10,000 Birds

I am something of an aficionado of National Wildlife Refuges. The new features are called “ Explore a National Wildlife Refuge ,” and they can be found in the “explore” tab under the “explore a region” sub-tab. For example, some hotspots within the boundaries of a National Wildlife Refuge are not consistently identified as such.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of December 2018)

10,000 Birds

Some may feel that 2018 is inching towards its close. A rather lackluster Sunday morning’s birding didn’t result in any major highlights for Corey, a bummer considering he was scouting for next weekend’s Christmas Bird Count, but he did manage to spot a sextet of high-flying Common Mergansers at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.

Maybe my perspective is biased, but if you’re feeling left out, you should be making 2018 your Year of the Eagle as well. This cooperative bird was found on Saturday in one of the openings in the ice at the south end of the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and Corey went and saw it on Sunday. How about you?

A Lake Reborn… sort of

10,000 Birds

Each of the dark marks in this photo from August, 2018 was a duck. The good news is that this summer central Mexico is experiencing its best rains since 2018. I dearly hope the second half of 2021 brings you good news, and that we can all soon get back to sharing abundant water-loving wildlife.

What’s Up with the ABA?
