10,000 Birds

FEBRUARY 17, 2015

A couple weekends ago I headed out to the Carolina Bird Club’s winter meeting in Nags Head, North Carolina, on the cusp of the Outer Banks. I was to go inland to Pocosin Lakes NWR, home of massive flocks of Tundra Swans and Snow Geese. This is my second ridiculous mink experience. The second was better.

Given my west coast experience, I have made dedicated birding trips to several of the more predictable birding hotspots. Lifers includes Gambel’s Quail and Neotropic Cormorant, but the real highlights were the morning fly-out of Sandhill Cranes and the evening fly-in of Snow Geese. Geography is destiny.

Written in the tradition of the classic Hawks in Flight , but very much a product of the experiences of its birder authors, this is a groundbreaking book that offers a new way of identifying migratory birds at sea to all of us who observe the waters of eastern North America with expectation and excitement. Some maps are quite busy.
