I had already joined the American Ornithological Society (AOS) because I thought it would be a good source for topics for articles and posts on 10000 Birds, so I received the email announcement and follow-ups for “NAOC 2020.” At the top are the keynote and plenary speakers, who generally have decades of experience and impressive backgrounds.
I recently asked whether PuertoRico should be part of the American Birding Association’s ABA Area. I will suggest an answer to the question: this post makes the argument that both PuertoRico and the U.S. Now that Hawaii is in the ABA Area , the next additions should be PuertoRico and the U.S.
Mid-January offers some pretty bland birding in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, or at least little you can’t see during the month before or after. Corey did not get out birding much this weekend after our trip to PuertoRico last week. What was your best bird of the weekend? How about you?
Birding in the Caribbean is about islands, beautiful beaches, extra special endemics, rum, and smiles. It could also be much more, maybe less, it all depends on how you want to rock an international birding trip. Go to Costa Rica and you will be looking at other birds but you can still get in some Caribbean slope birding.
During the decade, I submitted 1,219 checklists and observed 555 bird species, all in the U.S. I started eBirding about the same time I started birding, and I made an early executive decision (a very good one) that any pre-eBird observations simply did not count. Birding trips to Florida , New Mexico , and Texas are obvious too.
Two weeks into January, most birders cannot help but have new birds on their new year list. Lucky are those, though, who have added new birds to their life list since 2017 began. New birds early in new years set an excellent tone for what is to come. What was your best bird of the weekend? Wish us luck with the rest!
Did you see any birds that you particularly loved this weekend? That coupled with my preparations for a departure for PuertoRico late on Sunday means that I didn’t get much birding done. The mergansers were nice but not as nice as a new bird for me in Queens would have been! Mike’s Hoopoe.
Back on Friday, 12 February, I was dismayed when I read the weekly New York City Rare Bird Alert email. Why would a bird like that being reported in Queens dismay me? I went off to PuertoRico on Sunday night and had a blast and didn’t really give finding the Greater White-fronted Goose in Queens another thought.
In a recent post, Corey listed five things to do when it is too cold to go birding and one of those things is planning birding travel. Here in Portland, Oregon, it is more frequently too rainy rather than too cold to go birding, at least comfortably. territories such as PuertoRico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Richard totaled 352 species, an impressive number, by seeing almost all of the regularly occurring New York birds and the vast majority of the rarities that showed up in 2011. I also know that birds are in decline, with many seriously threatened species, lending some urgency to my desire to see them before they disappear.
A while back, I wrote several guest posts for 10,000 Birds and Mike and Corey asked if I wanted a regular monthly space. Nevertheless, five years seems a good time to reflect on the blogging experience. Nevertheless, five years seems a good time to reflect on the blogging experience. Bird researchers are good people!

I’m back in the United States now, but the best bird of my weekend was a Sand Partridge in Ein Gedi by the Dead Sea; not only does this bird symbolize the unearthly desert from which it hails, but this species represents my 1500th lifer! What was your best bird of the weekend? took the prize. How about you?
