10,000 Birds

DECEMBER 26, 2012

We have a large crow roost in downtown Minneapolis it takes forever for them to finally settle into sleep. It could be that they are less likely to be shot at and driven away or there are fewer natural predators to disturb them at night. Now matter how you slice it, seeing a crow roost in an urban area gets the attention of non birders.

Others may be perfect for a free morning on a business trip to Boston, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, or Las Vegas. Some are great for a specific bird, others for thousands of birds, and others during a particular season. Some just seem to be rarity magnets.

In June, storms hit Minneapolis very hard. On my way, I managed to flag down a Minneapolis Park and Recreation truck. I can tell what bird territory boundaries are in my neighborhood or when an American Robin has spotted a bird eating hawk and when House Sparrows are agitated by Blue Jays are raiding their nests. What could I do?

qn Archaeopteryx-like theropod from China Runner-up: The Bald Eagle that swooped around over the Big Gay Race in Minneapolis in October, which I didn’t get a picture of. It was all mushed up but you could still see its feathers. Has it been the Small Gay Race it might have picked off a couple of racers.

Blade & Sheath is the first beer by Burial I’ve reviewed for 10,000 Birds, but it’s not likely to be the last: their can-only offerings often feature birds thanks to the garish designs of their exclusive house artist, David Paul Seymour of Minneapolis.
