10,000 Birds
NOVEMBER 3, 2022
Few places boast so many different bird species in such a small area — over 900 species (more than Europe, or all of the United States and Canada combined), including 75 different families, like 51 species of hummingbirds, 48 warblers, and 45 tanagers. It was close to 5 a.m., the best time for city traffic to eat me alive.

This map shows the distribution of the World’s bird species, based on overlying the breeding and wintering ranges of all known species. I used to live in Botswana, where there are about 450 bird species in an area a few dozen miles from the capital; then somewhat naively moved back to Serbia with mere 250 species around the capital.

Peacocks and Picathartes’s author, Rupert Watson, was born in England but has lived in Kenya for over 40 years where he practices variably as a lawyer, mediator, naturalist and writer.

Shockingly, the Ashy-throated Parrotbill apparently is a species heavily hunted for bird fighting in Guizhou Province, China ( source ). Shame on the researchers. The other is to mention that the name commemorates Edward Blyth (1810-1873), who published the first description of the species.

But first, not thinking of proper research, I made no difference between questions, nor were the mentioned destinations really visited or only dreamed about. 4%: Mexico, West Papua (Indonesia), New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya. Or the lack of some expected answers. Most respondents mentioned more than one destination. 21%: Costa Rica.
