10,000 Birds

NOVEMBER 5, 2017

I know I neglected to ask you where you were birding this weekend, but don’t ever think that means I don’t want to know. Corey had a great Saturday morning on the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge which has still not filled back up after being drawn down for shorebird season this summer. So fire away!

This time I’ll be working with Wildlife ACT in Zululand, helping that NGO monitor wildlife in a range of reserves and parks in the east of South Africa. I bring this up not to boast (well, not much) but because I think that this approach to wildlife travel is somewhat neglected in birding circles.

I am often guilty of neglecting “place&# when birding. What events transpire miles away that make a certain destination attractive to birds and wildlife in one way or another? Why is a particular destination better than the next for certain birds? These are questions that I feel we as birders need to ask ourselves more often.
