For the many birds that depend on the saltings for their food, high tide is a time for roosting and waiting. If you are a birdwatcher or bird photographer, there’s no finer place to be than an estuary when the tide is falling. These were dark-bellied birds from Russia.

The hardest part of reviewing this jacket, much like the hardest part of birding itself, was reckoning with the perversity of Mother Nature.

Sure, they’re always a dependable, can’t-miss tick whenever you need them to be there, whether it’s the first day of the year, or the first few minutes of a Big Day or Christmas Bird Count.

When people think of birds and their sex lives…most of us don’t know much, although it’s not for a lack of interest.

My recent posts may have given the impression that business birding is always exotic , on remote islands or with lots of birds. However, any hour spent birding is an hour spent well!
