Imagine that… a successful snipe hunt. The post Best Bird of the Weekend (First of August 2019) appeared first on 10,000 Birds. The question is rarely whether someone enjoys an August weekend but rather how much. Share the details! Ivy and I tracked down her first Wilson’s Snipe this weekend.

We are cautioned to keep the location of the eagle a secret.
I viewed them at dusk, through a telescope, from a ridge overlooking the area they were hunting. This northern fox really does look red, unlike the pale, sandy-coloured animals I saw in Georgia in 2019 ( below ).

At the time of writing (March 2019), so far there are 248 eBirded species in the wider area officially representing Belgrade.

The Trumpeter Swans above, for example, winter in Washington’s Skagit Valley, where Hashimoto “attempted to capture the low light and soft grays of winter,” while also rejoicing in this conservation success story–in the early 1960’s the swan numbers in the Valley were down to 15 due to hunting, they now number 11,000.
My recent trip was fantastic, and really re-kindled my love of diving, so much so that I’ve started planning and saving for a diving (and birding) trip to Costa Rica in 2019. Note the beaked mouth, used for hunting invetebrates. Their lack of concern for divers also makes them easy and appealing photographic subjects.
I achieved five lifers in Michoacán in 2019, four in 2020, three in 2021, and only two in 2022. Like all members of the Nightjar family, the Buff-collared Nightjar hunts for insects on the wing, at night, and rests immobile during the day, protected by its subtle camouflage.

Everyone is looking back on their best birds of 2019, so I thought it would be a good idea to look at a book that looks back a little further: Urban Ornithology: 150 Years of Birds in New York City , by P.
