10,000 Birds

FEBRUARY 12, 2014

Last November, my family and I were visiting my sister in Long Island, New York when I got an email alert that both a Barnacle Goose and Greater White-Fronted Goose were spotted out on Shinnecock Bay on the east end–two uncommon birds that I had never seen (not surprising since I just started, but still sounded good to me).

Unfortunately the Bar-tailed Godwit was too distant on an outgoing tide to be able to read any writing on the yellow flag, so although we know it was marked in Norway since 2016 we are not able to find out the individual birds history. Another exciting find on October 27th was a family of Whooper Swans at the Killingholme Haven Pits.

Disneynature’s first film, Earth , which comes out on Earth Day (April 22,2009), follows three animal families across the globe. Fothergill: For me, it has to be Svalbard, which is an archipelago of islands between Greenland and northern Norway. I was lucky enough to get a chance to speak to the directors and ask a few questions.

My trips abroad were limited to short family vacations to the Cote d’Azur during the first days of January and a week-long vacation to northern Tuscany / Italy in May. I was quite shocked to learn that my last Northern Gannets were seen in Norway waaaaay back in 1992, some 15 years ago!
