My interest in photography started at age 17 and now it has become a very important part of enjoying and improving my birding experience. Photography has given me an opportunity to have a detailed look at the birds that I could not get with the use of binoculars. Here is the same bird after cropping for magnification.
How can one, in what is barely the second week of the first month of the year – even think of suggesting a Bird of the Year? I began recording my bird sightings with photographs in late 2009, and since then I have seen (or at least heard) a fair proportion of species recorded within my home country of Trinidad & Tobago.
I was told by some software savvy experts that you can download software that allow the airlines web-page to think that you are in Ecuador and therefore allow you to purchase the tickets on-line from anywhere in the world.
For the purposes of this post, I will assume a passing familiarity with the clone tool that comes with most picture editing software nowadays (however, if you are a first time cloner see the note at the bottom of the piece). Would the photograph be better if the whole bird was portrayed without being masked by unwanted greenery?
The adventure of the second European Breeding Bird Atlas, or EBBA2, was the topic of one of my first posts here at 10,000 Birds: In a warm Catalonian March, Barcelona is filled with sunlight and full of Rose-ringed and Monk Parakeets. In a very short time, we get two responses, two birds calling from opposite directions.
Last week I humbly offered up a totally unprofessional, possibly misinformed guide to taking bird photos that aren’t completely embarrassing, and that might even make you proud on occasion. Our focus is on seeing as many birds as possible on a given outing. No doubt other digital brands come with equivalent software.
For the last two decades, Europe and the greater Mediterranean have been covered by one of the best field guides anywhere: “Collins Bird Guide” by Lars Svensson et al., published in the US by Princeton as “Birds of Europe”. Unlike “Collins Bird Guide” (CBG) with 416 pages and 1.7 And my first impression is: Wow!
Birding outside my home country is expensive but the current black-market for the dollar exchange rate to the Argentinean Peso help us save money. Also we found some cheaper flights going to Santiago de Chile and leaving from Buenos Aires so we decided to put together a birding trip to take advantage of all of these savings.
And here is a photo from that birding trip, at Tualatin River NWR near Portland, Oregon. Also, I’ve been teaching myself web development so RainCrow was a practical way to practice skills and concepts I was learning while also making something useful for myself and the birding community.
In the meantime, it played host to my target bird for the trip. The Brown-headed Thrush , Turdus chrysolaus , is a very typical thrush and you may wonder why anyone would get excited about such an indistinguished bird. The post Brown-headed Thrush appeared first on 10,000 Birds. Success was almost immediate.
For many years now, I’ve resisted every form of listing software available, choosing instead to maintain my world and ABA life lists on a simple Excel spreadsheet. and throughout the Americas just so I could find them on the eBird map — even when the location I listed was a Birding Hotspot on that map! I blame Nate Swick.
philadelphia, but until such a time as my software updates, I shall continue to know them as Larus (this is a personal obstinacy and does not necessarily reflect the view of The Management ). Some of the birds have already completed the change to summer dress by the beginning of March, some have yet to start and others are in transition.
In fact, the guide represents such a bold leap forward that reading it makes one wonder what the future of bird guides holds. This is why we asked readers to share their views on the NEXT big step in bird guide design, philosophy, or technology as part of our Fun, Fun, Fun Crossley ID Guide Giveaway. Digital guides (for ipod, etc.)
During the final stages of the Pan-European bird-atlassing work last year, computer models of Serbian ranges for some 150 bird species were produced for the first time ever. Some bias was created because of large data set from Belgrade and environs where the majority of active eBirders live (I am not an eBird user – I am an eBirder).
From what I read, birds are the class of Aves [feathered, winged, bipedal, warm-blooded, egg-laying and vertebrate animals]. Also, and this is pretty cool, there are extinct birds that have different characteristics [no wings, for example. No surprise: there are about 10000 different species of birds in the world currently living.
Other bloggers were writing about birds and nature back in 2003, some even before then, and many of us found a communal spirit sparked by comments and crosslinks that carried into the world we wrote about. The former condition obviously improved rapidly over time as luminous new blogs populated our starry skies. That’s right….
www.eBird.org has been my “go to” birdingsoftware ever since Corey slapped me for getting hysterical over a Blue-winged Warbler at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Boston. Having found what I took to be a noteworthy bird, I wanted to publicise it, but was not sure how that might best be accomplished.
Link Analysis Software : Business intelligence software is useful for investigating links and does the heavy lifting for analysts. To stay one step ahead of potential risks, organizations need a bird's eye view of online activity — that's where social media, search data, and other sources come in.
Still, after I used modern software to turn the originally black-and-white photos into colored ones, some of them may still be worth looking at). So, to claim that I birded Inner Mongolia is a massive exaggeration. Let’s move to the birds). (Note: this post refers to a trip I took a long time ago, in 2015.
Without birds like Blackburnian Warbler to spark people’s interest in birding, we would have far fewer birders. He has been birding since he was a kid, led birding trips across the U.S. and in Asia, and his photos and articles have been published in many publications, including Birding and Birdwatcher’s Digest.
It is rumored that one of the researchers later became a software developer. It seems that at Nanhui, somebody is trying to kill even more than 2 bird(s) (species) with one stone (to be more accurate, not a single stone but a massive amount of concrete). While small, these birds cover impressive migration routes.
All of the sudden we have bird multi-media everywhere. Meantime, I got a copy of an iAuthored iBook on birds that I’ve reviewed here. And all this has caused there to be musings in my head about multi-media technology, birds, and birding. The very first multi-media resource for leaning birds were birds.
In early 2021, I spent a lot of time going through my bird photos before finally submitting 50 of them to the “Bird Photographer of the Year” competition held in the UK. This photo: Clearly, a fake – if such a bird really existed, wouldn’t many more people know about it?
A big thank you must also go to eBird whose listing software makes it possible. Best wishes to you all for 2019, keep safe and keep birding. Gray Go-away-bird – Corythaixoides concolor. Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. La Cotinga Birding B&B. Alphabetic Taxonomic.
Electric storms closed the new walkway there and he amassed a total list of just 3 birds! It is a dream, nay, a mission statement of 10,000 Birds to see as many of the World’s birds as possible.

When open source intelligence steps in, raw data becomes relevant and usable, providing the foundation for strategic moves supported by business intelligence software. It actually maps them out in real time, giving you a birds-eye view of your network's vulnerabilities. The reality is stagnation is not an option.
They are software mascots, cartoon characters, animated film dancers, children’s book heroes, zoo celebrities, and documentary film stars. That’s a lot of books about a bird family that cannot fly. Some are cute, some are dignified (and royal!). It is not an essential purchase.
