Did you ever wonder what the world looks like through a bird’s eyes? From the comfort of your own living room (or wherever your TV is), you’ll be able to essentially peer over the shoulders of birds as they fly, and see what they see.

I’m hardly the first person to observe that it’s all too easy to get overwhelmed by bad environmental news, and the title Endangered and Disappearing Birds of the Midwest sounds like a pretty major downer. Endangered and Disappearing Birds of the Midwest by Matt Williams – Indiana University Press, $29.00.

Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend would have been the Yellow-billed Cuckoo that popped up in front of him at Kissena Corridor Park on Saturday morning but a rarity in Brooklyn takes the cake instead. It was an incredibly easy twitch with the only downer being the bird’s tendency to stay deep in the reeds.

Readers of 10,000 Birds who pay attention will remember him from when he showed Patrick and me some really cool damselflies out in Suffolk County. Its debatable which one is a better bird for Florida. To be honest, this was actually a bit of a downer for me. As I viewed the bird through the camera, confusion entered my mind.
