I am only including them in this post to give you my real-life Kabul experience … Four species are the most easily seen in the few urban parks (into which women are not actually allowed to enter – I am not sure about female birds). The photos taken with my mobile phone all suck.

With nine years of experience using it and birding with beginning birders, I would like to update that opinion. This is, in a way, no surprise since it was designed by birders who have used their own experiences in the field to determine what warbler seekers really need. The Resources section is very brief.

To see such a comprehensive resource (which has since been revised twice) with my own eyes lit a fire within that’s still burning today. The years passed and I had several similar experiences with this cryptic species. I had already been birding for some time, but my photography was poor and my identification skills were abysmal.

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?

My first experiments involved rooting cuttings of several of Michoacán’s dozens of Salvia species. One final note: Attempting this sort of project requires almost no resources. These days, money is not so much of an issue. Eventually I did the same with Penstemons and Agastaches — hummingbird magnets, all.

The text is simple, and with the provision of a glossary at the back (along with a useful code of eagle-watching ethics and a list of resources) this book is suitable for students as young as the middle grades but won’t offer much new information to more experienced birders.

I wish there was more discussion of research techniques and resources. Research experiments are described without citing the names of the researchers themselves or any other background information. As most birders know, playback is controversial in the birding world.

In other words, if you value this type of bird photography, it is most probably worth it.

How much do birders value a birding experience? But there are few transactions that can be analyzed to determine how much value birding experiences, themselves, provide to a birder. This includes bird-watching experiences. Some aspects of birding can be calculated and studied economists.

It appears that hedgehog numbers in the UK have dropped by 25% in the last 10 years , so every hedgehog that can be saved is extremely worthwhile.

Because I am relatively new to birding, this resource proved to be invaluable.

I can hardly begin to describe the surreal experience that unfolded before me. Patience, thus, is key.

So, all this makes birding this place an occasionally less than pleasant experience. Efficient use of the limited resource parrotbill nests, I guess. A pity, as overall the habitat looked rather good (I have learned that to pose as an experienced birder, it helps to frequently comment on presumed habitat quality).

It’s the warbler that is often the last unchecked species on birders’ life lists and, whether you list or not, for most of us observing it is a once in a lifetime experience. This means, of course, that the very resources responsible for the warblers’ existence, especially funds for cowbird trapping, will no longer be available.
