I haven’t even been to all of the best national wildlife refuges for birding. Given my west coast experience, I have made dedicated birding trips to several of the more predictable birding hotspots. For example, not much can beat the experience of seeing a Bald Eagle scare up thousands of Snow Geese at Sacramento NWR.

The Lodge at Pico Bonito is an inviting, idyllic place for relaxation as well as for enjoying wildlife. Cuery y Salado Preserve protects a coastal mangrove system full of wildlife from monkeys to trogons. We first visited Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge. In case you are wondering, Cristalino Lodge was his other top choice.

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) attempts to calculate the economic contribution of National Wildlife Refuge visitation to local communities. Rather, birding and other wildlife observation ( e.g., photography) are lumped together as “non-consumptive” uses of a refuge. Every few years, the U.S. billion for local communities.

Longworth discovered the process of making bubbly quite by accident, but after realizing his unplanned experiment was similar to la méthode champenoise used to produce sparkling wines in Champagne, he used the coincidence to his advantage in his very successful advertising campaigns.

Growing up in central Oregon, allowed me to experience such a diverse amount of habitat, and the wildlife that resides there. The day actually turned out to be a little less productive than I had hoped, but it was such a joy to be back in one of my absolute favorite places on this Earth. I feel like I am home.

The Ross Sea is the most productive stretch of water in the Southern Ocean, teeming with large predatory fish, whales, seals, penguins and other animals that form the last intact marine ecosystem on Earth. And I need you to vote for me and send me to Antarctica, so I could write wildlife blogs on Adélie Penguins and Leopard Seals.

That’s a threatened habitat, and one much sought after by wildlife enthusiasts. After a sumptuous breakfast (albeit one without pork products) we set out on another walk, this time up a hill overlooking the camp.

The experience, the place, and the bird combine to make this my BBOTY. After a productive pre breakfast walk on my last morning in Danum Valley I was walking back satisfied but pittaless. I was a bit sad, too, that we had annoyed the owl enough that it felt it had to strafe us … my normal MO is to avoid stressing out wildlife.

I imagine that it’s a product of the authors’ concerns, but I don’t think it contributes to identification skills or knowledge base. The authors themselves–Rob Hume, Robert Still, Andy Swash, Hugh Harrop, and David Tipling–collectively have 100s of years of birding and photographic experience.

They were still listed as Endangered, but wildlife management measures taken in this park were clearly working. Hence, the experiment was created: a plot was fenced off to keep the animals away and now willow saplings did survive being submerged for half a year. Two rather productive days, I’d say – off to the sea coast now.

A question I am frequently asked by birders and wildlife enthusiasts is: “ if I only visit Africa once, where should I go ?” Highly recommended birding and wildlife sites include Selous Game Reserve, the Eastern Arc Mountains, Pemba and Zanzibar Islands and Arusha National Park.

My own trip was not an intensive birding experience, and August is clearly not the most productive month.

One of the nice things about Christmas in New Zealand is that we get to experience it in the summer, when things are pretty kicking here. But my time out and about has been productive, and shows the productive nature of the Austral spring and summer. It’s been a good year for shags in Karori Wildlife Sanctuary.

There is a lot of wildlife around the lodge. Spin the milk jug around for a bit of product placement. Honestly, the view is to die for before you’ve even seen an animal or a sip of drink. Lake Edward with the Congo behind. Is this even a Juvenile, or is it something else? My books are in the UK, so I can’t be sure.
