So armed with some knowledge from the “ Access Considerations for Birding Locations ” page on the Birdability website and some research, I twice visited the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge near Portland, Oregon with accessibility in mind. It is an eye-opening experience to view a familiar place from a new perspective.

I don’t really know – from my own experience with school bullies or from Jack London’s novels? Attempting to bluff the bear in believing that they were even bigger bears, Hoshino suggested raising their hands, to appear taller. How did I know that?

I couldn’t help thinking this–me, the anthropomorphism hater– as I watched a pair of Philippine Eagles tend their nest, raise a chick, and tear monkeys apart in Bird of Prey: The Story of the Rarest Eagle on Earth , a well-crafted, beautifully filmed documentary with a mission. The Philippine Eagle has a kind face.

Islands, for various reasons, experience more extinctions than continents (with Africa being the only continent not suffering a bird extinction!). However the rewards are certainly worthwhile and it’s a special experience to know that you are one of a handful of birders to have had the privilege of seeing this bird alive!

Many birders keep personal birding lists or life lists, documenting the species they have seen throughout their birding experiences. The concept of a big year gained significant attention through books, such as “The Big Year” by Mark Obmascik, which chronicled the experiences of birders participating in competitive big years.

I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences. I’m wondering as I write if you are shaking your head, uneasy that all these FACTS will interfere with your love of observing owls, an experience that easily borders on the mystical for some of us. But what do we know beyond these commonly seen and heard behaviors?
