One of the good things that has happened is an international treaty that has established the Ross Sea Marine Protected Areas, encompassing all the Ross Sea Emperor Penguin colonies and most of their molt area.

It is challenging when you rely on a bicycle for transport for most of the week, but I have learnt to read the sky over the years and storms are isolated and often further away than you think. That really is flooding rain and quite an experience. I have been caught out, but it is only water and it is not cold!

Having more than 1300 bird species, including over 75 endemics, it is hard to resist the lure of India – something I know from personal experience. Yet, with larger protected areas things get more complicated. Small reserves such as the Khijadiya and the Thol Lake Wildlife Sanctuaries in Gujarat are mostly well described.

What started as me posting a link on my private Facebook page about how much I hate the Transportation Security Administration, quickly turned into a very revealing conversation about race and could be a very large and underlying issue of why we don’t see more people of color in birding or enjoying nature in general. Not too many I bet.
