie Warbler stood out for me because I never get to see them upstate.

The Devil Made Me Do It

OCTOBER 28, 2020
Since I am an evangelical pastor down here in Mexico, I always feel a bit odd when I give visiting birders their first encounter with Lucifer. Of course, in my defense, this is not the actual Prince of Darkness I am talking about, but the Lucifer Hummingbird. And as a further clarification, it is generally agreed that this species’ common name comes from the original meaning of the name “Lucifer”, which is “light bearer”, referring to its bright gorget, and not from
Bird Families of the World by Winkler, Billerman and Lovette
10,000 Birds
AUGUST 27, 2020
There is a thing parents know very well – how important it is to choose the right name for a child. E.g. one Croat birder I know, Vedran – I never met a guy so well described by his own name, which loosely translated as “joyful”. Or Fleming – he has chosen “Bond”. It seems to me that Lynx Edicions must know Vedran, too, and it was with him in mind that their authors, David W Winkler, Shawn M Billerman and Irby J Lovette, chose the “Bird Families of the World: A Guide to the Spectacular Diversity
¡Cuerporruín!

OCTOBER 14, 2020
The best laid plans… Last week, I had hoped to get permission to get onto the campus of one or Morelia’s many universities, to look for a family of Wood Ducks that apparently have arrived to spend the winter in its unusual habitat of marshy forest. Unfortunately, my plan was undone by my dislike of asking strangers for favors, and of bureaucracy; while the guards at the back entrance allowed me in last year, this year that gate is closed, and the front-entrance guards turned me away.
A Good Walk Well Spoiled

OCTOBER 21, 2020
Golf is a good walk spoiled. — Mark Twain. Once, and only once, a while after I became a bit crazy about birding, my long-suffering wife decided to go along with me and see what it was all about. Now, my wife is extremely conscientious about exercise. Every day she walks one hour, to the minute. If anything interrupts her walking, she paces in place until she can get back to her serious business.
A Birder’s Guide to the Great American Outdoors Act
10,000 Birds
JULY 24, 2020
Congress has overwhelmingly passed (310-107 in the House and 73-25 in the Senate) the Great American Outdoors Act. It is expected to be signed by President Trump, which would be a rare bipartisan conservation achievement in a bitterly divided Washington D.C. A key aspect of the bill — and much of the coverage — has revolved around permanently funding something called the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).
Gray Hawk from the House
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 12, 2020
Every place has its hawk. At least it seems that way. A generalist raptor that can keep on living in a human dominated landscape. These are the neighborhood raptors that make do, even thrive, by preying on the wildlife of an urban landscape. Granted, the more urban, the less likely that a raptor can make it (except for maybe pigeon connoisseur Peregrine Falcons or garbage disposal Black Kites and vultures) but allow enough green space to persist and some raptor will usually find its place.
Around the World For Penguins: A Penguin Fan’s Book Review

NOVEMBER 3, 2020
Penguins! Penguins here! <pause> Do I have your attention now? There are few bird names that will elicit great big smiles and Penguin is one of them. Other contenders are Kookaburra, Shoebill, and Umbrellabird, but people smile when they hear these names because they know a song or because they can’t believe these are real names of real birds.
Birding a Kimberley Quarry in 2020
10,000 Birds
OCTOBER 4, 2020
Some of you may well remember the quarry that I wrote about in October 2016. The remaining amount of water was really quite disastrous for the local bird-life. Each year is different and the last visit a few weeks ago there was substantially more water. Of course the water will have been evaporating daily, but it was more than appreciated by the local bird-life.

Sasol Birds of Southern Africa, 5th edition

For several years I lived and birded in the south of Africa , and still have my battered second edition (1997) of the Sasol Birds of Southern Africa, the most trusted local field guide. Now, I am holding the 5th edition (2020) in my hands – what has changed in the meantime, especially in the 9 years since the 4th edition? Before that, while you all know what South Africa is, what exactly is Southern Africa?
Bitternsweet Moments

SEPTEMBER 16, 2020
I promise this will be the last article (for a while at least) on this wetland that’s so close to where I live. Truth is, we’ve been getting so many migrants passing through that there hasn’t been much of a need to bird elsewhere. Plus, laziness kicks in pretty often and a 20 minute drive to see relatively rare birds like Nacunda Nighthawks and Glossy Ibises is a definite no-brainer.
Laguna del Lagarto: Bird Photography in Costa Rica at its Best

DECEMBER 19, 2020
Thanks to steadfast advances in optics and digital cameras, bird photography has become quite the popular way to appreciate birds. Unlike the old days of slide film and carefully managed shots, today, with the right equipment, just about anyone can take some pretty fine pictures of the avian kind. The new style doesn’t erase the challenges of bird photography, nor does it delete the importance of learning tricks of the bird photo trade.
Ken Wright Cellars: Pinot Noir – Willamette Valley (2017)
10,000 Birds
OCTOBER 9, 2020
One of the highlights of autumn for many birders in eastern North America is the annual release of the Winter Finch Forecast. Every September, this report offers predictions on possible southward movements of nomadic finches of the boreal forest for the coming winter, as well as a handful of associated non-finch species. The Winter Finch Forecast attempts to make sense of the often erratic movements of these species by assessing the availability of various food crops across the northern forest a
Classy, Elegant Bird Art from Costa Rica

AUGUST 15, 2020
In the era of digital cameras and social media, images of birds are easy to come by. Even photos of the rarest of birds can be found, even heart-wrenching images of bird species that are no longer with us. The fleeting photo of an Ivory-billed Woodpecker tugs at and flies away with a piece of the heart, that final image of a Slender-billed Curlew is difficult to look at, it’s a stab deep inside.
May Warblers, Costa Rican Style
10,000 Birds
MAY 23, 2020
May migration is legendary. It’s when Biggest Week happens, in many places, the fifth month is when it gets truly warm, when we can forget about winter. For myself and surely thousands of other birders, May is when I saw my first of many birds. Niagara Falls State Park, right above the cataracts, is where I used to bike to on May days to see dozens of fantastic chestnut Bay-breasted Warblers whispering from the canopy, American Redstarts and Tennessee Warblers and Nashville Warblers fillin

NOVEMBER 22, 2020
During a season when many of us have constricted our travel radius from several countries or continents from home to several blocks, the forced focus on local patches seems to be turning up some real jewels in different areas. Nothing unusual in your backyard yet? Keep looking… November 2020 appears full of surprises. I am not only surprised but shocked at my second lifer of the month right here in Monroe County.
